I have paypal and am happy with them, but I'm noticing a trend where this other company E-gold has been popping up. What can you tell me about E-gold? Have you used them? Do you like them?

e-gold is an electronic currency, issued by e-gold Ltd., a Nevis corporation, 100% backed at all times by gold bullion in allocated storage. Other e-metals are also issued: e-silver is 100% backed by silver, e-platinum is 100% backed by platinum, and e-palladium is 100% backed by palladium. However, the most popular e-metal (by an overwhelming margin) is e-gold. e-gold is integrated into an account based payment system that empowers people to use gold as money. Specifically, the e-gold payment system enables people to Spend specified weights of gold to other e-gold accounts. Only the ownership changes - the gold in the treasury grade vault stays put.

Well as you know E-gold is an alternative to Paypal, which they are ways to pay and be paid electronically via the net. The only difference in Paypal and E-gold is: Supposedly E-gold is backed by real gold, and they pay you with gold. So when you get a certain amount of money and want it sent to you it's in gold. Then once you get your payment you are responsible for converting it into cash if that's what you want to do. I hope I'm understanding this right, because that's what I've had people telling me.
