I don't know if this is only for the Netherlands, Europe or everywhere, but I thought some of you wanted to know this.
Your post made me think I wouldn't be able to register my new spg business card that I just received. But low and behold, I just added it to my paypal account and had no problems. Must have been something else preventing your adding the amex card.

paypal in other countries

Yes, it varies. You can't use it with amex in Australia.

You can't add any new cards to the system.

This moratorium has been going on since PayPal Australia started operating.

Resurrecting an old thread!
I just got screwed on a purchase (guy promised he can deliver CO gold, never came thru) that was made thru paypal. Paid with Amex.
Apparently there is 45 days to make a claim (he screwed me around for 2-3 months and i just gave up) with paypal, which has passed.
Can I dispute charge with Amex?

Only if you want to lose your PayPal privileges forever.

Similar thing happened to me in terms of getting screwed my an ebay auction, and I already filed a dispute through AMEX (wish I filed the paypal dispute earlier but whatever). Honestly, if paypal decides to shut my account down (and I do a LOT of purchasing through paypal) then whatever....I'll figure something out. When I spoke to the AMEX rep, that's what they recommended me to do, file a dispute with them. Paypal IMO, does not look after their customers, whereas I feel that AMEX does (or at least does a MUCH BETTER job than paypal).

What I could see happening with me is that my dispute (hopefully) goes through, get money back. Paypal being paypal decides to "close" or lock my account as a result (even though this is the first dispute that I've EVER done in my life).

In closing, this site can best explain it better: http://www.paypalsucks.com

Make sure you pull *all* of your money out of your PayPal account before you dispute. When they shut it down, they keep your money for 6 months.
