Nintendo UK announced a brand new option for those living in Europe, including Germany and any other country that uses €uro: you can now purchases eShop cards using the PayPal service.

This feature also allows for gifting eShop cards and anyone can use it, as long as you own a European Nintendo system and have a region matching Nintendo ID. The amounts are 15£, 25£ and 50£ and hopefully they'll add more choices in the future.
