Do you normally transact that amount via PayPal with you AMEX?

I called back and got a supervisor to approve my $1800 purchase, but if I have to do that every time its not worth it. |

Maybe I had the luck (or lack of it) to speak to a rep who didn't know what I meant?

Believe it is in reference to e-bay
My understanding of that e-mail - I got it also - is that is for paypal fees related to e-bay transactions made for that day
|
My fee of $0.34 for my $1.5 test (just to see how it works) is already credited back. It is a quasi-cash transfer not related to ebay. However I did not dare to try large amounts.

My ~$200 fee on my ~$6000 charge has not yet credited to my account, I just checked. There must be an investigation going on. :)

I had legitimate sales for that day through my non-profit account that had about $6 in fees refunded yesterday.

Keep us posted. Thanks! |
Just had refund processed for about US$825 in transfers (I was afraid to do any more after reading all the scary stuff in this thread!). Nice! :D

I got the refund for my $3000 transfer yesterday
|
Got 2.65 in credit for not sure what :)

.. I just made a $500 purchase followed a few minutes later by a $5500 Paypal purchase on an Amex! This surprised me! Amex tells me different things depending who I talk to. Earlier this month I couldn't make a $1800 Amex purchase.... |
