Ive never had any luck joining any of the groups Ive tried to join. And the same with being verified! I've given up lol

I guess you can't be verified yet cause you gotta have at least 100 "thanks" and so far you've got 50
But same with me, tried to get verified about 2 days ago and no reply so far...

Oh, not really. I got it pretty quickly actually, you just gotta be more active in the forum. Like, sharing your experiences in different threads, etc.
I guess the main purpose is actually "prove" that you are an active member you know.
But oh no! 3 months! That's way too long! D:

ergh saving these videos for AW really destroys the quality cause otherwise the files are too big, what settings do you guys who do clips use to try and preserve atleast some of the quality?
so grainy when it was HD v.v

email size in windows movie maker - 320x240. It's about cheap and cheerful on AW rather than quality image. If you film for about 2 minutes, you'll keep it under 3 credits. For 3 credits they can get a full length, high quality rental. Having said that, I do have some expensive movies that sell but the cheap ones can sell really well.

On tonight - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p042kl1v

"22 year-old Jade graduated with a degree in Fashion from Manchester Metropolitan University in the summer of 2015. But rather than work in the world of fashion, Jade - aka Carly Rae Summers - has decided to pursue a career in porn.

This film follows Jade as she embarks on her new full-time career, travelling to shoots in London, Barcelona and Prague, and explores the practical and ethical issues that surround a young female porn star in Britain today. Why would a well-educated young woman with a range of career options choose to pursue a career in porn?"

I think they are Susie. I am panicking a little bit I must admit. Basically if you arent in the UK or Europe you are going to be ok Payoneer or Paxum is the only way we can get paid.

I changed my Payoneer card to a 'direct transfer' account They said I can't have both but I don't think AW pay to the Direct transfer account. Only the card. I havent used it for so long, Ive just logged in and see that on top of the normal fees they charge 2% for a bank transfer from the card. Suddenly AW isn't offering such good rates any more what with 36% (If you arent tax registered - I am but the girls in my group arent). Then a further 2% from this.

09-25-2016, 05:32 AM
Right now daily pay can still send to bank accounts, but of course then you're still paying an extra 6%. Not sure what the case is with boleyn models?

Payoneer global transfer is an ok service and I use it for mfc with no issues. The company has to set up their account as able to offer this when they first partner with payoneer though, otherwise payments can only be sent to the card. Judging by the message this is what AW are trying to negotiate with payoneer now.

Oh fuck no!! Hope they find a payment processor ASAP. I like the ease of being paid direct to my bank without faffing with third party processors.

I am due for a payment 4th October, the info says it will be processed the week before, am I reading that correctly?

Glad I joined Boleyn Models. They withdraw via payoneer, so shouldn't be affected hopefully.

So...Payoneer card or Paxum card? I know they both have fees, but can I use either/both to pay bills with? Pay for things online? And can I receive funds from customers using one or the other, ie: can they pre-load at their end without me having to give them my real identity?
Did any of that make sense? :D

Classy_Katy
09-25-2016, 06:05 AM
I used to use Payoneer but I think they've terminated my account as I haven't used it for so long. I don't like the look of Paxum...it's not clear whether they would make bank transfers or not.

SylvySinclair

u can use paxum and payoneer card in stores, online purchases (as debit card) but here in brasil i only can use it to pay bills if i use it in my bank atm machine, not sure how it works in uk and usa. U can receive payments from customers if they have an acct with them and it will be used as private load. To reach ur acct it takes usually 4 days as a private load. u dont need to give them anything but one of the emails registered in ur acct, so if u registered a personal email and u dont want them to use that email, just add a new one for eg as catbbw and all they will know abt u, is that email.

I had trouble using it in some shops. Also if your bills are on direct debit, the fact that its on your payoneer card doesnt help if you cant transfer it out.

Katie, Paxum do do bank transfer its 2% charge

But if NOT on DD, I can just use the card(s) like a normal debit card?

