Most of the E-Gold accepting sites are "Fly By Night" opereations.
They use it just because ALL TRASNACTIONS ARE FINAL.

I had a couple hundred $ scammed out of my e-gold account a couple years ago. Got a Trojan keylogger on my machine and they emptied my account. Tracked the IP address to the Eastern block country. They bounced the transaction of a couple different funding sites...
All e-gold could do was lodge a complaint...wow that's really going to help!
Beware..if you have to use E-Gold to complete a transacion, maybe you really don't need the money in the first place...
My 2 cent...
