Don't get me wrong, I'm not necessarily endorsing PayPal and their operating
policies and procedures. I'd venture to say that 99.9% of PayPal account
holders have no idea what's in all that fine print. Nor do they care.

I'm merely acknowledging that it's all about mass marketing, and PayPal's
marketing campaigns have been VERY effective (for them at least).

 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?

 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.

 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.

The e-gold system is designed to be absolutely free of any financial
risk.  There can be no debt or contingent liabilities associated with
e-gold.  For this reason, e-gold Ltd. does not possess any national
currency of any nation and has no bank accounts.  Thus, e-gold Ltd. is
not able to offer currency exchange services. Instead, a growing number
of independent exchange market makers
[http://www.e-gold.com/unsecure/links.htm] around the world support
exchange between various national currencies and e-gold, accepting
remittances via credit card, bank wire, check, money order, Western
Union, PayPal, eMoneyMail, and others.

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."

Is anyone else having EXTREME difficulty logging on the e-gold website

unplanned?

Guys,

How about we all sell something on eBay, with the objective of accepting
e-gold payments? e-gold is well thought of in the market place... how
about we really start promoting it? As I have said before, e-gold is
a tiger, and we have it by the tail. Sooner or later, world markets will
get a shock when they discover the worlds best kept secret called e-gold!
Charles, for Gods sake, I want some shares...

There are 343 listed items, accepting e-gold payments, for sale on eBay.
Out of 1.7 MILLION items! These are mostly from about 5 sellers! What
would happen if we ALL sell something...

Jim, you lead the way, and put up some of those gold  platinum coins
you are hoarding away! You might even make a BIG profit! (I assume you
guys are interested in making a profit?)

Go for it! Find some stuff in the house you don't need, and offer it
for sale, with e-gold as a payment option. Or go find a supplier, keen
to sell his products, and who knows... you might even find yourself in
a NEW business... and God FORBID, you might become self employed, and
have to give up the dumb 9-5 JOB you have lumbered yourself with for
the last 19 years. (When I did this, even my SEX life improved!!! )

My ad;

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=446790016

Make me an offer that I CAN'T refuse.

Cheers!
