For some reason, I can't use any Visa cards with ebay on a recent attempt to buy something.

Hi .. A real Visa card or a gift card. PayPal system does not like gift cards and will reject. Gift cards must be registered on line to have any chance of being accepted.

Can open a PP account and add a bank account. A bank Visa/Mastercard  debit card can be added.
