What is e-gold?
e-gold is an electronic currency created and used to ensure that the worldwide value of money used online is backed by gold, and thus, not affected by national currency fluctuations. So when you purchase, send, or sell e-gold, you are actually exchanging the solid weight of gold at current gold prices. This allows users worldwide to ensure they are receiving the correct price for the good or service being received or sold. For example, if a Canadian purchases something for $100 USD in e-gold from an American, he can pay in his national currency (CHF 685.88 worth of e-gold), still retaining the value of the money.
Benefits of e-gold
e-gold has many benefits, giving it an edge over other US-”preferred” payment processors like Paypal:
-Free to spend, and fees to receive are minimal.
-Sent instantly, no matter how large the payment.
-No credit check, no fee, and no minimum balance to signup.
-E-Commerce tools are widely available.
-Earn money by referring friends or customers.

Buying e-gold
To buy e-gold, you need to go through an independent exchanger. Companies charge a small fee for selling you their e-gold for your national currency. There are several ways to buy e-gold, and several exchangers to choose from. Common purchasing methods are wire transfers and manual bank deposits. Credit cards are also accepted at certain exchangers. My recommendations would include GoldEx, FastGold, any “gold”-rated exchanger from GDCA online’s list, or any exchanger on e-gold’s list.
Selling e-gold
To convert your e-gold back into your national currency, any of the independent exchange services on this list or from GDCA online would be apt. GoldEx is also a very popular, “gold”-rated exchanger. Exchangers will likely take a service fee, usually a percentage plus a flat fee, from your withdrawl. Credentials to verify your identity may be required.
e-gold Security
e-gold, encrypted with 128-bit SSL, has several security measures to protect you from having your account hacked and money stolen. The easiest thing to do is use e-gold’s SRK to input your password. This protects you from keyloggers which may be monitoring your keyboard strokes. Upon logging in, review e-gold’s Account Sentinel which detects changes in your IP address and browser header, allowing or preventing your login depending on how strict your settings are. There is also a home/work feature which remembers your two common locations for accessing your account.
