Bit confused, your email address identifies your paypal account, if you have sent the gift payment to a different email address then it may well have gone elsewhere.

No you have the option to gift it to someone which I did as it was Mother's Day I gifted to my mum put in correct email address for her ....recieved an email to my own account to say it's been delivered to my mums email but when she checked there's nothing there nothing in spam folder junk folder inbox nothing yet I had the confirmation of sending email To myself that it had been sent

This has literally just happened to me. Im so annoyed. I think the website may be down as you can't purchase the code for yourself which I tried multiple times. Therefore I purchased the item as a gift and sent it to my email. Now, I have recieved the confirmation email, yet haven't recieved the gift. So I email the seller through Resolution Centre but they haven't got back to me yet. Hopefully this gets resolved soon rather than later. As there must be many of buyers having this problem. I'll message here if I recieve more information on this subject. Good luck.

Would this be the same for a Steam Digital code as that what I purchased. And yes, I think it is PayPal's problem. Hopefully they will get it back up and working again. Cheers for the quick reply on this! 

 

Thanks, Nathan

Yeah sure. I won't call them as the only headquaters are in USA and Luxenburg so Im not sure if the have a helpline in UK. I'll probably email them. But sure I'll tell you what happens. This might be a while though. Thanks.
