There are definitely lots of details like that to take into consideration. That could be a nice point to bring up.

Do not use Xoom. They have some problems.
As others, same thing happened to me. They cancelled all my “send money” transactions. I called them and they give no definite answer. They said they would email me after investigation, but I am still waiting. They definitely wasted my time and caused frustrations for me and to the person I was trying to send the money to. Learn from my bad experience. Do not let it happen to you.

[...] Before Paypal officially supported bank withdrawals in the Philippines, Xoom was the easiest and most effective way of getting funds from Paypal accounts. [...]

maybe na reach mo ung limit amount..
sometimes kc may mga limit amounts to send sila… haven’t you checked that before?
if so, you can update your information to upgrade your limitation dun sa profile mismo ng paypal mo…
hope this help you.

It is simple.. Apply for EON Debit card at UnionBank…

prepare 250Php for the EON Card @ UnionBank and deposit 100Php for the Paypal connection.

Once you have the card, update your information @ Paypal using you EON Card number (account #).

2 variation steps if you like to withdraw the money right away, use Xoom or Withdraw it to your UnionBank Debit ATM (EON Card).

Not to disappoint y’all but i hate the “Fee” where Xoom less to your per transaction. (if paypal less you like 25$, and send money to Xoom they will less you depend on your amount too. medyo sayang yung ibang pinapadala mo.)

then i use my Debit Card for my withdrawal.. less fee and no need to worry about the per transaction fee from PayPal to UnionBank.

if you have question, email me.. i have already experienced this type of situation.

I was planning to use Xoom to send my money out of my paypal, but I was quite disappointed on the recent comments above about the failure of xoom. Same problem with Aubrey (Unverified Paypal accounts).

Regret that there is not a ‘cheap’ way to send money to people in the Phillipines. Would have liked to send small amonts to my god-daughter for her birthday and for Christmas. As a OAP can only afford £15-£20 twice yearly but found that your ‘greedy’ banks grabed 90% in transaction fees & poor ForEx rates so the little girl got less than £1 to £1.50

Yet can send similar small gift sums to my god-children & grandchildren in the US and within the EU for ‘zilch’……using PayPal. Suspect the blame lies with the major local Banks and the control they exercise over the government etc. It’s my belief that this attitude is harming the whole of your country’s economey……though the small but active local internet ‘fraudsters’ and ‘hackers’ have also adversley effected the country.

Xoom sucks….as the same thing happened to me. They cancelled all my “send money” transactions. They give no definite answer – only vague automated ones.

sir abraham loandres i’m a second-year high school student from san sebastian college-recoletos de manila. i would just like to ask if i can open up a paypal account using a bpi savings account? just like what you said we can now open up a paypal account using a local bank accounts.

People!!!!! what the heck is wrong with you…Aren’t you familiar with any other stuff sending money sa Pinas??? Xoom is not just the options. Put your ass online sometimes and do some shopping.. I used wells fargo Bank.Global remittance to be pick up In BPI. I loved it!!! it’s easy fast and they will have the money I sent right away and by the way the cheapest fee on earth its $2.50 . Minimum money you can send is $5,000.00 . Now How cool is that?

Now I send $400 thru my verified paypal money using my mothers name here in the Phil also(I use my mothers name because i found some information that xoom will cancel your transaction if you send money using your own name) but I use same address in my xoom account. After a few minutes I check my xoom transaction and it was cancelled without knowing what is the problem, because I have a verified paypal account. I already email their customer support. But until now I didn’t receive there reply. So what I am gonna do now? Anyone experienced same as my situation? Is your xoom transaction success or not? pls. send me your reply. Thanks..

When you send money via Xoom does the receiver see the senders details eg address details etc or are the kept private?

Thanks

I`ve been using Xoom for the last year, once a month, to send money to my wifes relatives in philippines. Has has never taken more than one hour from order is placed until its ready for pickup. Average time is 15 minutes.
For mus, xoom works great.

Ok, i have my different story here, with unsuccessful transaction by sending money using xoom from my paypal account.

i send 300$ from my Paypal account to Xoom. but few hours Xoom cancelled it but it is already deducted to my paypal balance.

the problem i am facing right now is, will Xoom refund my money worth 300$? though i their customer service reply “Thank you for contacting Xoom Customer Support regarding your recently cancelled money transfer transaction. Based upon transaction records, the transfer was cancelled under verification process. Thus, the funds were not withdrawn from account. The funds may be on temporary hold due to authorization debit and the same should be refunded back to you within 3-4 business days. You can contact your original fund issuing source for the same.”

thanks for any open suggestions and help.

I have the same problem with Lovehatetragedy.I also sent the money to myself only to find out that my request is cancelled with no further details.I was shocked because I’ve trusted the site due to some nice information. I really wanted to refund my paypal earnings.
