What is going on with First Choice?

[zen]

To use the regularly issued Paxum cards, do you need a signature or a pin code?

 

[nicehotjob]

I've been using Paxum for many years without any problems. Yes, they are slower sometimes but I always preferred Paxum to FCP

Thank you! Can you tell us slower in what? if only in support or slower in sending payments?

Only slightly related:

Chaturbate broadcasters, are you all aware of the possibility of daily payouts?

Takes four successful payouts to be able to make use of it, but for many it should take the rush away to have a Paxum account ready until tomorrow.

I used daily payout every days on FCP. Its best feature ever. After changing payout option to wire transfer i still have this feature . Myfreecams had this feature only on FCP. If i tried change payouts to paxum,epaments or wire transfer , the option is not disponible.

i will reply you instead of Dan if u permit . Totally same accident was with paxum cards ( they from choice bank too) month + ago. - u can see if u want posts on my twitter. was all fully same- representative of Paxum told us that choice bank dead and we r in trouble. and PAxum support confirmed officially that all died. and then miracle happened and next day all was fixed. IM mad as hell not because of this accident but because they DIDNT LET US KNOW BEFOREHAND nand im sorry but its fault of FIRSTCHOICE pay but NOT Choice bank. im 100% sure that Firstchoice pay KNEW beforehand how it will end, Choice bank warned them, but Firstchoice didnt let us know to get from us as much money as possible. Sorry Dan

If this scenario is right than why Firstchoise leting us after they closed to withdraw the limit of 10k from cards ?If they wanted to get from us as much money as possible they could block the cards ! Right?

Email from CMD
It would appear the reason for this relates to a major issue with their bank - Choice Bank - though we do not know exactly what the issue is. Apparently FCP intends to get back into business, but we cannot reasonably believe this will happen before a few weeks (at least).


We're currently looking into alternatives to FCP and are likely to go with ePayments for all the models who are not located in the USA (they unfortunately do not cover USA in particular).


Paxum announced that their Paxum issued prepaid cards are no longer working either (they were also using Choice Bank) - they believe they need 4 weeks to get new cards in circulation. The rest of their features are working normally. We’ll open an account with them shortly to be ready once their solution is up and running.

Sorry but what mean CMD?

 

[sassy001]

exactly. Guys, understand difference between Paxum and Firtschoice pay . Paxum has checking account and Firstchoice- NO ( only card). When u get paid- money goes first on Paxum checking account and only then u choose if to send them to mastercard or somewhere. and On Firstchoice pay money goes STRICTLY to mastercard , thats why Firstchoice is 100% dead and Paxum only %50 dead lol

So in another words u think that money that we have stucked in virtual balance on Firstchoise are lost and is verry big chance we will lose them ?Ty

ok so in payment they are ok? no delays? thank you

 

[Cosmicfox]

Can someone tell me what I'm supposed to write here?
Wire Birthdate - chaturbate. The date when my account was opened or? Thanks!

 

[SavannahMay]

@nicehotjob there's no delay, you get your money faster and cheaper than from FCP

 

[Laura0210]

All my payments are sent in FCP. So this literally means i must choose another payment platform ? I'm in Europe so i donno what to choose. I mean FCP was allowed on CB and MFC and in fact on most of the sites i'm working at so i fear now i must use more than one platform cuz i donno a single site which is allowed on all of them. Pfff....

 

[InkInSkin]

72 hours here too... 4 days exactly .. nothing.... i tried to contct chris in twitter and he said they are processing all request... he told this yestarday... we waiting for

On top of that, the verification team doesn't work the weekends, so if your account was not verified until Friday the 13th, you're pretty much fucked.

I was verified this morning 6 hours ago. Maybe they work this weekend for this big wave of new members.

Well that's good news, let's all hope for the best.

 

[whathappen]

Plenty of girls who live in legal countries pay taxes and don't make that much either, and, in the context of this thread, some will be lucky if they aren't taxed on money they aren't going to receive. Just because you have the perception that American women are making more, even after handing over 20+ % to taxes, does not make it true, hero.

LOL, calm down. Just saying that yeah, plenty of models in other countries make far less. Course, some make lots more. Don't recall trying to be a hero, but keep making assumptions

 

[JimsX]

Work an illegal job, play a risky game. Sometimes that risk does not pay off.

Heartless to say that? Maybe. But that's how I feel. Breaking laws has consequences. Walking the line for possible reward when there's much risk involved doesn't always go in your favor.

I actually agree with you here. Plenty roll the dice and it does not always work out.

For the people suggesting cryptocurrency, or those wanting it, be aware that Coinbase can/will/does ban adult content. It says so right in their TOS very clearly. Coinbase is the biggest exchange if you're looking to buy, sell or cash out your cryptos. So writing that getting paid in bitcoin is so amazing and easy and great for sex workers just isn't necessarily true when you're trying to actually do anything with it, like watch it grow or trade it too. Just something to be aware of I thought.

