do you use e-gold?

Is anyone here using e-gold for online payments?

No I haven't used that.

I prefer PayPal, because it is the most well known service of its kind, and users prefer it.

I've been with e-gold more than 2 years. i love it. =]

Is there any difference of egold with paypal?

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. a lot difference. =P

Can you name some? :)

umm..e-gold currency price is depend on the worth of gold . it's the main difference. =]

A lot of companies are switching from paypal to e-gold lately. Tintin, do you use paypal as well? I have to get some money from paypal into my e-gold account, but the companies offering to do the transfer are charging too much or require you to transfer a lot.

I use paypal..but sorry i cant help since my paypal account is upgraded .. it will cost me a lot fees to get your paypal fund. =]

That is very interesting. I will investigate them later....

For now I found this. Mind nl this might be interesting to you. It is a php class that integrates the e-gold system with your apps.

I dont care about a reasonable fee, but the sites offering the transfer charge like 25%... How high would the fee be? I'm looking at transfering 100 US$ of my paypal account, you pay your fee and keep a little cut and add the rest to my e-gold... What about it? I will even transfer the $100 in advanced...

And you will also give me a cut as I am hosting the deal's software.

LoL, I am just kidding :)

interesting link Nikolas! I'll probably be needing something like that soon

Sure! would 80% be enough? lol

I would charge you more, but you are friend so I will not get more :)

But if you are a customer. Stay with paypal is always the way to go . Cos there are a lot fraud stuff with e-gold. =]

well...i can help ..but you know what .. i used egold to fund my paypal so i have some left in my paypal ..but i dont really need paypal right now ..since i only use paypal to buy stuff. but i can use egold for everything so if i pay you egold..i'll still need egold to pay other stuff.. that means i should do another exchange for egold .... that's another fee for me as well... but 25% is definitely too high... lol...

I see. Thanks for the info :)

Also paypal protect customer like you can request refund etc..but you cant do it with egold. =]

I think I will stick to PayPal after reading this thread. Better still, I will wait patiently for Google's payment system!

Good for ya . xD

I do.  Its hard to get a hold of e-gold without paying high fees though.

I prefer Neteller actually but I dont' think it has many users in US at this stage.

I have to use it since PayPal?'s service doesn't include Egypt :(

Really? Is there a reason for this or they just don't include Egypt?

Off topic : Mohab check the shoutbox ;)

No, but They are trying to make thier service include all the world's countries.
