Is there is a fee involved to pay ebay fee using amex credit card

[bw_bargain]

Hi guys, I just want to ask whether paying ebay fees using amex credit card has any fees involved?

i've always used paypal to pay my ebay fees. however just recently, i've come across the fact that we can use amex credit card, this is really good for credit card rewards points.

when i pay ebay fees, i did not log onto paypal, but i use credit cards instead, has anyone done this before, is there any surcharge?

Ask Amex I suggest.

Paypal only charge the recipient a fee.

Can I ask where you come across the information? I just tried to change mine from my Visa to American Express and it still only came up with Visa or Mastercard options.

If you want to register an American Express card with Paypal and you think they won't accept it I suggest you email or phone Paypal to check if it can be registered.

What credit or debit cards can I use with PayPal?

You can use MasterCard, Visa, Discover and American Express cards to make PayPal payments.

Here’s how to add a credit or debit card:

Log in to your PayPal account.Click Profile near the top of the page.Click My money. Click Update next to "Credit and Debit cards".Click Add another card. Enter the information and click Add Card.

Ebay only accept Visa or Mastercard for auto billing  - to make american express payment you need to do it via paypal.

Not sure about surcharges ??  best to ring Paypal to get info on actual charges, if any apply, as credit card surcharges can apply to "personal" transactions.
