I am now taking deposits and need a secure way to accept payments.
Which do you payment do you prefer?
I would think they would give you good advice on this.
and that would be Pay-Pal. They are notorious for stealing escorts' monies if they suspect the transaction is for P4P, it's in their Terms of Agreement that they can do this.
A few gals I know do take deposits via major credit cards, which while risky for the client if his SO should see it, but as far as the provider is concerned, I don't see a downside, and it is convenient in any case.
I suppose you could accept VISA gift cards mailed to you as well
I know PayPal is terrible - I don't have a secure address to have my mail sent to.
Which do you payment do you prefer?
There are a couple of other low risk GCs that supposedly work w/o compromise. Is Gift Rocket GC one of them?
BEWARE of regular GCs. The GC scammers can hit you or your guest before either of you know what happened. (An honest guy can buy a GC, the scammers can empty it before he gives it to you. When you check the card (even in his presence) and show that it's empty, keep in mind that he might not know about the scammers.
Pp has been always reliable for me the past 3years, their pay anywhere CC reader & invoicing is a super easy way to get deposits...
Pp cash card is also a great way to relieve small deposits but it takes at least 30min after the card is purchased for it to be active. I always ask the client to bring the card after he's sent the number so I have the info for my records....
Good luck!!!
