I can't see a big problem with accepting personal cheques. You just don't give out the gold until the cheque clears (3 days in UK). There are even ways of clearing cheques instantly if you want to pay extra. If you look at it that way, it's a 100% secure method of payment. I think the problem is more that there are no UK based MMs, therefore most MMs will incur international bank charges and mailing delays etc clearing such cheques. Credit cards on the other hand are a different issue as they carry a VERY substantial fraud risk. offshoresurfer ----- Original Message ----- From: Viking Coder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: e-gold Discussion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 12, 2001 3:37 AM Subject: [e-gold-list] Re: E-Gold->UK exchange? > > Dealers do not seem to want to accept GB personal cheques or credit cards > > It is not just GB personal checks or credit cards that MMs don't want. > Most would prefer to not have anything to do with any personal checks or > credit cards.
