So I'm probably going to buy something from eBay for the first time ever, is it better to use my Amex or chase incase I get duped like the stories I seen/read. Will Amex provide me better security?When it comes to cards security, AMEX is no doubt the best. but considering that Ebay has payer protection, it doesn't make a difference whcich card. I'd say pick the card that give you the most rewards back
I know this is an oft repeated statement but I disagree. Maybe for certain large purchases Amex has an advantage but I broke my Google Nexus that I purchased with my CSP and the service I recieved was awesome. I wasn't even sure buyer protection would cover something like dropping my phone and breaking it but I called them up and they said it was covered. I emailed the documents they requested and my claim was approved, about two weeks later Chase sent me a check for the complete cost of repairs. Awesome service and everything was done over the phone and email. I know AMex has this mythical aura around it by some on this board but other cards also have great buyer protection.

It's not surprising considering that CSP has a different type of service. Try doing it with a Chase Freedom Card (unless you're lucky to get an Visa Sig) and you'll see the difference. AMEX does it for all of their cards (made through Centurion Bank). Discover also provides this service as well and it's quite well and very quick to response as welll. one thing I love I love about the CSP is the fact it has no Forex fees. The one problem I have with it (as I do with most American cards) is that they don't have the Chip & Pin which is a nightmare if you're trying to pump gas without an attendant in a town around France for example.
