I've used e-gold in the past, and because it's matched to the stock price of gold (hell, you can get the amount of gold - obviously in relatively large amounts - sent to you) I've actually made money with the balance just sitting there. Not only did the gains in gold wipe out the transaction fees (IIRC they're around the same as Paypal) but i made a fraction of what was in there as well.

The only problem with e-gold is transferring the money to your bank account, and you need to pay another transaction fee to a third party site to do this.

Stick with PP though - it works perfectly fine if you stick by the book.
