Need help with Xoom India

    I am planning to withdraw Paypal funds through Xoom. Is it advisable?
    I went through their site and noticed that they charge $8 per transaction.
    That is not a problem if the transaction is fast enough and secure.

    Did any one try it?
    How long do pick up transaction take in India?
    They say that it is within 24 hours but is it? Is there any problem doing this?

    You can even suggest any alternative methods if youll know. Ill check them out too.

    Please dont suggest me DP cos i will be doing that deal after few days not right now.

    You are right. Xoom charges $8 for transfer equal to $500 and $15 for transfer more than $500 and equal to $1000. If you want to transfer it from indian paypal account to india then you have only two option (cheque withdrawal or bank deposit). Pick up facility not available for india to india. Xoom transfer funds quickly (bank deposit within 3-4 days and cheque delivery within 4-5 days).

    Well, the very first transaction will take 4-5 days but thereafter, all transactions will take 2 days max.

    Hope this helps.

    Mate,

    You should have an account which should be a Non-Indian Account for you to send money to an Indian Account.

    Now most may not agree with me but you need to have the sender's account non-Indian. I have seen plenty of people actually being able to send the payment but i believe there is trick behind this which can be revealed by them.

    Regarding the time. First transaction will take 7 days(max) and hence forth if your sending from the same account to the same account then it will be quick as they don't need to verify the same address again and again.

    Oh! I thought this was the first time and the previous code has expired :p Sorry My Bad. Just came across this while googling, is that you can use all 3 once, or you can use any one only once ?

    I never knew that they had cuppons too. By the way any idea about the Instant Cash points or centers. I got 9 such centers in state. Will they allow pick up there. Or do they provide more support or info there?

    Well xoom has become more stringent with coupons now.
    No coupons available now.

    Use the affiliate style to narrow down your costs else there is still a small secret.

    I don't want to divulge it right now, will dent the Indian economy.
    So pls don't ask me about it.
