I used the Intuit app on my tablet. It was great until someone did a charge back. Not worth the drama. I no longer accept credit cards. PM me if you would like more info.
But yes, it's not a good idea for provider's on outcalls carrying around a bunch of cash or even providers with set incalls to have lots of cash in there incall place. A safe won't help you if some guy has a gun. You have to consider the lowest common dominator of society when you think about your safety.
This is why I have a bank account. I would never leave money "under the mattress".
It's sad that one guy can ruin it for the rest. After being burned by charge backs, I find it hard to go back to accepting credit cards. I think this is one reason many providers don't accept them.
There is a solution somehwere that works for both. Some of the high volume girls, who I won't see, may not have enough time to run to the bank between incall appointments..so they may literally have cash under the mattress.
It goes both ways.
I scheduled an appointment with a provider several weeks in advance several months ago and it happened that her period schedule was a little off and nearly ending and sex was off the table that night but she felt she would be okay the next night. I gave her the agreed upon amount of $1000 ($500 up front and in advance via green dot, another hassle) and she gave me the best HJ possible and agreed to come back the following night because she felt like she didn't live up to expectations or as advertised...which she didn't.
I emailed her once and called her once the next morning and was told to "Go Fuck Myself" on a phone message and to "never email me again" via email. I let it go because I am the idiot that let that happen. And I wouldn't think of going to paypal to try and get the money back if that was how the payment was made. The old Milton Friedman or latin addage of, or whoever the said it, "buyer beware" apllies here.
If you get screwed as a hobby guy, you walk with it and let it go.
I went off on a tangent here, but both providers and hobbyists can get taken. I think some kind of credit structure is better and safer for all of us.
The awesome part was that I didn't "go fuck myself" but fucked one of the top providers in the world latter that night. Karma works sometimes, even if I had to drop some huge coin because of my error to get there. I'll walk with that
Paypal takes 3-5 days to transfer & I have had 3 accounts closed with funds held for almost a year. CC's can be charged back & cost you more to accept. There are several other secure methods to take $.
I require a 50% deposit to book, so this is never an issue. I do not accept paypal, nor CC's anymore because they are bad news, and added drama.
from a hobbyists point of view, i personally feel like im gonna get ripped off if i go the cc route, and i dont trust paypal on either side of my finances, and clearly you can not do this on ebay ;p so cash is seems to always the best, but in an envelope or not is the ultimate question for me. in regards to the providers safety thats a real doozy. there should be manual for this.
It sounds like an opportunity for a real capitalist in the finance circles to so solve this seemingly small issue.
But all providers need to take anything that suggests sex for sale out of their email addreses and any online profile that a bank or creditor could see.
I am going to harp on this forever because it is really fucking stupid. No guy gets turned on by an email address. Sexy, erotic, lusty, slut, courtsean, whore or hooker anywhere in an email address are red lights to any business that would like your business through a credit transfer. Do I really have to mention this? Is it not intiuitive?
No way is BOA, AMEX, Visa, Chase or others going to open themselves up to that liability if they knew she or they are in this business. What if a girl got hurt or worse? Can you imagine how bad the publicity might be for the banks?
There is a solution here for some smart finance person to figure out. In the rest of the USA, cash amounts to less than 1% of all transactions, why not here also?. Someone needs to figure it out.
I don't front money and I don't do green dot...next.... I have been burned.
Is what I say all day, so this is your hobby it's mine as well. I am very reputable, and top rated for many great reasons. Since I have started my 50% deposit required I weed out time, wasters, flakes, and lames who really are not interested in me just getting their rocks off!
Chemistry is everything, and it costs to be the BO$$! Not all adult entertainers care to be referred to as hookers, or whores, so I will pass.
Wow, discretion has really been lost in the hobby. Regardless if you are married or single, don't make a stupid move like this. The provider can see your name if she is a merchant and if she gets busted, they have hard evidence of you seeing a prostitute. It has happen with the big agencies, they have the John list but also a record of the transaction. Paypal will freeze an account for the slightest problem, if they suspect any illegal activity, the money is gone. Many years back, a regular of mine had that happen with Paypal. She incorporated with her legitimate information using a different address and phone number from her escort website. But she still showed her face on her escort site, she suspects a chided ex John reported her and sent them her model mayhem album, also showed her face with her escort site. She lost lots of cash.
Just so there is no misunderstanding, I wasn't calling anyone a whore or hooker...I was saying that some of them call themselves that in their own email addresses and that is a red flag.
I would think that some kind of credit exchange could be developed with complete animimonity for both. Itould be a great and lucrative idea for someone smart enough to it. Totally possible.
I have no doubt that you would show if money was fronted, but some hobby guys have policies just like you do. One 1 thousand dollar HJ pretty much sealed that policy for me.
