eGold vs. Paypal!

clookid · 03-22-2007

Hey everyone,

eGold and Paypal are the two major payment processors out there! I would like to ask which you would prefer to use!

I myself, would much rather Paypal as you do not discover any hidden fees and it is much easier to use!

Kind regards,

I think Paypal still is used widely by most people and by that alone is a big criteria in itself. Add that it is hard to fund eGold unless you know someone who does exchanges and you got yourself a winner!

Paypal for sure !!
It is more used and it is much more easier to add funds as you dont have to worry about exchance.

It is a shame that there is no direct way to pay from Paypal to e-gold. You always have to exchance somehow....

If given a choice, I would definitely opt for paypal over egold.
It's much more convenient to fund your account and offers buyers some form of proctection.
Transactions are also free for paypal users with personal accounts.

Yes, it is certainly more difficult to get the money out of egold.
However, I would be very careful if I were you, because I think paypal does not allow online currency exchanges. My friend got into trouble with them for doing that some time ago. He had his paypal account frozen for 6 months.

Damn.
Well I need to pay someone but I guess he has to sign up for a paypal account then. I am not risking a freeze of my account.......

I personally would also prefer Paypal over e-Gold. I don't want my efunds to vary because of the price of gold in the market or something. And I also think that Paypal also offer a better service compared to e-Gold.

I also would like to note that it is harder to get a new password in eGold than in PayPal.. hehe

I like PayPal. Most of the people I work with have PayPal so it's easy to do business.

Not a single person has voted for eGold yet! I would also like to note the fact that eGold requires you to enter a turning number whilst you are signing in!
