    Got an email from Xoom with that notice today. This came as a big blow to me. What other alternatives do you persons who often rely on Xoom will use from now on?


    Sorry for the error in the title. Should read: Xoom discontinues Paypal Money Transfer as of the March 24

    Yup, there goes my quick withdrawal method. Paypal is so slow in introducing bank deposits to certain countries. Getting a cheque withdraw takes forever too. There must be some trusted Xoom alternatives out there.

    Too bad for those who are dependent for people who uses paypal for xoom. but they can still pay someone through paypal and use their credit card or debit card to send money.

    Nothing will happen if xoom.com doesn't accept paypal because paypal is allowing us to withdraw money to our bank directly.
