Default Visa/Amex Gift Card to Paypal/eBay

I just got an iphone 4 (woohoo) and would like to get a screen protector/case for it.

I can't justify paying $15 for a small piece of plastic, so I looked on eBay and found tons of 'em for less than a dollar shipped.

Now I know if it's too good to be true it usually is, but a bunch of people seem to have bought them without anything bad happening (ID theft, $$ stolen from account, etc)

I just want to err on the side of caution and buy a small $20 ish visa/amex gift card and link it to a new paypal account.

Has anyone done this?

Do you get charged a fee everytime you make a purchase?

Thanks!
