Is it possible to buy an UK Nintendo eShop card with a non-UK PayPal account?
I’ve tried the PayPal Gifts page but I keep getting an error. Nintendo UK does not respond to my emails and PayPal could not fix this issue either. I’ve also tried gamepointsnow.com but they don’t sell to my country (Croatia).

- If you are buying an item, unless otherwise agreed with the Retailer:
- you must pay PayPal Digital Gifts for the item using a valid PayPal account with a registered address in the UK; and
- your purchase of the item will not complete until after your payment to PayPal Digital Gifts has completely cleared.
To answer your question: No it is not possible to buy an UK Nintendo eShop card without a valid UK Paypal Account on paypal-gifts as long as the retailer dont say so.
Here's a list of retailers (in europe) ordered by country where you could buy eShop cards but i dont know if you'll find UK cards there. I'm sorry but I wont tell you were exactly you can buy what you're looking for because questions like "where can i buy XYZ" are not allowed neither recommendations are but Yes you can find what you're looking for if you take your time searching for it.
