Paypal couldn't confirm my M2 Amex card and got this message.

"The Card Verification System used by PayPal is currently unavailable. Please try to add your card at a later time. We apologize for this inconvenience."

Any ideas? sifus?

yes, only AMEX
most online transactions using AMEX will require calling CS

depends whether if you're a frequent user or how much you trust online transaction.
last time cannot go through so i called and say no need blocking, so no blocking.
but i bear the risk of fraud, but paypal got withhold the money and one can open dispute with paypal if there's a fraud.

i see ~ yes ~ i'm a frequent user

so sifu ~ which is better? visa or amex on paypal?

i'm still thinking which to use ~ =_="

now sure about visa's conversion rate, but here's a comparison for amex conversion as of 28-Jun:

USD1.95 = MYR6.43

i was confirming my amex to paypal, RM1.95 transacted on 28-Jun, posted on 29-Jun, listed in M2U on 30-Jun.

visa conversion fee is 1% and amex is 2.5% ~

but amex got 5% on weekends ~

so in long run which is better, see experienced sifus can advise sikit or not ~ smile.gif
