i would just like to say that i recently started a e-gold account. after reading about everything that people had to say i thought maybe it wasnt such a good idea. i had no probs at all and it was acctually very cost effective. i will continue to use it and encourage others to try it before you take the word of others. i personly used tampaexchange to fund the account, sent a money order and the account was funded within 4 days. just thought this might be usefull info.
