Ah I forgot one, don't know if this has been mentioned, but Escrow for custom content on MFC share. So you do the entire transaction over MFC share, the member requests, the model has to accept or reject the escrow, gives a certain amount of days estimate, if they need an extension they put a request and the member can either accept or reject that. I think the member shouldn't be able to cancel an escrow during the established period of time unless the model puts in a request first as she cannot do it, as it would be totally harsh if a model was editing content already made which they couldn't resell (like something really specific) and the member cancelled.
I feel like half of the disgruntled member complaints I hear are Skype/custom video "scams", some of which are almost certainly genuine scams, some of which are models being crap, and some of which are members who throw tokens at models and then dictate content they deserve to receive for their tokens, even if said model does not offer skype/custom content.
If an escrow service were put in place then from my perspective as a model it would do a few things which would be great for me. Firstly, it would mean I could not spend the money before the content was made, meaning if I felt uncomfortable for whatever reason doing it I could cancel without putting myself out of pocket or going through the faff or issuing a refund. I think this would probably also motivate me more to make it, as if I get delayed, I would not be losing out on earning time for the current payday. It also means that it would be very clear if a member tips a large "just because" tip and then later expects content, that he did not in fact pay for content, he instead wanted to feel like a high roller by giving me a huge gift. Purchase is not a gift, I do not jump around screaming after I get taken in a hour private. Therefore it would be clear that any custom content I choose to make for him would be up to my discretion, and if I didn't want to make it, that would my choice and not something I could be emotionally blackmailed into or called out for being a scammer. I guess it would make an area where I can clearly consent to making sexual content for people, kind of like private shows, I can always choose to click accept. I would like something like that for custom content. If said member wants custom content, there would be a place for them to go there.
I believe if I were going to make a business from selling custom content, having an escrow service would make a lot of members feel a lot more comfortable with purchasing it, and more comfortable during the making process, which not only means more income, it also means a more comfortable process of making. It's no fun when even if you've taken less than a few weeks to make content, the member is clearly nervous they won't get what they want and that you're scamming them. It doesn't make one feel great about completing the work either if you start to get pressured!
As a member I can only assume it would be positive in similar ways. Not having to worry about scamming models, not having to worry about getting refunds for unfulfilled work (or feeling like a dick for taking money out of a poorer models pocket if you do get a refund) etc.
