    Hello people around the world.

    I am doing a research study here. I am trying to find out how many people use e-gold and what country is it most common in; as it is not very common in the USA.

    Any opinions about egold are welcome.

    Thanks! :D

    I don't use e-gold but some of my friends use it as people used to pay via e-gold in past times and even if they pay via paypal they used to give second priority to e-gold but now a days i think so not much people are using it as i see some topics going around here in this forum about e-gold ... Being a Pakistani i can say that still people are using it here and specially those having old accounts

    No longer used, but will used if there is really no other alternative payment processor. It has quite a few negative publicity recently. I am waiting for them to consolidate and improve before starting to use them again.

    I am still using it and actively buy EG with my Paypal. But, in Hong Kong, it is not that popular.

    Never tried this before..Just use Moneybookers & paypal
    Yup.Paypal looks more popular than e-gold.
    I think Moneybookers also good. Have you tried it ?

    I have never used eGold. I have been with Paypal since they first started and I have never had a problem. they are also the most popular so it is easy to do business.

    I'm seeing a lot of positive talk about moneybookers and in other threads. I see a lot of deals made too. Nice!

    Ill definitely have to look into that tonight.

    I have used e-gold before and I think people mostly using e-gold are those countries that have no paypal or cannot accept paypal payments. So most of which are in Asia or in the middle east countries.
