How do I spend e-gold?

There are nearly a million e-gold account holders, so there are about a million answers. You can spend e-gold anywhere that it is accepted. About thirty thousand merchants currently accept e-gold, and so do many non-profit groups.

You can also spend directly to an individual or business which has an e-gold account but no web page shopping cart. Simply log into your e-gold account. Click on the icon marked "spend." You'll be asked to enter the number of the e-gold account to which you want to make the transfer, the amount you want to transfer as expressed by weight of gold or in your favorite currency, and the type of metal you want to transfer (gold, silver, platinum, palladium). Once the form is correctly filled out, hit the "preview" button to see what the transfer should look like (name of e-gold account your are going to make a spend will be shown at this page). If you don't have enough metal to make the transfer, e-gold.com will warn you of this difficulty. If you do have enough gold, the details of the transfer will show up on the preview screen. Review them! When you are very sure the details are just what you want, confirm the transfer by clicking on "confirm."
