I've never used it, but if I remember correctly, you make an account, fund your account(you are charged for this) and then send money to whoever's e-gold account once yours is funded.
You have to use a funding agent to put the money into your e-gold account then you can transfer the money from your account to someone elses. Funding agents include goldex.net anygoldnow.com spacegold.com as well as others.
so i dont fund it through e-gold.com???
No, you can't put money directly into your e-gold account you have to use a funding agent that will charge you a percent (around 10%). E-gold just holds onto the money and tranfers it to other people for you.Quote:

Any concerns about security when sending money this way?
I consider myself intelligent and it took me about an hour to figure out how that sh*t works. You have to set up the e-gold account, which is the equivelent of a normal checking or savings account. Then you literally have to buy gold (for an added fee) from one of the websites mentioned, and transfer the gold into your e-gold account. Once you fund your account, you can then send the gold to your suppliers account...personally I would rather take a chance on losing cash then having to deal with it...good luck!
yea man... i'm working on figuring it out... haha i'm not a dumb kid myself... at least i dont think so... and its giving me hell
That **** was a bunch of crap. I set up the accounts and everything and never used it. Western Union is much easier.
yea and did u get 1 cc or 1 ml or the same wow am confused again! :lol:Quote:

100-200 sounds a little more rational...
Got this idea from my homegirl whose parents are in cali and their bank didnt have any branches on the east coast. Use paypal...thats how i send money to my little brother cause he is a small ass college town. You just get a pay pal account and link it to your checking. He also has the 'paypal debit card' (which they give you for free as well) and he also has a paypal account as well linked to his checking account. It liek 1 or 2% per transaction or somethign really small like that...and i can go to paypal.com and just click and send the dough. Just tell who ever who sending the money to get a paypal account...they're free.
Peace

paypal totally f@cked me with their "buyer protection" program when i was a seller on e-bay.
I've heard a lot of bad stuff about PayPal. I haven't got burned yet. I just use it for EBay purchases and I don't leave any money in their account.
wait until you get a product that is not "not as described or damaged". fill out the form for your money back and youll get an email that says they dont guarantee the quality of the products sorry. Tell them you got a box of rocks instead of the product if its damaged or bad condition. trust me i have been raped by them. I am in the process of raping them back. Trust me i know the way too.
