Whic is better - Paypal or Xoom?

Dear arvindneemuch Don't take cheque through Paypal .. because they used to send it through very cheap mail and yes there are 99 % chances of getting misplaced during transaction. And yes www.xoom.com is a better way to get your money. I have tried www.xoom.com many times .. they charge $8 plus commission .. but the safest part is that you will get your money in actually 3 - 4 working days time .. I used to opt for bank deposit method and I used to get my money in my bank within 3 - 4 working days time.. I also request you to check the discussion started by me here -- http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/993013.aspx

I've been using paypal for a few years and have been well pleased. I do electronic transfers between paypal and my checking account. There is no concern with losing a check. I have not heard of Xoom, obviously PayPal is far more established. Much less chance for a nasty surprise.
