Using a Mastercard Giftcard to charge Zen

I used to buy Ultimate Game Cards at Macs here until they stopped selling them. I live in Canada, and I cannot find them anywhere else. My friend used a Mastercard gift card and Google Checkout to purchase Zen, and so I bought one to try. I made a billing profile and have tried to purchase Zen about 5 times. First, it was because my email was checked as confidential (which apparently makes the transaction auto-fail). After that, it just tells me that the card fails, and re-enter the CVC (which I have done multiple times). I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, since I bought a $25 card and with the US/Canada exchange the way it is, I am only trying to buy 1000 Zen, so there should be enough money on the card. I cancelled every single order and tried again, still failed.

Can anyone help me please?

    Can you use one-time pre-paid credit cards with paypal though? I can't recharge the money on the card (I haven't got down to Money Mart to get a reusable one) so once the balance is gone I'd have to change the credit card numbers.

    Hello,

    If the gift card is insured by Mastercard, you should not have any issues making the payment via PayPal through the direct charge option. Take the steps needed to start the purchase via PayPal and when you get to the screen that prompts you to either log into a PayPal account or enter billing information directly on the left side, use that left portion and enter the information that is attacched tot hat card. Also, make sure that you have already attached a physical address to the card prior to purchase. Most gift card issuers require a physical address for online payments.
