yeah I'm gonna continue with my sub stuff in videos, I have a boyfriend/dom who's willing to film with me so once he's all settled into his new university course thats our plan! I just dont seem to ever get sub requests on cam haha
I used to get Dom guys on AW for cam shows when I started 5 years ago but not had one for ages. Those types of movies do sell on AW though.

I sometimes get them in free and they start asking and I get all excited thinking I'll get to do a spanking show or something and then they leave and I'm like
god damn it.
I have some punishment solo clips up and they're doing ok, sold the same as my vanilla clips and the vanilla clips have been up 4 months longer than the new ones ahah

I want to go to a proper dungeon in London/Essex for proper training when I get the ££ for it. I get overwhelmed easily and as much as I have read on the subject I still feel as though I need to physically see it in action to be able to do it justice x
Yeah i totally understand that , i trained a few local girls up here and they work all over Denmark now which is really nice. Im always open to helping people but jesus the instadommes are rife!!! - one asked me the other day what does paypig stand for ... i laughed so hard i nearly peed!.
If you get the chance to go to a proper dungeon then do it , i highly recommend it as well as mingling at munches with fellow dommes that also is a huge plus in the bdsm lifestyle as you learn alot and explore new areas you wouldn't normally
I do everything down to needle and medical play, as well as full on human toilet services! - i know videos of that kind are not allowed on sites so im glad here in denmark that anything goes! xo

Im naturally quite submissive but I seem to attract the slaves on cam and end up feeling Im doing a disservice. I do kinda get off on them being willing to do anything for me! Im not sure I could do the medical/needle or even human toilet thing but could definately do the rest.
I have considered munches but been too shy to go and start chatting to people Ive never met about domination and asking advice etc lol I never message other girls just because I think it's like asking them to give away their secrets x

Adult work is classed the same as other high risk business because traditionally they are more highly correlated with money laundering, fraud, and high risk of chargebacks. It's not to do with the adult content per se, simply the risk factor. This is why it is so hard to secure reliable and affordable payment processing. The mega sites can afford it and usually have backups they can go to, but the smaller sites can't operate on that level.
...I do have payoneer AND paxum as a back up though. It really is a pain to use the payoneer card, but honestly I'm glad we have options. Despite what people are saying to sit back and wait for AW, I would advise all of you apply for payoneer and paxum NOW. Both will take at least a couple of weeks to set up. Even if you end up not needing them they are useful to have for other sites and may be useful for AW in future x
Totally. AW say themselves to have more than one payment set up.
I remember before AW even did bank transfers and only paid out as European money transfer! That so, I doubt AW are going to close. They were around before bank transfers and they'll be around after.

With Adultwork you can only use the card (I don't just mean just now with the crisis). But I use Global Bank Transfer for Streamate, Manyvids and ModelCentro. When they first started doing GBT I had to send many emails back and forth with Payoneer to change my payments from card to GBT which was a pain at the time but then it's been no bother since.
Got it. I'm on SM so will check that out. Thank you so much xx

This thread is turning very negative ladies! AW is not going to go under - stay positive Ladies! A defeatist attitude will damage our business more than any processor problems.
We've still got options - @RubyFloozie has emailed Paxum to ask them if they have a timeline yet as to when Electronic Transfers will be back up and running (EFT). I'm sure Paxum will get this sorted ASAP - They won't have quite the same problems as Adult sites have as they're third party processors.
Daily Pay Colin has also said that he will act as AW's processor if need be - surely he wouldn't have said this if he wasn't up for the job ?
Its not been a week yet since AW lost their processor and we all know how long it takes signing with the likes of Paxum and payoneer, it doesn't happen over night.
AW is the main money making site I work on and I'm not going no - where (unless they throw me off!)
I'm going to give it another week and if AW still haven't got a processor in place by then I'll send my funds to Paxum and hopefully by then EFT will be back up and running & if not I'll just have to pay $50 for a wire transfer.
Stay positive & trust it will work out good in the end x

Has anyone had c4s themselves say they are not sending out wire payments to the uk anymore?
This was posted by DP's group manager on the other forum...
"Hi, not sure if anyone noticed but yesterday C4S posted a message saying they will no longer be paying to UK bank accounts either.
They said they may have Payoneer but:
"We are also working to secure an account to be able to send and load the pre paid debit cards that some of you have been issued. At this time, we have not secured the account, but are working to have this done in the next 2 weeks."
Payoneer can also not send money to UK bank accounts and their prepaid card is massively expensive if withdrawing cash out of an ATM.
Thanks"
Haven't had anything myself or cant see anything about it on the site so not sure where this message off C4S was supposed to be posted.
Edit: Someone emailed C4S and asked about it. They advised they used a few companies so shouldn't be effected but would get clarification. So doesn't sound like there's any problems. At this point unless it comes from C4S themselves and we know it's a 'fact' i wouldn't worry.
Classy_Katy
10-02-2016, 12:25 PM
I contacted C4S and asked if there would be problems with payment and they said they didn't use Pacnet. They have been having trouble sending wire payments outside the US for a few months, since they changed their bank.

