I don't know much about India, but as a neighbor who’s living close to India, I came to know that the Reserve Bank of India has recently cautioned Business community not to accept e-gold. Please read – http://www.helplinelaw.com/news/1002/d_rbi1002.php And also - http://www.blonnet.com/iw/2002/10/27/stories/2002102700991000.htm Since you’ve mentioned about sending national currencies to exchange providers to buy e-gold, in my case I use my credit card. It’s the only way for me to buy e-gold since we have a tighter exchange control laws in my country, (Sri Lanka) and my card is billed in USD, which is bit expensive. (USD 1.00 = SLRs.100.00) Banks need some kind of a written proof before sending a wire transfer in foreign currency!! So wire transfers are not an option for me. So far I’ve yet to find another Sri Lankan who has even a slight knowledge about e-gold! E-Gold has much to do in this part of the world. Talking about inefficiency, I’m still waiting for my order, which I put in Saturday with Graham, although I’m one of their “Preferred Customer” ;-) -Manoj- p/w "" --- You are currently subscribed to e-gold-list as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Use e-gold's Secure Randomized Keyboard (SRK) when accessing your e-gold account(s) via the web and shopping cart interfaces to help thwart keystroke loggers and common viruses.
