[e-gold-list] e-gold down again?

2000-09-27 Thread Michael Moore



Is it my imaginationis e-gold down 
again?

It is difficult to promote a siteto a client 
and the client goes to it only to find it is down.

The client then comes back to me and 
says


"what e-gold?"


More to the point...when will it be 
up?




Kind regards,

Dear Valued Customer,

Between 09/01/2000 and today (09/26/2000) you placed an order with
Gold-Age. If your order was approved and your credit card billed, something
similar to the following may show up on your credit card statement
transaction description.

"Gold-Age, LLC: Dating/Escort Services"

This is obviously  incorrect!!!   It should read something like:

"Gold-Age, LLC: Precious Metals, coins, etc."  or some similar phrase
indicating that we deal in precious metals.

What happened is that our credit card processor  put the wrong business
description codes into the credit card networks when they set up our
account. The error has been corrected and any future CC-statements should
have the correct business description on them.

Thank you for your time, and thank you for using Gold-Age.

[e-gold-list] Dissapointed...

2000-09-27 Thread Eric Gaither

Parker,

   Does this mean the date I requested with Miss Sweden is off?  I just 
finished pressing my tuxedo, waxing my car, and I have been doing sit-ups 
for THREE WEEKS to look great!  *Sigh*!  You win some...you lose some... ;0)

Back to the drawing board!

 Eric

p.s.  This remark is, of course, a lighthearted attempt to bring a smile 
from those of us who have our own horror stories from dealing with the 
seemingly incompetent processing companies!  No offense, or direct 
accusation that Gold Age runs a dating service, was intended!

[e-gold-list] Re: C'mon guys! OR how to improve your SEX life

2000-09-27 Thread Larry Hoffenberg

Hello all from a long-time lurker,

I've sold over 100 items on eBay over the last 6 months. I've prominently
displayed the e-gold payment option in each auction listing, along with
Billpoint, PayPal and a couple of PayPal clones. I've yet to have a single
customer pay for an auction via e-gold or even ask what it's all about.

A sure-fire but expensive method to get e-gold more widely accepted is the
PayPal model: offer a $5 sign up bonus for new accounts, as well as $5 to
the referrer.

 Well my son has been selling cards for months with e-gold offered
 as a payment method... Not too much success for now. But he is
 accumulating email address of the eBay customers he does
 business with... The goal is to start promoting before long.

 As you said, "e-gold is a tiger, and we have it by the tail."

The only way they can do that is because they earn interest on the float,
not to mention freezing everyone's account so they can't withdraw anything.
e-gold doesn't earn interest on anything.  The only profit e-gold makes is
selling the gold for more than they buy it, and a small storage fee.

2000-09-27 Thread Sam Mc Kee

The part about freezing everyone's account is the real problem. When they 
froze my account they refused even to say why it had been frozen (it was 
frozen at a time when I had not had a single transaction in many weeks and 
therefore had no transactions to dispute, but when I wanted to withdraw 
funds it suddenly became a "disputed" account). After a couple of days I 
received a message saying that the "dispute" had been resolved--but not 
saying what the imaginary dispute was--and that my account was unfrozen. 
The mind boggles.

PayPal can get away with this because, well, uh, I have no idea why they 
can get away with this. It lost them my business, but obviously other 
people still use them.

If E-Gold couldn't really make good on its obligations and randomly froze 
accounts to hide the fact they'd go belly-up in no time. Maybe E-Golders 
are just smarter!

Now what's this about how to improve my sex life?
