Paypal is better, Because it is most popular service, I think you should trade real money for paypal money with someone who need money for paypal.

I don't know about xoom either but the point is there aren't many people using xoom so its actually pointless to go with xoom.

I also do not know how to use paypal yet. Well im quite new in using this "internet banks". I have not heard about xoom either so i think it may be a good idea to use it.

I have never used xoom might have to look into that. Paypal is driving me insane as of late they decided to make my account limited and I did allthe stuff and it is still taking them so long to grant me full.

I think both are different things.
XOOM have paypal integrated with them

Please learn both PP first..

I think that Paypal is the best as it is quite secure and also have a huge user base.If you are having problem with Paypal then you can go with Moneybookers which is a good alternative to paypal according to me.

Xoom is more of a remittance service provider. Paypal is a payment processor for the ecommerce industry. To transfer Paypal funds to your beneficiary, you can use Xoom . Funds can be picked up in your designated local bank or can be deposited directly to your account.

I would stick to paypal it might be a safer choice to go with being that xoom is not as big as paypal just to stay safe after all it is your money we talking about ..

Both are best in their own things, they both are different. You can save your earnings with the Paypal. And when you want you want to receive the money or want to transact the money to your indian bank account you can use the XOOM services.

For quite sometime now i have been using a toolbar called Billeo to pay my bills online. I find it very useful as it gives me payment reminders and allows me to view expense reports. I find it enormously important as i can make sure I don’t overspend and ideally, save money every month. It has a password management system which saves username and passwords of frequently visited web sites. Moreover its a free toolbar and can be directly downloaded from Billeo's website.

PayPal is my choice too, however, few months ago from I remember there were some problems when sending money from India/to India? Is this right?

So far no bad experience with PayPal, need to get acqainted with xoom though. Do they have a particular geographical focus?

I have heard many companies who were actually using xoom as part of their service and though I was not able to use it yet I could still say that it's a trusted 1 cause even large companies here are trusting it.

I have been using paypal for a while now without much issues .can't say about xoom as no first hand experience.
