trying to escape from a limited paypal
if you report a credit card lost and your bank send you a new one, and you try to add it to a new paypal account, does paypal have a way of knowing this card is somehow linked to the old one?

Nope, that's a fresh card for your new paypal.
Go use it.

But if you have many banks and are a person that is always losing things then all good

Only the bank would know and the credit reporting agencies (since new credit card activity would replace the old one)

I just received a notice from AMEX ,it said it has decided to issue a new card and it is on the way,I do not have to do anything??
I assume it is going to update my AMEX card on every site it is registered?
I used AMEX card for grocery shopping as it gives me 6% rebate,not for online purchase so cant figure how AMEX decided it has been >tempered??

In short: it's possible that they know, and changing to a new card doesn't necessarily sever PayPal's ability to identify the connection.

Other sites being use for one off purchases, etc would not have access to your AMEX number by default. | |
