Anyone ever use xoom?

I'm having IP issues with epassporte and setting up an account.

(Long story)

Just curious if anyone is using xoom? Are they trustworthy and easy?

Do they hide a money requester's idenity?

And they also have a habit of designing only one single graphic and then trying and borrow money from you.

I think I'm going to avoid the service.

I tried to use Xoom a couple of times but they don't accept transactions from Colorado (very strange)

That would make whoring a hole lot easier.

I could close my eyes and count the minutes until it's over. My viagara bills would drop signifcantly!

Ahh I'm a whore, I'm sure if or when the day arrives. I'll be on whatver end the paycheck comes from.

Can whore be a sexual orientation?

back to the original question, i have used xoom and they are trustworthy but they charge quite a bit for a simple transaction, its way better to use epass or if its non-adult, use paypal.

Hi!

I had a look at xoom and I've probably misunderstood it but it seems that everytime a new person sends you money they send you a Mastercard Debit card (well they would in Australia as that's the only way to get the money).

Ie: If you already have a xoom card (because someone else sent you money) I can't send you money to collect on that card (xom will send you another card for my payment).

It says:
Can I send money to a Xoom Card sent by someone else?
No, you may only add funds to the Xoom Cards you have sent.

This is for their Prepaid Mastercard, I think in the Phillipines and other countries it works a lot like Western Union where you can just go pick up the money.

That makes no sense what I wrote but the FAQ's are at: https://www.xoom.com/static/help-faq.html

Aww, come on. Take the money out of it. Sex is fun! And gay sex is better. LOL! As Gertrude Stein once said, "In the dark, a mouth is a mouth is a mouth..." :)

I've got to stand on my head to get an epassporte account because of IP issues.

IE: My ip address is in France and my bank accounts are in England. So I have several forms I've got to contact my bank for statments, fill out forms and fax stuff. <>

Well to be very honest.

It's pretty mechanical with me these days. Sure I have my moments when it is "Fun." But for the most part, I'm like "Give me my money, let me do my job and get the hell out of here." So yea, I think whore is a good description for me.

I guess technically I've made my money in life. Afterall I produced and directed several mainstream independant films in the past 2 years before slidding back to adult. (The 80 work week is hell)

Still a man has to do something or go crazy. And I don't think if I completely retired my lifestyle would be all that great or last me until old age.

when i opened up my account I got one of my sponsors to do it for me, they did it for free and it was up and running within 48 hours. It was totally easy and there are a lot of sponsors that will do this for you if you are sending them some traffic.

alternatively, get in touch with Rand or some one else from their support, I have always found their support people to be extremely helpful.

I dont see what 'ip issues' could possibly be with Epassporte, they pretty much allow anyone from anywhere to use their service dont they? I thought that was the whole point behind it?

IP issue is:

The IP address points to one country.
But my bank accounts are in another.

Therefore,
a paperwork pain in the ass.

so it's not really an ip problem... why don't you just have someone send you an epassporte gift card? for i think $40 they can create an account for you and send AND the actual atm card.

Have you ever thought of moving to France?

Because I could really use you.
