Tell me about e-gold

[randomo]

Hey - A buyer wants to pay me with e-gold. I know nothing about it. Is this legit? Easy to work with? What should I know about it?

Thanks!

E-Gold is a very reputable company. You're actually better off accepting the payment via E-Gold as all payments are non-reversible.

When you want to get the money out you'll have to use an exchanger. Go here and look under the "Exchange Services" section.

I have been using it for a couple years without any problems. Its seems very popular for those countries that cant use Paypal.

Very unsecure. And many users are from countrys, where paypal isn't avable. Lot's of users - under 18 years old. they can't register to any other company, but they want to get money, and uses as alternative. Unsecure? Lot's of users every day loses money by hacked accounts. Some years ago i had one. But now i am using different services.

it's secure.

they need security code(or will send you) for every change in IP.

however there's re many phising site for it. so you got to be careful.

many phising email keep saying someone access your acc, yet they don't give you a PIN (cos you change IP of login), and from there, you know it's a fake.

anyway, it's will be safe and yup, you can trust egold

When someone's E-Gold account gets hacked, it's their own fault. Always. For example, someone downloads some "E-Gold hacking software" (trojan) and then compains that their own account got hacked and blames E-Gold....

Also, how does underage users make it unsecure? I suspect there are quite a few underage users here on NamePros...so what?

Does any provider do Paypal to Egold?

It's against PayPal's TOS to run an exchange service involving PayPal.

Thanks to everybody who has given advice.

I already have accounts with PayPal and Moneybookers, and I'm trying to keep my life simple ... The buyer who started all this wants to pay me with e-gold or bank wire, and I'm leery about doing any type of bank-account transaction with someone I don't know.

Guess I'll just lose this sale, rather than open another type of pseudo-money account that requires my attention and knowledge. Oh well!

Tell them to send a money order or use an escrow service. If they want the name bad enough for the price you are offering they will do so.

Yes, people do it all the time. But if PayPal does catch you (usually when people put something obvious like "E-Gold Exchange" in the payment note) they WILL freeze your account along with the person you're trading with.
