Default Which gift card is the best to buy?

So i need to add bank accounts to ebay and pp to start listing, but first i need a gift card to add to it.
Which one is the best?
I was at the family dollar earlier and they had a few there.
all of them had about a 2-3$ activation fee and about 5$ monthly fee.

The list of them goes,

-My vanilla personal reloadable prepaid card
-american express serve
-prepaid visa
-prepaid master card(it said your name goes here->xxxxx which i don't get because the card is there and made. I insert the name online?)
-ready debit
-paypal master card.

and they all seemed to say, "This is not a gift card"
I've read vanilla is a good way to go, but what I'm confused about it "this is not a gift card" don't i need a gift card?

please dot make the mistake of getting the wrong card.

Only Visa Vanilla's Gift Cards work.



key word "GIFT"

Make sure it has a Present Box on front.


They have $ 20-500
all sorts of colors with a Gift Box up front those are good.


and they also have 25,50,100 ones that are good aswell. As long as it has the GIFT BOX UP FRONT.

yea, i wanted to make sure before trying to link anything or wasting money, none of those cards i saw said gift card.

so this card i am sure i can find it at walmart or something?
it is a minimum 20$ gift card just to link, then the 20$ i put onto the card as a "gift" can be used to pay ebay fees, shipping fees through ebay or for any other stuff i want on the street right?

Prepaid non-reloadable vanilla visa is good.

Entropay is also worth checking (online vcc service)

MM78 laid out the known & working card in the posts above.

Used correctly there's a 100% success rate.

Good Luck with your search.

Never seen anything like these here in the UK, have a feeling we might only have them in the bigger towns over here, and being way up north have literally never seen any visa debit or mastercard debit prepaids that we can buy just from a store like this. Was pointed towards Tesco and Asda as good potential suppliers of these types of cards, but they reality was when I went to have a look for them, our local stores did not have a clue about these, dozens of Google and Google+, Next, Dorothy Perkins, and the like, so stores own cards that could only be used on purchases made in person. No cards that could be used online with Paypal for example.

I will be trying the ones MM78 posted that is definitely the best deal.


@jdm dont be confused by the word gift card. You can use it like cash everywhere. It passes as debit and credit. (vanilla visa gift card)

Double check but the advice is for a Vanilla Visa Gift card, not the Target issued cards.

Be careful of having the accurate info before leaping to a purchase.