Keep in mind also several banks across the world are cracking down on crypto and are refusing all business with these exchanges. All over the world in fact. A few banks in the US ban you from buying with your own accounts. Bullshit because it's our own damn money, but it's true. It's important because they will also refuse payments into your bank accounts from them as well, making getting the actual payments impossible for you. So in plain and simple English: you're breaking Coinbase's rules and hoping you don't get banned every day, and if you're able to get past that your own bank may refuse to ever accept your payments too.

Can you tell me please some cons experienced by you? my fear is only that my money will be loosed. Its there any difference between wire transfer from paxum and wire transfer directly from camsite? thank you for reply

The monthly limit on card is only $10000, at least I wasn’t able to make it higher, not sure if it was possible at all. Which means u can’t spend or cash out more than 10000 via their master card.
But wire transfer not sure what limit, I was able to transfer everything I couldn’t cash out from master card.
You won’t lose any money. Just their limits, their fees are cons but in general they are okay.

@rrottenbee was a time when skyprivate had minim 1000$ to withdraw via bitcoin ..that was fuck up...but was a mistake
skyprivate is serious and I like it because of the BTC stuff... if you wanna "invest or lose " is the bes tHigh tech. gamble system.

will be good if all the sites implemented the bitcoin stuff will also be a hard kick in the ass for all the banks.... yes bitcoin is volatile but is very simple you have to receive 100$.... the site sent to you 100$ worth of btc .. you can also withdraw in that day when you get the bitcoin ..how low can bitcoin drop in 1 day??..not that much. or can go higher in the next day when you go to the bitcoin ATM ...if that's not possible well many exchanges offer FIAT.

because of skyprivate I have a new hobby and a LocalBitcoins account where I sell crypto.
you realize if BTC will go into webcam/adult industry all this shit will go too theee mooooonnnn

Bitcoin can and has dropped rapidly in a single day. Despite that, it should still at least be an option on most sites just so long as the risks involved are understood. For some, bitcoin might be the only way of getting money, which is certainly better than not having that option whatsoever.

I am not sure how often I would use bitcoin if it were available as a cash-out method when there are other more reliable ways, but when worst comes to worse, it would be very welcomed alternative in cases like this.

Most of the people who have suggested bitcoin in this thread seem to be well meaning. Sure, it might not be the payment method that is ideal to everyone, but when you're only other current alternative is not being paid, having funds frozen, losing funds, wouldn't it be nice to at least have something like BC as option, even if you only ever mean to use it temporarily? Really not getting a lot of vitriol whenever someone brings it up.

At least you're verified already. Almost 100 hours since I submitted my docs, and nothing...fuck it, I think I won't be broadcasting for a while.

this situation is frustrating. So as we are sort of entertainers we must stay calm and happy to work good and this situation ruin us. We think same but we try to be strong and continue workin.

 

[sassy001]

@Dan Epstein thanks for trying please us with some answers ,i know that probably u can t respond to all of us ,so maybe after u take a breath and a beer u can contact me too with the same problem of the virtual money that are stucked on FCP ballance ! Thanks

 

[sad_performer]

@Teagan WRONG you can buy bitcoin with your debit /prepay card not w/ a credit card in US (make sense the bank don't borrow you money to buy crypto. ) ... nobody force you to use coinbase !!! you can use something else many others exchanges or the best method bitcoin atm withdraw ...anyway coinbaise will don't ask you from where you got the btc!!!

"Bitcoin can and has dropped rapidly in a single day" not true !! I'm in this game for 1 year in 1 day you will not have a dip ..if you have 300$ at least you lose 10$ if is a dip in that day... but you can also get with 10+ for example last week was 6800$ and now is 7900$ (04-15-2018)


@nicehotjob I also do a EFT from paxum yesterday and my transaction has the status of : processing ...is 5-7 business days so .I will find out next week if I'll receive it....but I don't see why .... maybe you are new ...sent them a support ticket and...double check you iban bank name bank address swift code ..etc
I hope you convert your usd to euro and then you do the EFT

Actually you are wrong, one example of a dip would be when Silk Road was shut down, but that was before your time if you have only been dealing in bitcoin for a year. During your time you have experienced what is known as a bull market when everyone is positive and hopeful even though bitcoin has lost a significant amount of value in Q1 people still believe in bitcoin. There will come a time when something happens and people lose faith in bitcoin and we will experience a bear market. I do not know what will cause it or when it will happen, but it will be interesting to see what happens with bitcoin then since bitcoin is handled more like a commodity than a fiat currency at this point.

Our industry is already scrutinized and regulated. We need as much transparency as possible to remain legal in this political climate. To rally around bitcoin payments would be irresponsible and morally questionable. Payments that are hard to trace should not be used in legal sex work. Cryptocurrency and legal porn are already things that many want wiped out. It doesn't benefit either to pair up. Makes both look worse, and opens the doors wider for exploitation. I understand that some of you are in a bind right now, and that must be scary. I had to change payment methods too, no more dailypay, but we work in an industry that requires responsibility and reverence for the safety of others. Sad to see some of you not thinking past your own money.
