Just adding to this as I started the circuitous process again a couple of weeks ago. To clarify, am in the UK. I ordered a US$500 gift card from the US shop disney site. When it asked me to go to the UK page I just clicked the little grey X in the top corner of the pop up.
You need to make up a US address - I used our home resort - but the card is virtual and will be e-mailed.
However at some point there's a fraud prevention limit for paypal transactions. $500 was enough to trigger this. Anyway, after a week of hearing nothing, I went into the chat box, put in my order number & e-mail and it told me to call a 1-800 number in the US (use skype -it's free) This is the anti-fraud team who check you are who you claim and will process the order if they're happy. e-mail arrived a few hours later.
