PeelPee, >(me says) BOLLOCKS ON THE TECHNICALITY, and please >reread where I >mentioned the part about TRUST! In retrospect, the method is probably >unsuited for sticklers and worrywarts. >e-gold DOES rock! ....... cheers! Yes, I agree, e-gold does rock! Unfortunately, I cannot agree on the "Bullocks on the technicality" part. As a merchant, I am constantly facing risks when it comes to accepting credit card payments. There is SOOO much fraud out there when scum bags and crooks use cards to buy items, then "chargeback" the sale (keeping the items) or claim they never authorized the transaction (again, keeping the items) to have it removed from their bill. Trust does go along way in this world (or, should I say USED to go along way in this world!). It is unfortunate that our payment systems have had to go to such extremes to create a system like e-gold, which negates the trust factor as e-gold payments are always good and non-reputable. Like it or not, e-gold fills a void that has been created by the loss of that basic characteristic-- TRUST. As a merchant, I prefer to accept e-gold because I have learned (the hard way!) that I cannot always trust the endorser. I am sure there are many other merchants out there who can tell you many horror stories about such incidents with their own businesses. It is too bad that e-gold does not have a debit or credit card directly attached to their accounts. However, a great new company called Standard Reserve DOES have that deficiency covered. IF you would like to sign up for a Standard Reserve account that DOES have a debit card attached to it, I can help you with this! (As well as Graham Kelly's GoldNow company. We are both Agents for Standard Reserve now!) Best of luck with your on-line ventures!

Much the same as it is a "rule breaker" as a merchant to process the charges of a third party merchant on your own credit card terminal. Your friend, in buying FOR you on his credit card, then seeking re-imbursement from you with e-gold, could later claim he did not receive the goods or services he paid for with HIS card and attempt to "chargeback" his purchase. --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: archive@jab.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
