Signing up for VWB

So I've got my account set up with tunneltrading.com as well as e-gold.com. I wasn't aware of this but it seems e-gold is only a pass-through - you don't actually fund the account with them directly.

If so, any recommendations on who to fund the account with from the people here who have done so? I'm simply looking for ease of use and reputation.

Thanks in advance!

I found Euro Gold Sales to be very good.

If they cannot find you in the phone book of your local area (!) they will ask for some ID, I just scanned a copy of utility bill and passport and sent in e-mail. Only took 24 hours from time they recieved $ wire from my bank and ID verification from me, for e-gold to be in my account.

Cheers.

For a number of reasons I won't elaborate here (I emailed vegas directly in his website) I'm not going to sign up.

Thanks anyway - you can ignore this thread.

Anybody got a simple way to buy e-gold like by credit card only ?
I just look through the exchangers, with have their own way of payment methods..
Vegas is really clever to use e-gold since it can filter out those not really interested as this process is troublesome.

i used betterxchangers.com , that way i could use paypal but they also offer other methods.

E-gold seems more complicated then it is.

Absolutely complicated. Out of listed ~16 exchangers, most are not suitable for me as

- Some only serve US, Canada but not for Asia (I come from Hong Kong)
- Even the Asian one not support Hong Kong
- A site even only have Frence, Itanlian and German as display language
- Ultra-high processing fee, one even charges me 33USD in addition to my 50USD (for one month subscription)
- Some sites have no idea of where to deposit.. no related link ?!
- A site require phone verification but my timezone is GMT+8..
- A site have min purchase requirement of 100USD
- A site is a forum rather than an exchanger
- Double registration for newbies (one for e-gold and some require registration at the exchanger one more time)
- There are 2 types of e-gold in some exchangers, beware, I cant figure out the difference as I have settled down in one of the exchangers without this difference

For all sites,
- The gold price is floating, I am not sure whether my deposit can cover 50USD equivalence of gold so I need to order 52-55USD
- No site support credit card, my bank wire cost me 13USD (local bank) and 5USD (receiving bank) ..totally 18USD out of 52-55USD, nearly 1/3 is processing fee, not to mention the 2-4% exchange fee by purchasing e-gold

I have spent 2 hours in finding the correct site with min overhead ! I am not complaining anything but I just want to share this interesting thing and point out that all those who subscribed to the PF are absolutely Vegas fans by going through this complicated process.

Sorry I have 2 more interesting points to share:

1. For my final pick, I need to search for a gram to ounce converter on the net because the site use gram as the unit.. ! Also I need to go to tunneltrading.com for simulating a payment to make sure how many ounce I need for the payment...

2. One of the sites require me to pay e-silver for registration purpose !! Hahaha... !! Assume that I am even a billionaire but I still cant pay you e-silver in the 1st time right.. I am looking for way to get my 1st gram of e-gold even though I have cash !!

Hi thomsonfx.

I would not recommend subscribing to the vegas service for anything less than a quarter (3 months), preferably a year. The signals may not come at all during the course of a month, and you can get the blogs a month late for no cost if your just interested in learning the systems.

Best Regards,
Ah.

Actually, those who signed up with Vegas through the PF avoided this mess until the end of the year. That gave them five full months to try out Vegas at no cost, and with no e-gold hassle.

Oh really ?! Yes I can login now ! Sorry I havent read all your posts in other threads. Thanks diallist !! Anyway I have already made the bank wire.

Haha.. yes, we can login but there are privileged features for members only.

Terrible ! My exchanger is so misleading !! The no of grams they offer to me is not yet included the bank wire fee at the receiving bank ! It charges certain grams for that fee.. ridiculous !!

Originally, I base on this information to calculate the required ounce: "if your payment were received right now, you would receive 0.5132 grams of e-gold at our current exchange rate 19.4861 USD/g."

As a result, I need to make another deposit to cover the remaining tiny amount of ounce with an additional bank wire at my end and at the receiving end.... around 15USD + 5USD............ and also wait for 2 more days ... sign

Indeed, the e-gold process is turning out to be a pain in the ass. Why cant I find a website where I can fund my e-gold account with a credit card?

The whole thing seems shady to me - seems like a way to avoid taxation or launder money....

I tend to agree regarding the payment method. I used goldage.net and within a week of processing my payment they were closed down and my e-gold account was frozen. I cannot say I am terribly impressed with the signals so far either. The blogs are ok but it’s nothing you can't learn on your own or with help from some of the folks here at the Factory, plus you can pick them up 4 weeks late for free. I think its fair to say, without violating any of the subscribers privacy, that the system traded is not the 1 hour tunnel nor the vwb daily methods that can be found elsewhere on this site. I also think its fair to say unless your comfortable with large stops (50-75 pips) this is not a service for you.

I don’t mean any disrespect to Vegas as he has been a very positive and helpful mentor here on Forex Factory; this is just my humble opinion.

Best Regards,
Ah.

Finally I made the 2nd deposit and proceeded to "subscribe", however, seems no new page is enabled for me inside tunneltrading.com after my e-gold account is charged. It always routes me to the "change password" page when I try to login to the "subscriber area". After I changed my password, it requests me to change my password again... Please help.. thanks... !

Im sure there may be but the majority wont as you probably know e-gold is non-refundable so its far too easy for someone to buy e-gold with a CC and then do a charge back/fraud and the e-gold supplier loses both the e-gold and the money paid by credit card.

Dear Vegas team,

I have subscribed tunneltrading with the e-gold deposit but I havent got the activation for over 48 hours. Please help to follow up.. Thank you !!
