American Express and Paypal?
Today I received a AMEX card for my belated birthday. So I was trying buy some beads off of a website with the cards and it directed me to paypal. So multiple times I tried different combinations of putting the AMEX code in. I had originally put on 25$ now it is currently at 8$. I didn't purchase anything, all it says on the AMEX website is -1, -1 ,-1. Can someone please explain to me what happened? I am new to this whole using AMEX and paypal. Do you think I could get the money restored, theoretically I didn't do anything and I didn't purchase anything.
Update:Also the website refuses to let me sign up after I put in the correct card number.

paypal will not accept prepaid or gift cards you cannot shop there period.
The problem with prepaid and gifts and most debits are holds if your order is $50 and you have a $50 card the hold will take the $50 and unless it is release by the time your order is ready to ship which 99% of the time it is not the card will be rejected for the sale. You need 2 times the purchase amount. Also most online site do not accept prepaid or gift cards at all. They are almost impossible to refunds on. Due to so many legit places Amazon getting orders together and then the sale being reject most places are no longer accepting these cards. Add to it sales to minors and soon no one will accept these cards except crooks. All prepaid and gift cards SUCK Federal law protects users of CC from fraud you have none with other cards
