paypal is connected with credit card, and too many frauds there. didnt use paypal for years. e-gold is more secure, payments are final, non reversible. so if you "lose" your e-gold money, then your money is gone! more: E-Gold, fund account, cash out, all about the gold backed payment processor http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/722311.aspx Cash out small amount of e-gold, withdraw less e-gold money http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/886326.aspx AlertPay: Alternate ECurrency Good for Cashout E-Gold http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/696409.aspx E-Gold and Online Security Recommendations http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/447072.aspx Online Security: How to keep your e-gold and other accounts safe? http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/441238.aspx Online Security: Use Firefox NOT iexplorer to access e-gold and other accounts http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/688769.aspx Use IP address to access your e-gold account securely http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/830929.aspx Use ROBOFORM to Protect Your E-Gold and Other Accounts? http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/452266.aspx Easy way to check if an e-gold account is blocked or not http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/807893.aspx

e-gold is a virtual currency backed by gold, that can be used to pay or get paid on the net. once a e-gold payment is done its irreversable, that is why its used mostly for transaction where this feature is important, its kind of dangerous because of that, because once you made a payment (or once you are tricked into one like happened to me) there now way back, its a very anonymous paying method because without a really detailed court order there is no way of finding out who is behind e-gold account, that makes it probably really interesting for transaction in that shouldnt be traced the good side about e-gold is that its instantly and since its a currency of its own transaction costs are limited it kind of hard to obtain e-gold, you have to go through independent brokers that most of the time will only except wired money. i use e-gold and like certain features (esp. instant payment), you just have to be really careful about who you pay and how good your pc security is, if you are not using anti-virus software and spyware constantly (really constantly), stay away from e-gold, chances are good you get robbed.

I use e-gold because paypal is not yet available in my country. But i also have a paypal account for buying online. I only heard good things about e-gold. It is secure and in times of problems the admin /staff can be contacted and will reply to you not in email but they will call you so that your passphrase will never be known to others than yourself.
