Title: Turning e-gold into real cash
Post by: Jack Hoff on January 29, 2007, 09:56:39 PM
Quit playing rs recently, and since no one wants to sell me real stuff for my gp, I might just sell my mils for e-gold.

The plan is to get an e-gold account, but I have no idea how to get ahold of the real cash afterwards.

Has anyone had any experience with this kinda thing? If possible, maybe i could transfer to a paypal account or a credit card?

And does anyone know a website that is reputable to change from e-gold to currency?

Why use E-Gold?  Pay Pal would be easier from my experiances,  Sell your Mils through pay pal, then withdraw your pay pal balence into your bank or buy something off ebay with it.  i've never used E-gold...

You can chargeback with paypal, its just a bigger pain in the butt to actually keep the cash I get.

And there is no foolproof way to prevent chargebacks on non-tangible items, no matter what people say,

I don't want a negative balance on my paypal years after I sold gp for cash.

there is no EASY way...basically anything to do with real USD is impossible to be 100% sure of being safe

u basically only have 2 options:

sell for e-gold and let it rot in an e-gold account

or sell for paypal and take the chances (ALWAYS use an MM...ill be heppy to MM for you)

I've been researching ways to get e-gold into USD, and its not impossible.

There are certain sites that have 3rd party user feedback, and the exchange people seem to have a good rep there.

With the more reputable sites, the fees are a little steeper, but at least I don't rely on blind faith that people won't chargeback.

err maybe give the e-gold money to an elite MM and then have him send it to your pay-pal account...

Nah, even if I lose a buncha cash exchanging the e-gold to USD, I'd feel much safer doing it myself.

Nty, rs trades and paypal don't ever work out.

And it costs me a spend fee when I send it to someone else, so why would I want to lose money on a trade?

i guess if your willing to lose some of your money then using a 3rd party site would be OK...but what i was saying is that there is no way to be 100% safe WHILE KEEPING ALL YOUR MONEY
