Hey im new to egold just started using it, say i get a payment in egold how do i/how long does it take to transfer it to one of my bank accounts? Any help is grateful. thanks
You can not directly withdraw your E_Gold, you will need a third party exchanger to do it. You can try omnipay.com for outexchanges because they are owned by same people who own e-gold.
how much do they charge? is that the only way to get the e gold balance into real cash in my bank account??
Omnipay is not the only way. There are number of websites which will help you like icegold.com, cambist.net etc but since they are not associated with E-Gold, therefore there is always a risk. There are many people too who will buy your E-Gold for paypal or western union, but there is also lots of scam risk. The only trusted way IMO is Omnipay.com You can check fees details on their website..
Also you can use some online debit card like VMI to withdraw your funds. www.virtualmoneyinc.com (Main site) Regards
It really depends in which country you are, If in India, I can tell you a faithful exchanges I have been using from past 1 and half year without any problem.. PM me for details
Omnipay is actually down until june 18th, and most of those exchangers listed in this thread are all no-longer exchanging e-gold due to frozen accounts.
