Hi again Alan,
I do not want to comment further about AMEX other than to say I agree with your comments.
The problem you have IMHO is firmly on Ebay's doorstep as I understand that they are the owners of Paypal. If this is correct then surely your son should be able to pursue the problem thru the Seller/Buyer Protection scheme they automatically apply to transactions, assuming of course that this was an Ebay transaction in the first place. IF the transaction WAS thru Ebay then claim on them, not Paypal. It should not matter what type of card is linked to Paypal, the guarantee should still be good!
Like everything out there in cyberspace, one needs to be ultra careful.
