why e-Gold is more popular then PayPal?
well actualy its not more popular then payPal, it's just that people who earn money with PTRE and PTC programs like to get paid by e-gold:
because of one reason which 'BigBoss' have said.
and coz of another reason: you don't need to have a credit card in order to gain full access to features.
(with PayPal, you have to give a valid CC and a Bank account details in order to be able to get payments)
hope that made some things clear
