Payments Services
Payment systems – methods, fees and what to use
Loosing a project by a service provider due to inability of receiving payments via fast and global means of money transfer is not uncommon. There are various types of payment methods, but not all of them are applicable in all countries. There is a difference in commission charges among them too.
Here is a list of some common payment methods which are preferred by most:
Moneybookers – being for paypal
Moneybookers is an online payment tool a UK-based service similar with PayPal (and a payment gateway for merchants) with a lot of customers and which was best described as “being for Paypal what Linux is for Windows“. It is very simple to use, has decent API and has a lot of corresponding banks in over 30 countries, making the transactions cheaper and faster.
e-gold® Founder Denies Criminal Charges
( taken from e-gold site )
On April 24, 2007, a Federal Grand Jury handed down an indictment charging e-gold Ltd., Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc., and the Directors of both companies with money laundering, operating an unlicensed money transmitter business, and conspiracies to commit both offenses.
Dr. Douglas Jackson, Chairman and Founder of e-gold, speaking on behalf of his fellow Directors and both companies vigorously denies the charges, taking particular exception to the allegations that either company ever turned a blind eye to payments for child pornography or for the sale of stolen identity and credit card information.
E-gold trubles again . It’s only matter of time.
Well, a lot of us knew it was coming… With all the rumours flying around about EGold Ltd; Gold & Silver Reserve, Inc, people knew deep down that something must be happening. Today E-Gold’s Owners: Dr Douglas L. Jackson, Reid A. Jackson and Barry K. Downing have been indicted for money laundering and illegal money transmitting. However, this sounds a lot worse than it actually is. The definition of Indict is: (of a grand jury) to bring a formal accusation against, as a means of bringing to trial. So basically the government has made an accusation against e-gold which they feel confident enough with to make it ‘formal’. This is one of the many ways of forcing a trial.