I use paxum, and I withdraw to my UK bank account. Costs about $8. If you withdraw Mon-Thurs it's in your bank the next day.
It's a bit of a hassle to get your bank account verified on there. You need to print a form, sign it, then send them a scan. Then confirm a small amount that they credit to your bank account. Other than all that fuckery I have no complaints about paxum.
I have a payoneer account too, but they have more charges, so I only use it sometimes.

I assume so as it's a pre paid credit card so if you can use a credit card to pay your bill then I guess you can use this. However, it kept getting declined in a petrol station for some reason, so I couldnt buy petrol on it

Is it a Paxum card that your money's coming from? Or do we have a "current account" that has a card attached to it? They're essentially the same thing?

I have complaints upon complaints with them. First of all their wire transfers are $50 a pop. Second. It has taken me well over 3 months to receive my card from them. I just got it friday. And then when i went to "activate" it, it wouldn't fucking activate.I know i did it the right way and I tried a few times ... I submitted a support ticket, and even called them and no answer. So i guess i have to wait til tomorrow. Also, the card you can't use to buy prescriptions or they will shut it down and lock it up. The whole direct deposit set up is a complete fucking hassle. Why can't they just take your routing and account number? There's so much fuckery with paxum it's unreal. I'm about to switch my payments to checks b/c i'm so fed up with their stupid bullshit

yeah it's got a whole slew of stuff you can't use it on which is weird. The card is out of Belize. I've heard reports of people getting their money taken by paxum

LolaLu
09-25-2016, 06:58 AM
$50??? I read on their site it was 2% You may have to get verified with them to get that. Unfortunately we dont even have the option of cheque at the moment so these are our only 2 options. Payoneer, which you have to physically withdraw from an ATM and physically put into your account (an hour round trip for me) and Paxum which do offer it. :-/

SylvySinclair
09-25-2016, 07:05 AM
Cat, choose personal, business is only for companies like aw and other big sites. paxum and payoneer work the same way and the card is a prepaid card.

sexysusie
09-25-2016, 07:07 AM
I never signed up for paxum as always seemed a hassle. Payoneer have always been fine fir me. I get paid via global bank transfer for some sites and onto my card for other sites. Each time I get a bank payment I think it's $3. Payoneer card loads are the same or $5 for an immediate load. The card can be used as a normal debit card online and in stores. It's used like an American swipe card so sometimes stores get confused and you have to explain you need to swipe and then sign for it. I think most of the new cards though are chip and pin rather than swipe so you shouldn't have this issue if you're just signing up now.

To avoid the atm fees you can sometimes get cashback in stores and withdraw your payoneer card money that way.

I haven't had an AW payment via payoneer before but I did set it up ages ago as a backup. Just checked and AWE Are showing as set to payout via bank not card. So hopefully you'll all be able to get bank payments from them. Might want to email and ask that all your AW payments go to your bank not the card x

Rubyfloozy
09-25-2016, 07:10 AM
Yeah I chose personal. I figured that choosing business might lead to more charges.

I sent off for the card weeks ago, but haven't received it yet. Not an issue for me though, since I just sent it all straight to my bank

RE PAXUM:

Can someone please clarify if you have to pay to get the card? It's mentioned earlier in on the Paxum Q&A thread, and I see nothing about paying for the card/set up on the fees page:
https://www.paxum.com/payment/fees.php?view=views/fees.xsl

Likewise, I read on Adultwork https://www.adultwork.com/dlgComparePaxumPayoneerFees.asp that there is an annual maintenance charge, yet nothing on the fees page mentions this. Could someone please clarify 1) do we have to pay to get the card, and is this actually the first annual maintenance fee? and 2) is there an annual maintenance fee? (and 3) where can I view these fees on the Paxum site?)

SylvySinclair
09-25-2016, 07:35 AM
paxum will charge for the card a $45 and only after u receive it u can activate it.
payoneer: u dont pay for the card and u can request one as soon as u open the acct with them.

With two withdrawals processing and another waiting to go on Tuesday, my stomach sank when I read the news about it at 10am. Really didn't need that this morning, I totally understand that it's out of AW's hands....... but damn.
