How to get Amazon gift cards buying paying via PayPal?

I'm hoping to make some Amazon.com (US) purchases by using my Paypal credits. Are there any ways I can purchase Amazon Gift Card (credits) with Paypal?

    There's a subreddit called gift card exchange (https://www.reddit.com/r/giftcardexchange) where you can exchange paypal for amazon and vice versa.

    As long as you follow the rules you won't get burned. I made a trade there a couple of months ago with no problems.

    Ooh - very interesting. I'll check that out - thanks.

    EDIT:- It seems a bit complicated. Are you able to explain how I would go about striking a deal. I would post a thread asking for email based Amazon voucher in exchange for a Paypal payment - and I would have to pay a premium - i.e pay $110 US (via paypal) to get $100 US Amazon credit? Or would I be more likely to get a discount? i.e. pay $90 US (via paypal) to get $100 US Amazon credit?

    Also, are people able to transfer their Amazon credit from one Amazon user to another - or is it via Gift Card & Gift Card Codes only?

    So no Australian based options?

      The way how those exchanges work is that you are paying a fee for the exchange to take place because you can't buy AGC with Paypal in the first place. Of course there is also the risk of the buyer filing a chargeback after they have received the gift card as well.

        Yeah I thought that might be the case. I'm thinking it's perhaps not ideal if it's going to cost 10% extra.

      Thanks I'll check it out.

      It looks good - they sell Amazon egift cards, and they accept Paypal - so unless there's something i'm missing this should be the solution i'm after
