Just curious why can’t I add an AMEX (American Express) card to my paypal (Australia) account. Only Visa/Mastercard debit/credit cards are supported currently.
Apparently, it’s a known issue:
…Unfortunately, Amex card cannot be registered or used in PayPal
Australia. All American Express cards are processed in USD, causing
currency conversion fees for our members outside the US. Another reason
why is because PayPal has localised the Australian site, PayPal believes
it is in your best interest to add a Visa or MasterCard to avoid the
fees for adding and using an American Express card. …If you already registered an Amex Card before PayPal Australia had been
localised, you may use the card up until the expiration date of the
card. Once the card expired, you would not be able to use it or update
it. The only way is to add a Visa or MasterCard
