Hey guys!

Wondering how you get paid for skype shows, etc. without using your real name? And of course the least amount of fees.

If this is an old thread, can you post it here?

Thanks loves.
 
Thanks! I'll check them out but I'm looking for more of a payment app... ala P a y P a l which I know is a no no... but something like this that I can reveal something other than my name.

Thanks!
 
I always suggest the easiest way is to be paid in tokens on your cam site. You don't have to sign up for any other service, there's no personal info revealed, and it all comes in on your same paycheck, easy peasy.

If you're looking for a service that's both sex worker friendly and doesn't take any cut you'll be looking forever. You might also look at skyprivates. One difference with skyprivates is the billing is incremental rather than upfront which does reduce issues in particular when the member isn't satisfied with the skype session due to any number of reasons. You don't have to refund what they already ate vs but if they have to buy the entire dinner and feel like it's served cold the situation can become complicated.
 
Crypto. No fees, no chargebacks, and no third party telling you what you can and can't do. There's a bit of a learning curve to get started, but I've converted most of my Skype regs.

Another one to check out that isn't mentioned above is https://unblur.media--it's 85% and no account is required to make a payment.
 
Thanks for these tips, guys! I also found out about Z e l l e but its only for a certain bank, I think. But you only need an email to receive money. If anyone has any info on Indiebill let me know :h:

Zelle works with many banks, as I understand it. But, I would carefully read the FAQ/TOS to ensure it would work for you. Given how most banks and financial institutions are against adult oriented work, I'd be skeptical. You'll also want to find out how chagebacks/contests of services would be handled.

I would go with what Amber suggested, if you're initiating Skype-like shows on a site utilizing tokens, keep the payment there. It probably the safest you can do in terms of payment, chargebacks, etc. But, it's also the right thing to do since it was initiated there. If you're doing it on your own, then some of the ones mentioned here is your best best. I'd even do as @Lintilla mentioned and look into crypto.

Cool, thanks, but isn't the 50% fee really disheartening? I hear you, though...

A % cut is. However it's smarter to give a reliable processor % now than to risk it all for a 100% payout. Too much of a high risk using the methods you've listed

I use Cam Model Directory. It's 75% payout and once you hit $500 for the month the payout is 80%. Getting paid with tokens or using Indie Bill and Cam Model Directory your earnings are protected.

Just checked Zelle , as suspected, sexually oriented activities or materials and pornography are listed in prohibited use.
 
Pornhub has a pretty good percentage cut for tips too, if you have a model account in the pornhub model payment program you can receive tips through them but their system seems to be kind of wonky and cards get incorrectly declined often.

Oh good point! We get 80% on tips there don't we?

Downside is that it takes a long while to get payments. They only process once a month around the 16/18th for the previous month's earnings.

Loveeee seeing some crypto adoption!
When you say you converted your regulars to crypto, which site did you send them to in order to change their fiat into crypto? I am in Australia and we have our own website but for USA I never know where to send people!
 
Any payment apps that don't take a fee and aren't created for payment processing will not protect you from reversed charges, your account being closed with the funds withheld, etc. Use something created for our industry purposes so that you aren't putting yourself at risk to lose money and waste your time, like what has happened with your high "tipping" reg.

If they're in the USA, if they want the easiest route to just pay for stuff without having to get super involved, I send em to Coinbase. Outside of the USA, I never know anymore. When I was in Canada I used cex.io, but I've had some difficulties with their customer service, so I can't recommend them. It was also years ago, anyway. I find some guys outside of North America are likely to already be more familiar with crypto to begin with, since some of the more traditional methods can be difficult or impossible.

I'm waiting for a test subject to try buying at Coinstar kiosks, which is apparently now a thing, but I'm not entirely sure how the process works.

If you have Australians, send them to coinspot!

I have been taking amazon giftcards for skype and using them before I start the skype (to make sure they are valid) However I am also very new to this. Feedback appreciated. Is this a commonly used method of skype payment? Would I potentially have issues with Amazon with the giftcards being for sw?

I’ve used amazon gift cards for Skype shows a lot and wouldn’t see how they could be picked up as for SW especially if you ask him to use the method that is for him to generate a code and then just send it to you. You also don’t have to purchase anything with the card right away to make sure it’s valid, you can redeem it and it’ll stay in your account for you. Amazon cards are even advertised in girls’ profiles a lot as a form of payment for all types of sex work, so you’d think if there was an issue someone would say it. I don’t know of anybody having issues with amazon cards but maybe others can shed light on it.

If they put something sexually or leading in the gc note, then yes.
Also having the person give you the code is a no go.

This is 1000% inaccurate. The money is not safe until it’s spent. DO NOT DO A SHOW UNTIL THE MONEY IS SPENT. They can chargeback until then. If you leave the money on your account, you’re just putting yourself in a position to be scammed.

Please refer to this thread: Are Amazon Gift Cards Safe/Legit

Lol, got it on spending the money right away but why not use a code instead of sending it to an email? Why does it matter if its a code vs email if you're spending it right away?

What’s to say he doesn’t call in and report that his gc # was somehow stolen and they track down who used it? (Like you can do with literally all gc’s). There’s other issues with it to, but that’s a main one.
If it’s sent directly to you, it’s meant for YOU.
Come on, gotta be smarter than these members.
