It's not a functioning payment system anymore, all the exchangers have left because even they can't do business with e-gold, and without exchangers, the system is dead. Oh, and good luck getting physical delivery of your gold from them - nobody has.

It has taken on a more aggresive offensive toward companies and individuals who store funds in overseas accounts for any reason at all. I went through the same issues my E-Gold account before I finally found out what the problem was. Even though I have answered al questions and provided all of the necessary documents my account remains locked although the account status shows it is not. I have sent several emails to E-Gold with no response. PayPal along with many other companies who deal with worldwide money exchange have fallen victim to the Homeland Security Act.

The same thing happened to me as far as requiring a valid photo id, social security card, and proof of address.... I submitted all three of these documents and those f*$^#rs decided to permanently lock my account anyways. Same thing happened to my girlfriend as well. Paypal is horrible.

I was researching PayPal alternatives and found that I can use ProPay on eBay, but as I went to sign up, I found that eBay locked my account until PayPal gets what they want. So actually there is no alternative to PayPal because if you don't agree with what they want, they will lock your entire business, eBay and all. Maybe you haven't had issues with PayPal. Maybe you don't care about giving your personal information to the world risking identity theft and a potentially totalitarian state. But I assure you, eventually they will lock your account too and ask for the same private information. PayPal does not even have a brick and mortar building for me to walk into, why in the world is my photo id necessary? Oh yeah, and today the representative called PayPal a "financial institution" "“ F that, in my eyes they are just a WEBSITE, not a BANK.

After jumping through major hoops with them. They authorized a payment on a paypal account with NO funds. I'm pretty much through with them as you are. In my personal account all monies go out as soon as received. Transferred to much safer BOA. I'll never do real business with the EBAY companies. I posted not long ago about StumbleUpon being an ebay company (I must have been in a black hole when that happened) At anyrate....Paypal blows, Ebay companies by and large are the pits.

There fees are cheaper to especially on larger payments (2% + $0.20 per transaction) eBay won't ever get on board, but oh well.

But they have the most customers and they are easy to use (when they don't lock your money up), so that's why people use them. As for me, I just will never keep more than a few bucks in my account there! Yea, they suck.
