Am i covered for gift cards with paypal (non ebay sale)

I am looking at buying a gift card that will be paid for by 'goods' paypal. I understood gift cards were now covered for INR ect but now i am concerned that this is just ebay's new rule and not paypal.
Just had a look on paypal t&c's and found this
PayPal Buyer Protection only applies to PayPal payments for certain tangible, physical goods. Payments for the following are not eligible for re-imbursement under PayPal Buyer Protection:

• intangible items
• services
• real estate (including, without limitation, residential property)
• businesses
• vehicles (including, without limitation, motor vehicles, motorcycles, caravans, aircraft and boats),
• custom made items
• travel tickets (including, without limitation, airline flight tickets)
• items prohibited by the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy
• items that violate eBay’s Prohibited or Restricted Items Policy
• licences
• access to digital content
• industrial machinery used in manufacturing
• items equivalent to cash (including, without limitation, gift cards)
• Items purchased using Zong, Website Payments Pro or Virtual Terminal
• Personal Transaction payments

is this up to date and correct or are they covered does anyone know?
