Is anyone experiencing problems with xoom?

Been trying to send some money since yesterday, through paypal.
Everytime I go through the procedure, it comes up with

"Your payment source is not valid in our system". ???

Never had a problem before, :censored: frustrating! :Brick:

Check if your card on record with paypal has expired.

Happened to me once, and soon sorted out:xxgrinning--00xx3:

Actually, I'm still having issues with xoom. They wont accept my credit card too.
I've always sung their praise, but I'm starting to change my mind. :NoNo:

The credit card was just another option...Nothing is working for me???

Will have to go down the BDO route I think...Thanks for that Dave. :)

If your in it for the long haul with regard to sending money to Phils, then it's definitely worth setting up a PNB online remmitance account. As others on here have said before, it's not that easy to set up because you have to send proof of ID etc, but once you've done it, it's fast, cheap and simple to use.

Thanks Iain, will do this.

I actually managed to make a payment today, with my credit card.
Then promptly got an e-mail to say it had been cancelled. :cwm23:

Ive been through my bank, checked all my paypal details & everything is ok.

xoom can go :censored: themselves!!!

Seems a lot of people have had trouble with xoom......I would never use them again had terrible service from them.
They said they hadn't received my payment from paypal, when they clearly had.
A woman from xoom phoned me from San Francisco.....she said could she phone me back in an hour.....i'm still waiting now for her to call? :Erm: :NoNo::NoNo:
