Can I use a VISA or Mastercard GIFT CARDS or PayPal to buy Bitcoins??
I heard Bitcoinmarket accepts PayPal but I though PayPal said no to Bitcoins???
Bitcoin Market discontinued trading for bitcoins due to massive amounts of fraud occurring:

VirWoX still accepts PayPal to add funds, though you need to buy L$ (Lindens) and then trade those for BTCs.

If you already had a trust rating you might find a seller on the #bitcoin-otc marketplace willing to accept your PayPal or gift card offers, though without a rating / history a seller usually cannot be found.

One method that sems to work well is to trade a MoneyPak for bitcoins. Occasionally there is a seller in -otc accepting MoneyPak. Otherwise, there is at least one exchange offering it:
