Questions about Xoom and Paypal????????????? My questons is...... .. how long dose it take to take money out of my paypal account and send it my home mailing address?
It depends on which country you are in. It may take between 5 to 8 days. Withdrawal from your paypal account would be instant as it is treated just like any purchases. If you are from India then your only option is to have them send it directly into your bank account because of some central bank regulations.
As you said that you have US paypal account then i suggest you to add your US bank account details there in your paypal account and directly withdraw funds to your bank account. Its far better for you than requesting direct check from paypal or through xoom. Xoom is normally using by paypal members where online banking is not allowed by paypal.
If you want to pay extra fees then use Xoom.com , otherwise EFT transfers through Paypal is free, fast and safe. Besides you will need to add a bank account to verify your paypal account so this would be the painless option. Xoom.com does charge for their service and postage delivery may be prone to lost mails and so on. No reason to use Xoom when you have Paypal if you are in the US.
I need to send money directly to my home mailing adress. which service is faster to use. (Paypal or Xoom)???????
Use direct withdrawal from PayPal to your Bank Account. Its free. Xoom will charge you $8+ for the same.
I don't know how long it takes for a paypal check to reach your home in the US because it appears that no one uses paypal checks in the US in the first place. All uses EFT which is free and fast. Paypal check if I am not wrong would cost you money (I believe it is $5), slower and prone to error. Is there is reason why you cannot use EFT since I assumed you are already verified and your bank account would already be stated there. If you need the money into another bank account, you can add that in or just do an electronic transfer from your paypal linked account to the other.
@eddy2099 I am under the age of 18. My account is unverified and I dont have a bank account. Has anyone every tried or have any experience with withdrawing funds out of a paypal account by requesting a check from paypal?????
Well, then if that is the case, you are already in violation of user agreement you signed up with. In short, you lied about your age when you agreed that you are over the age of 18 years. If you were an adult, lying in your application can lead you to serious problems with the law. Just give up the account because if you violate the terms, your contract would be null and void and Paypal would have the rights to lock your account.
@eddy2099 The account is actually my fathers but he never ever never uses it. He set it up to buy an ebay item, but someone bid over him. He never used it again and took his credit card off of the paypal account. He gave me his username and password but the account is still under his name.
The thing is that no matter whether you use Paypal Check, Paypal EFT or Xoom, you will still need a bank account to deposit the check into. Have your dad add his bank account to his paypal account and then just do the EFT. By the User Agreement, he is not allowed to share his paypal account with you.
