Do they accept American Express, SEPARATE from Paypal? Anyone can set up a Paypal account to receive money, anyone.
independently accept the American Express card, and this is because of the rigorous vetting Amex does of a business’s credit worthiness. Amex also offers fraud protection vastly superior to that of Paypal. This is why soooo many businesses do NOT take American Express. They can’t qualify to and/or are afraid of the fraud repercussions. And we have all heard of the excuse, “Amex costs too much to accept.” Let’s get this straight, they are too cheap to independently accept Amex, and YOU want them working on YOUR watch. LOL.
