Sending money to friends from Amex via Paypal

[Kathy1985]

hi 

is it legal to send money to friends and family from your Amex via Paypal? Or asking your friend to transfer you that money to your current account? So in essence you withdraw fcash from Amex but through paypal and then through friend? Doesnt sound legal but does anyone know the rules?

Hi Kathy1985,

Welcome to our community page.

You can register and use your American express card as a funding source.

I have to say this sounds like cash advancing and I am afraid it is not allowed with our service, as clarified under the 'Restricted Activities' found in Section 9 of our User Agreement.

Please note that if you participate in a restricted activity while using our service, we may temporarily or permanently suspend your account. We may also hold or delay a payment at our discretion, to ask you for information about any payments you've completed.

You can view the terms of using our services by clicking the 'Legal' link at the bottom of any PayPal webpage, and clicking on 'User Agreement for PayPal Service'.

I hope this info helps. If you need further help, I am in Twitter @AskPayPal or through our UK Facebook page.
