>Please explain how to do this in "a very short period of time";

Explanation may be somewhat dated, but when I opened my egold
account - I used goldfingercoin and was funded in less than a day.

Was not true a while back - I used a credit card. Verified by phone in about an hour.
Never left the comfort of my chair. :)

Granted - this was quite some time ago - when E-Gold was first starting up, but
the process is not painful and the added fraud security many exchangers have
implemented is a welcome sight - to keep them in business and allow us to
be able to make the necessary deposits and other transfers.

I would venture to say that a person could open and fund an E-Gold account
in less than 48 hours without any difficulty or heartache.
On the other hand - PayPal takes days to verify your bank account with their
deposit verification scheme they use - took 5 days for the pennies to show
up and then I had to go back and verify the amounts.

Now that all the initial set ups are over all is well and both have proved to be
useful in certain situations - many folks do not use E-Gold for auctions but
accept PayPal - many do not accept PayPal but use E-Gold exclusively.
I hapen to accept both for my web hosting business :)
Both systems have merits.
One of which I use extensively is the PayPal debit card - works like a dream
and pays cash back just like Discover but with no annual fees :)

Just a users 2 cents worth.
