How to Buy Amazon Gift Cards with PayPal in Europe

Two ways to use PayPal for Amazon purchases

PayPal is not accepted on Amazon. None of Amazon's European storefronts, including Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.nl, and Amazon.it, have integrated PayPal at checkout, and that is unlikely to change. Two methods let you use your PayPal balance for Amazon purchases in Europe.

Method 1: Buy an Amazon gift card with PayPal. Purchase a digital Amazon gift card from Dundle or Startselect, pay with PayPal, and receive the code by email within seconds. Redeem the code on your Amazon account and use the balance at checkout. This works in every European country where PayPal is active and requires no minimum balance.

Method 2: Use a PayPal Debit Mastercard. PayPal offers a debit Mastercard in select European countries. Since Amazon accepts Mastercard, this card works directly at Amazon checkout without any workaround. Check your PayPal app or account settings to see if a debit card is available in your country. If it is, this is the simpler long-term option.

Step-by-step: buying an Amazon gift card with PayPal

The gift card method works for all European PayPal users and requires no prior setup.

Step 1: Choose a retailer

Dundle and Startselect both sell Amazon gift cards across Europe and accept PayPal at checkout. Both deliver codes by email, typically within seconds of payment being confirmed.

Step 2: Select the correct Amazon store and amount

Choose the regional store that matches your Amazon account: Amazon.de for Germany and Austria, Amazon.fr for France, Amazon.nl for the Netherlands, Amazon.es for Spain, Amazon.it for Italy. Then select the amount. Most retailers offer denominations from €5 to €100 per card.

Step 3: Pay with PayPal

At checkout on the gift card retailer site, select PayPal. You will be redirected to log in and authorise the transaction. Payment is drawn from your PayPal balance, a linked bank account, or a linked card.

Step 4: Redeem the code on Amazon

Your gift card code arrives by email, usually within seconds. Sign in to Amazon, go to Gift cards in account settings, enter the code, and the credit loads to your account immediately. At checkout, select Amazon balance as your payment method to use the credit.

Fees, limits, and availability

PayPal charges no fee for same-currency purchases within the EEA (PayPal, 2026). If your PayPal balance is in a different currency than the gift card denomination, for example a CHF balance buying a euro card, a conversion fee applies. Keeping your PayPal balance in euros avoids this.

Most retailers offer Amazon gift cards in denominations of €5 to €100 per card. You can buy multiple cards to reach a higher balance. There is no platform-imposed limit on how many cards you can purchase per session.

Dundle and Startselect are available across Europe and support regional Amazon gift cards for Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, and most other European markets. Both accept PayPal.
