What I do is, use paypal to pay for items (since that's how a lot of small buisnesses accept credit cards) but I use my credit card as the source (not a bank account)
So if something goes wrong, I can dispute it with Amex and then they'll go and fight either paypal or the merchant. It's much safer that way, since you're a customer of the credit card, and they don't want to get ripped off either.
