    Why don't you just withdraw the $$ to your bank account?

    BTW your statement is not correct that in xoom you can't send money to yourself. Other DP members doing this since long time including me (used this 1 or 2 times) ;)

    All you have to do is select bank transfer or check delivery as an option (cash pickup is not allowed) for this.

    DON.

    Is there something fishy going on with your bank account that you do not want to use that option ?

    Issue a withdrawal via check and cash it out, you can withdraw up to $500 a month. If you really need a direct transfer, try to find a trustworthy guy who can broker funds.

    If you plan to do this, make sure you do it in the quiet and do not let anyone knows about it. Also note the risk involved because money exchanges is explicitly prohibited by paypal and both your accounts can get limited because of this.

    You can withdraw your funds to direct your bank account after adding your bank no. to paypal account.
