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!

I've been using e-gold for about 3 years almost on daily basis and had no problems (except few days when e-gold was under ddos attacks or so - I couldn't access my accounts). I have few e-gold accounts (e-gold allows to have multiple accounts) and none of them were hacked. Yes, I heard about people losing their e-gold money due to hackers, but in most cases that's their fault - they use the same password for e-gold as for other sites, they don't use security features provided by e-gold, they don't have any firewalls on their PCs or they use insecure e-mail services.

I use http://icegold.com services to exchange my e-gold. Icegold is very good for e-gold users from baltic countries since they have bank accounts here, so you get your money fast and exchange fee is very low. I don't know about other countries, but as far as I know there are many sites where you can exchange your e-gold.

I've used them too. They are really supportive.

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.

What could be the reason. Paypal doesnt lose out on business if that happens. Or for that matter , why do they interfere in it?

I like egold, it is very safe to use and better than moneybookers
