Just one quick observation. In the USA, strangely enough, most people buy things using the US dollar. Why? Because a lot of sellers will accept it. So, it would follow, if sellers sold more things for the value of E-gold, it would not be a problem to have all or most of your money in E-gold. If you have E-gold, it is no problem spending it at the grocery store, as long as you have used it to load an offshore debit card.
The cheapest and fasted way that I have heard about to fund an E-gold account is with Money Gram. That is the way that I am encouraging people to use when they go to http://zauctionoffshore.com In fact, we have a link to Money Gram on our web-site along with some prefered Market Makers that take Money Gram. The reason for me suggesting Money Gram is that for about $5.95 you can send any amount of money up to $10,000.00 to anyone in the USA. It is slightly higher out-side the USA. Here is my reasoning. If I send $100.00 it has cost me almost 6%. Not too bad? If I sent $1,000.00 the cost is less than 1% at about .01% One might consider that this is a small fee charged for converting US dollars backed by nothing, into E-gold, backed by something. Now that is pretty good. You have paid a small fee to convert nothing to something. :-) You do have to leave your easy chair to go to the nearest Money Gram outlet so, you will want to convert as much as you can each trip. That way, you will only leave your easy chair for a small amount of health giving exercise, once a week. You might equate this with making a bank deposit. Just cut out the bank deposit trip and go to Money Gram instead. Now, if you had a offshore debit card, to make local purchases, and an E-gold account to buy stuff that will be sent to you in the mail, why would you need or want Pay Pal? What I would want is a way to buy more bargin stuff sent by mail. I wonder what that would be?