Looks like daily pay (Colin) are now running low on reserves..
Had an email from them saying that other members were now not going to receive their funds because of the amount I requested to transfer. (I didn't realise this would be the case.. Equally I have to pay the rent! We're all in the same boat here.)
This is exactly what I have been concerned about - it's all very well ladies saying "join DP, it's so good, you deffo get your money" etc, but we have zero idea how long this will continue nor how much money any group owners have in reserve, and this crisis is very likely to hit them too. So now DP have been affected just 1 week after PacNet went offline, and you can bet other groups will follow suit.
CatBBW
10-02-2016, 12:56 PM
I've made my decision regarding getting paid. I have remained calm throughout (apart from the 2nd day when all the payment processors were being affected) and now I know what I am going to do... My next payment (after PacNet stopped) is due TOMORROW. I have ordered a Payoneer card. I will wait for this while hoping AW gets a processor sorted ASAP. As soon as the card turns up, if I still haven't been paid, I will immediately change the 4th Oct payment option AND request all my remaining credits to Payoneer.
I still remain hopeful that a new processor will be successfully implemented before I get my card, but in the meantime I know that at least my rent will be able to be paid during October.

When I started, they couldn't do UK bank transfers and I had to have an international bank account number (IBAN) to get paid via EU bank account.
Me too, and this wasn't a problem for me as my bank supplied IBAN etc numbers. I'd be happy if they could at least get something like this into place.

Wire and Check are available for UK producers.
We should not have any issues with payments this month.

I found HSBC and Natwest the cheapest ATMs to withdraw from...Barclays was expensive.
That's strange it wouldnt work in my local Barclays at all! Last time I used my Payoneer card was a few years back, I seem to recall it worked in Santander and Halifax, also I made a mistake at Halifax and tried to withdraw the amount it was showing on the ATM which of course I didnt spot was had the $ sign, so it got rejected and then I think I had to pay a 'decline' fee (as of course GBP is less than USD).
I have decided to wait until my next payment goes in there next week before trying to withdraw. I might try the Nat West you mentioned, or I might just stick to the ATM I know works.. they all have the 'Mastercard' logo on them but they don't all work!
CanTheCan
10-02-2016, 03:57 PM
For now:
Wait for your Payoneer card. Once you get it:
go to Tesco
Find a cute staff member and say "Give us a twirl bb?"
then add "Oh and £500 cashback please."
Problem solved.
They can only give out a max of £50 cashback. I think the cashback policy is the same in all stores. Kinda makes sense otherwise their till/float would be empty!
Also remember every time you use the Payoneer card like a credit/debit card, you pay either currency conversion and/or cross border fee (as its in USD) so has to be converted to the country your using it in, i.e., UK.
On their site it is listed as Free to use for pos but that is only if you are in the US/its country of origin. I think the cross border fee is listed as up to 3%. You can find further info via a Google search. (Payoneer cross border fees).
So might be worth remembering your Twirl (bottle of water) can cost a further 3%. (I keep forgetting there's a charge to use the card like a debit card and its not like my UK debit card which is free!).
CanTheCan
10-02-2016, 04:40 PM
It's also the perfect way to get chunks of cash back everytime I go. Especially because that means there is no ATM fee.
I did not see this when I posted my replies above. When I asked my local Tesco how much cashback they gave they told me the max they give out is £50. (& I assume it would be the same for all/most shops, i.e., they have a set/max amount of cashback they give out).
What is the most amount of cashback you've had and with who? (if you don't mind me enquiring!).
Also, when you use it as a 'debit card' (to pay for purchases in store), I wonder what sort of fee you pay. Obv it changes every time you use it, as the amount of your shopping would be different (& the rate is percentage based, not a set fee/amount) --- also do you have to sign yours? I do with mine, although I think I read on here that they now have Chip & Pin cards, mine I have to swipe and then sign (which is a pain). Its due for renewal in Jan next year so am hoping I get one of those Chip & Pin ones.
Classy_Katy
10-02-2016, 09:58 PM
Cashback is limited to £50. It's much easier to take it all out in cash (I used HSBC or Natwest as cheapest) then spend it or you'll be forever having to check your account online to see how much you have.

Looks like that was an old notice to do with the problems with wire payments outside the US from changing banks a few months ago but they never said they were stopping payments, only that there was a delay/issues.

