You have to check whether your paypal account is linked with American Express or not.

 

Because, just for you to know that please don't ever add your american express credit card to your paypal account. It's a real pain in the ***. Reason being is because, since the amex credit card company and paypal do not have good relation ship, once there is a problem, then they won't be able to solve the problem for you fast enough. Therefore it's better to avoid using american express card especially for paypal before the problem occurs. You see, in my case, I have my amex card linked with paypal account and when ever I tried to pay for the item that i have bought on eBay using my paypal account, I could not able to complete the transaction. Since my account is linked with amex cc, I have always resulted the unsuccessful payment Page. I have tried a few times and the $ have been deducted from my amex cc for as many times as I have attempted and later, not only my ebay account has been striken with unpaid item case ,but also, it takes a few weeks to retain my credit back into my amex credit card account.

It's a real pain. So that's why I would suggest u guys not using amex card for your paypal account,. If you have any past experience or whatsoever, pls share, Thanks :smileyhappy:
