[e-gold-list] Re: there you go Michael Moore!
George Matyjewicz wrote: . . . Let's assume that we have every merchant in the world accepting gold. Why would a consumer want to buy gold at 9-15% to purchase from merchants when they could use their credit card, and, if paid timely, incur no fees? If not paid timely they get a loan. They can get gold for less (6.5%) at http://www.gold-age.net/ Plus there are others that offer good rates as well, depending upon the amount purchased. Plus, another thing to consider -- you can currently purchase e-gold at premiums ranging from 2.75% to 15% depending upon payment method and amount purchased. On average, the cost (all costs, percentage take, transaction fee, gateway fees, bank fees, etc) to a merchant accepting CC's as payment averages about 6% (in some industries, and for some specific businesses, its as low as 2% and for some it's as high as 20% -- I know, I did my shopping), and he must increase all his prices by at least this amount no matter if the customer pays cash or uses credit card; because it is illegal in most countries for the merchant to do otherwise and merchant CC contracts have this stipulation as well (this was not always the case -- in the fledling years of the CC-industry merchants used to have different prices for different payment methods. This was hurting the growth of the credit card industry, so they lobbied congress in the U.S. and put a stop to it, plus added clauses to their contracts to forbid and did other nasties in other countries to make sure similar policies were enforced). So in reality, if merchant accepts e-gold and does not take CC's as payment, therefore being able to offer lower prices, and a customer uses e-gold (or the others that are springing up) to purchase from this merchant the customer's total cost (including the cost of exchanging fiat currency for e-gold) of the goods or service is really no more than it would have been otherwise, and may often be less. Another benefit of the gold economy is that there's far less hassle and paperwork than with credit cards -- another cost savings. . . . So, the gold economy is wonderful for the merchant, but not so good for the consumer. . . . So actually the gold-economy is great for both the merchant and the consumer.

[e-gold-list] TG, et al is Being Attended To
I usually only briefly scan the e-gold list and the Free-Market e-gold forum every other day or three and make postings only once in a while -- I just don't have time to do otherwise. However, a friend of mine said that there have been several postings I need to respond to he CC'd them to me. First, TG's orders were voided back in October, so there's no e-gold for me to credit because the credit card transactions were reversed a long time ago (notification was sent at the time). Below is a copy of a bulk E-mail being sent to relevant individuals, including TG (at this time I don't know if he's received it yet -- but in short, this person's remedy, as stated in the copy below, will most likely require that his institution issue a chargeback or otherwise get the money from the debiting institution) -- which brings me to another point . . . I have 1035 of these particular E-mails to send (they're still going, at this very second there's 212 to go). The SMTP connection with my ISP is quirky with anywhere from 5 sec to a little over a minute in delays between outgoing messages -- this time adds up. Plus there's a few thousand other messages to send out to other customers on other issues. On a slow day (that's day, not week) I have to sort through about 300 E-mails. On an average day I get about 3-4 thousand -- true, most of it is just junk that has slipped through my spam/junk filters, but since a lot of it bears the E-mail of past and current clients I must at least try to look to see if there's actual business at hand. If you do the math you realize I can't really even glance at all of them, I have to use a filter and search criteria to get to the business at hand. In addition to sorting through the mess caused by credit cards (taking PayPal credit cards was the worst business descision I ever made), sorting through E-mails, and conducting various research projects, I must keep the current order flow moving, -- which I have done very well. All-in-all, with the bulk of the credit card mess behind me, business is much more pleasureable and is becoming much more manageable -- I don't have to worry about waking up the next day to a notice saying that I'm out $250,000 or more due to credit card fraud. Also with upcomming improvements in the EZCmoney system I will be able to offer a level service second to none! Stay tuned, exciting developments are in the works. So to sum up, this person and others are not being ignored, but due to the volume that is being delt with, there are delays here and there, also these delays are exacerbated by people still trying to scam me on past credit card orders (both filled, unfilled, and nonexistant -- I'll spare you the details); which means I have to treat every one of the old credit card transactions as if it were coming from a known fellon.

EgoldXchange wrote: We are currently awaiting some communication from E-gold regarding some issues that have prevented us from launching our website and service directly, but hope to be introducing soon, a US Bank based, debit card+bank account that can be used for in and out exchanges of e-gold. The account can be opened online from anywhere in the world and setup is complete in less than 10 minutes. Costs will vary but will costs end users less than $30 to setup and open, including card and shipping. This is a tremendous opportunity for Market makers that can enhance their customer service by allowing them to provide a service that has been long sought, a low cost debit system for transfer of e-gold to debit card.

[e-gold-list] Re: Announcement of Individual exchangers
Vince Callaway wrote: . . . . . . . .Commerce involves exchanging goods or services for money. One problem with the way that market makers operate is the terminology they use. Most of them use wording such as "We only charge 5%". This gives the false impression that they are charging a commision for the act of exchanging fiat money for gold. If market makers where on the ball (hint hint) they would advertise an exchange rate. Something like "Exchange rate for US$ to E-Gold is $8.85 per gram". This is a money swap, not commerce. It is no different than walking into a bank and exchanging US$ for CAN$. There is nothing misleading when an e-gold exchange provider says he/she charges x% to convert national currency into e-gold. It's the simplest way to convey the fee and make sure all costs are covered, even in a fluctuating metals market. By expressing the exchange rate as x%, instead of x$/gram of e-metal a merchant doesn't have to worry about updating the price list and the customer also knows what to expect. An x% service fee is simply merchant "A's" fee to provide the _service_ of converting national currency (via some medium) to e-gold. This fee of course covers the cost of doing business, and gives a little extra to the merchant to put food on the table and a roof overhead. Nothing fancy, or misleading . . . simply straight forward business. And since money changing is a service, it falls under the definition of commerce kindly noted above. Also, at this stage of the game, it's _not_ the same as walking into a bank and exchanging U.S.$ for CAN$ -- though there is an analogy . . . far removed. The congruency though, if commodity backed electronic currencies survive and flurish, will emerge with time. PECB www.gold-age.net ** Parker E.C. BradleyE-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.E.C.B.