10-03-2016, 01:47 AM
I can get a max of £200 at Asda 24/7. Never had a problem with my Payoneer card.
Also was able to withdraw cashback from House of Fraser a few years ago, not sure if they still do it.
I hate the ATM withdrawel for Payoneer. Sometimes it says the amount on my account is not enough to withdraw if I try to take £100 but there is like $600 in the account.
So frustrating when they then charge a fee for a withdrawel attempt.

After he put that post out i asked 'So C4S not paying to Uk bank now?' and his reply was 'Hi, no sorry, C4S will not be sending any UK bank transfers anytime soon'
So if C4S say's there is no problem but he is, who's lying then.

Yeah just tried to apply for Payoneer but it seems I already have a partly processed card application with streamate, so trying to track all of that down. I've been ill for ages so hardly working and hadn't noticed all the payment drama going on. My other site CamContacts does bank transfers and doesn't seem to be affected.

UPDATE https://www.adultwork.com/PacNetIssues.asp
Monday PM
We have our finance teams working on and pushing all of the relationships and applications that were opened last week with a view to being able to perform UK Bank transfers A.S.A.P. This is an hour by hour process that could come good at any time.
We fully understand that this constant carrot-dangling is unsatisfactory and that members need access to their funds. We know there are extra costs and timescales associated with the other payment methods (Payoneer and Paxum) but all members should consider having an operational back up payment method at all times. An account with Payoneer can be opened via the link on your Credits Transfer Request page. Paxum accounts can be opened at the Paxum Website.

"we will be using another bank in Germany to send all the International wires and things should be on time or possibly a few days late but we have another option. It is becoming an issue to be an adult company and wire to International countries from the U.S. This is due to the U.S. bank regulations that seem to
change weekly and being in the adult world is not making it easier but we are on it and we will be sure we have options
We should have this all taken care of this week, and be able to send all payments.

Main question I have is what other sites do you ladies use? I am completely reliant on cam to fund everything and I have never used another site other than adult in the 5 years I have been doing cam. I have signed up for payoneer and am awaiting my card but what else can i do in the meantime. I dont normally do much on cam (8 months pregnant!) so this has been carrying me for the last 6 months without having to do much lol. I do however sell a lot of personalised videos and photos so a site that is similar in the sense that I can sell stuff would be useful. Sorry for the absolute essay just in total panic mode as I am in need of the money again asap and its killing me logging into adult and seeing all the money there but I cant get it! Thanks :)

You can sell content - Phone Chat & Text on TalktoMe - Its not a bad extra little egg but its not AW money, not for me anyway. They pay UK performers via Paxum or check but you need to ask them about Paxum. I'm not sure if they offer Payoneer. Other than that I'm not sure which other content sites pay via Payoneer but I'm sure some-one else will help you x
Nireflirt is another one but they only pay via check for us in the UK.

Adultwork, myfreecams, streamate, mygirlfund, livecammodelshows, Cammodeldirectory, clips4sale, Manyvids. Those are the easiest to get paid from and until now I've had payoneer global bank transfer. That may or may not still be available to us, but the payoneer card efinitely is!
If you haven't signed up for payoneer yet go here http://bit.ly/2cNvYd7 it takes about 2 weeks to get fully set up and receive your card.
** note: for Adultwork sign up for payoneer direct through AW on the credit transfer page here https://www.adultwork.com/CreditsTransferRequest1July05.asp
I'd advise getting a paxum account as well.
Daily pay is available for most of those sites either through the UK dailypay service http://www.dailypayservice.com/main/ or Boleynmodels https://boleynmodels.com
There are also other sites like Chaturbate, niteflirt, live jasmin, cam with her, Candycrib, and some European ones like x cam love.

According to AW forum is it correct that if someone wants a Payoneer card then you have to apply for the card via the site you're working with - ie Adultwork. If you apply for a Payoneer card direct from Payoneers website then you won't be able to connect too -ie Adultwork. Have I understood that right?
Payoneer sounds like a last resort for me - it sounds complicated & a pain having to keep finding a cash machine and then you've got to go to your bank to deposit the small amount you can withdraw off the card - especially for me as I live miles away from my bank.
Global transfer sounded good though - its not clear if that's available or not - or if it will be in the future.
Its like living in a 3rd world country living in the UK were banking is concerned for adult workers.

I signed up for a Payoneer card by going straight to payoneer.com. It didn't link up to my Adultwork account, so I had to go through the Adultwork credits transfer page to set up a Payoneer account with a different email. That one worked and is linked up now. Just waiting on my card to arrive. If you log into your Payoneer account, you can check if it's linked to your Adultwork account by clicking on Activity at the top, then Funding Sources. It will have Adultwork listed as one of your funding sources.

if you goto cash out on your AW page as if you are doing it through payoneer, it should link you that way
there should be a payee id number (mine is 4 digits) and then your full name afterwards
