    HI Guys...

    I have got an email from XOOM that they have no more with Paypal


    After March 24, Xoom Will Not Accept PayPal As a Payment Method

    Dear Deepak Chand,

    After Wednesday, March 24, 2010, Xoom will not accept PayPal as a payment method
    for money transfers. Any PayPal-funded transactions that have been placed before that time
    will be processed as usual.

    We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change in our service may cause you.

    Other Payment Options

    You will still be able to pay for Xoom money transfers after March 24 by using a United States
    bank account, a debit card or a credit card. Using a United States bank account is an easy,
    secure and low cost way to send money with Xoom.

    Questions?

    If you have any questions or comments regarding this change, you can send us an email through
    our Help Center, or call our Customer Service team at 877-815-1531 (within the U.S.) or
    415-395-4225 (outside the U.S.). Our call center is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

    Sincerely,

    Xoom Customer Service Team

    This is really bad news! :(

    I was waiting for their Indian Bank withdrawal to begin... to initiate my withdrawal since they offered lot better exchange rate than Paypal. I guess I will now have to revert back to using good old paypal! :(

    Regards,

    I do not think they gave up intentionally... rather they must have been forced to do so!

    When Paypal was sorting out its issue with RBI, it must have realised the huge withdrawals from its accounts into Xoom for transfer to India. In order to protect their interest, they must have complained to RBI about this route, which resulted in this termination.. I guess! :mad: :(

    Regards,

    Hello, really I have the impression of which Paypal is preparing some strategic move.

    I do not believe that it has been a coincidence that 2Checkout has renewed his place at the same time that Paypal and Xoom have broken his dealing.

    Paypal was not gaining anything with his agreement with Xoom. But I believe that yes they win very much sending his most of clients to 2checkout.

    Xoom has always had a rather strange policy
