How Startselect Works for Buying Paysafecard

Startselect sells Paysafecard vouchers as instant-delivery digital codes across most of Europe. Complete the purchase on startselect.com and a 16-digit PIN code arrives in your inbox within seconds. No physical card is involved: you copy the code and enter it at checkout on any site that accepts Paysafecard, which covers over 4,500 online stores including Steam, PlayStation Store, Xbox, and Google Play.

Startselect offers two Paysafecard variants. Paysafecard Classic comes in fixed denominations: €10, €15, €20, €25, €30, €50, and €100. Paysafecard Flex lets you load a custom amount directly into your myPaysafecard account instead of generating a one-time PIN. Flex suits regular Paysafecard users who prefer managing a single balance across multiple purchases.

Startselect is an authorized EU reseller operating since 2009 (KvK 52837610). Trustpilot score: 4.4 / 5 from over 36,000 reviews (Startselect, 2026). It was acquired by Recharge in September 2023 and operates from Eindhoven, Netherlands.

Step-by-Step: Buying Paysafecard on Startselect

Step 1: Visit Startselect and Select Your Country

Go to startselect.com and select your country from the navigation at the top of the page. This step matters: Startselect adjusts available products and payment methods by region. The German store shows EUR-denominated cards and Sofort; the Swiss store includes Twint and CHF options.

Step 2: Find Paysafecard in the Catalogue

Search for "Paysafecard" in the search bar or navigate to the Gift Cards section. You will see Classic card denominations and the Flex option if available in your region. Click the product page for the amount you want to buy.

Step 3: Choose a Denomination and Add to Cart

Select the denomination you need, from €10 to €100. Classic cards are sold at face value with no added markup. Add the product to your cart and click through to checkout.

Step 4: Select a Payment Method and Pay

At checkout, choose from PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, iDEAL (Netherlands), Bancontact (Belgium), Sofort, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. Guest checkout is available. No account is needed. The payment takes under two minutes to complete.

Step 5: Receive Your Code and Redeem It

Your 16-digit Paysafecard PIN arrives by email within seconds of payment confirmation. If it does not appear within two minutes, check your spam folder. At checkout on any supported site, select Paysafecard as the payment method and enter the PIN when prompted.

Fees, Limits, and Availability

Startselect sells Paysafecard at face value with no surcharge added. The minimum denomination is €10 and the maximum per card is €100. Buying multiple cards in a single order is possible if you need a larger total amount (Startselect, 2026).

Startselect covers most of Europe: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Poland, and others. Payment method availability varies by country: iDEAL is Netherlands-only, Bancontact is Belgium-only, and some methods are not active in France, Italy, Portugal, or Spain. Check at checkout to confirm which options are live for your location. If Startselect does not support your preferred payment method, Dundle is a well-established European alternative that also stocks Paysafecard codes.

Paysafecard codes are region-specific. Codes from the German Startselect store are EUR-denominated for EU use. Buyers in Switzerland should use the Swiss-facing store (startselect.com/ch-de or ch-fr) to get CHF-denominated codes where relevant.
