    xoom.com

    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, frustrating!

    Check if your card on record with paypal has expired.

    Happened to me once, and soon sorted out

    Thank you Dom
    I know you are the resident xoom expert.

    There appears to be a problem with my card. Need to speak to my bank tomorrow.

    Cheers!

    got fed up with them things a long time ago


    i got the better half to open an account at bdo bank then i got in touch with philippine remittance in london open an account with them

    i just go to barclays bank with one of philrems paying in slips it is then paid direct in to the bdo account via philrem over 15 yrs have never had any problems


    another way if you have a spare account here send her the atm card just put as much money in that account that is needed

    Exactly the same procedure with Farochilen rem Dave,and they give a higher exchange rate than the banks normally



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    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.

    You must have done something wrong somewhere...

    Do the card numbers in both, paypal and xoom correspond????

    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.

    Iain.

    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.

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

    xoom can go 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?

    I always used xoom either and never had a problem
    It's good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it's good to check up once in a while to make sure you haven't lost the things that money can't buy.
