paypal
How can I transfer money from AMEX to PayPal. PayPal has an "Add Fund" option, but it didn't really work for me.
The error I got was:
PayPal does not currently offer the
ability to add funds from your bank
account.When you make a payment, PayPal
charges the buyer's credit card and
instantly credits the seller's PayPal
account.
Paypal provides you with pretty much all the details from their history tab. You can go search on specific dates
Clicking on details will give you the full details
Within the date-range you can drilldown to specific events
I have verified mine with just a credit card by following the "Add a credit card" option - just gone in and checked it now. The process involves PayPal charging a nominal small fee to the card, then you enter the code that will appear on your statement.
They still would prefer me to add a bank account to the details page (they offer to lift receiving limits if I do this) but my account is verified purely from the credit card validation.
(Caveat - I am in the UK. Rules may be different)

You can't transfer money from a credit card to PayPal. However, you can add your credit card as a money source to fund purchases through PayPal. Your credit card number will not be given to the merchant, the charge will come from PayPal, so your card is still secure from online fraudsters.
To link a credit card as a funds source, go to
My Account/Profile/Add or Edit Credit Card.
