You and they need to update Adobe flash player. Chrome is best as it automatically updates.

Also, MP4 is smaller than WMV but there can be problems with it playing on AW, all mine got corrupted so I'm changing them to WMV.
If you go with the AVI format you can charge less, it's about 50% cheaper than the WMV or MP4 format price. There is a free program I use, Smart Converter, that supports converting to this format. That way you can really get the minimum price down on larger and longer files.

Is there any way i can return the credits for a webcam booking?
SexyAleks

Yes, there is the refund option, I found it in Help centre, under section Credits, vouchers and Freeviews, then select category Refunding credits. After, select article How can I transfer funds to another member or refund them?, option If you wish to refund someone as a result of a failed webcam or phone chat meeting (and the credits are still in escrow) then click here and fill out the details. A Feedback form appears where you fill in all details.

Is there any way i can return the credits for a webcam booking?
I got a 40 minute booking for 80 credits, accepted it, i started the session, but there were two guys on cam laying on the bed close to each other, not gay, and apparently making fun of my show, felt very weird about it all, as they were commenting and laughing between themselves, so i called it quits after 3 minutes.
If it was me I wouldn't refund! They fucked up let them work out how to claim it back, you deserve to keep it, how much money would/could you have made while you was messing about with those guys? I will only ever refund if the show is cancelled due to my equipment failing or a power cut. I have this detailed on my profile too. Oh and I have only ever had two guys claim refunds ;)

Wow i would have done the same, i find it weird having two people watch. I had a couple once and it made me feel really under pressure and they didn't know their mic was on and i heard them saying 'shall we find someone else' .. it was a combination of my nerves and them not saying what on earth they would like lol!
Hope you sorted it ok!! x

Hmmm Adultwork closed my account with no warning, no email, nothing! I hadn't even started streaming/broadcasting yet I was still navigating my way around the site. Strange.

It's a major pain when this happens. Did you check the terms of use? Sometimes it's the wording in your profile, mentioning twitter etc. You can still contact them and ask why.
http://www.adultwork.com/Terms.asp
Just noticed they were updated yesterday, I need to read them again!

Yes! I know of three people who were erased from the site over the weekend. It makes me nervous to be honest. I'm traveling at the moment and I submitted pics of me in my current location as proof in hopes of getting my location changed. But still no response from them. But now I'm wondering If I should have waited until I get to my second destination before I asked to change it? I'll be there longer. AW is one of those sites that I don't like to ask too many questions for fear of losing my account. So I'm just gonna wait it out. If my IP address gets an automatic flag like before then I will send an email with proof pics for that date.

I looked through it, but couldn't figure out what was new. Any ideas ladies?
And just to verify..the only pics that need to be used on AW alone are my 3 profile pics, correct?
Also, it states, "The photos and movies you upload must feature you, have been filmed by you and/or legally belong to you." I have a slave who is an exhibitionist. I took screen shots of him, and he begged me to put them in my gallery. I have them watermarked as Prop. of Mistress...and I did take them and technically own them. Do you think this is against the rules?
Classy_Katy
12-24-2013, 12:02 AM
I think those pics are fine...other girls do the same, they will simply remove them if they don't like them. Yes, it's just the main 3 profile pics that have to be AW only. I couldn't see what they'd changed in the terms either...

Went through the webcam verification process and got a notice that they can no longer accept driving licences due to how easy it is to forge in the US. Ok but the directions clearly state that driving licences are accepted. They're asking me to supply another federal ID. I have no passport. What else could I give them? My ssc or is that taking it too far?

Is it me or is AW starting to extend the amount of time for payouts? It states that as long as you request your credits by Tuesday after the first 2 weeks of requesting pay, you should be getting paid weekly. I just now got my pay today, a check 3 weeks ago, and the next pay says it's coming the 28th which I requested last week. I just don't get it. It's been like 3 weeks in between pay and I switched to payoneer so I don't have to wait 4 weeks for a check.

You will always get paid on a delay with AW. Basically what they mean is if you request payout every single week then you will get a check every week after the first two - but those payments will always be with the 2-3 week delay.
Classy_Katy
01-13-2014, 11:48 PM
I'm paid by direct bank transfer and I receive my money just under 2 weeks after I request a transfer. So, today I will be making a transfer request as it's Tuesday, and I will receive it a week on Monday (1 day less than 2 weeks). If you transfer weekly you effectively get paid weekly but it's for the work you did 2 weeks beforehand.

Anyone with Nationwide or the TSB have their AW funds directly deposited into your personal accounts? Have you had any problems? I know that's quite specific but I know some banks don't like direst deposits like that.
I'm deciding wether to get payoneer or just have the funds directly deposited to my personal acc. I used to be with DP but I closed that acc when I took a 3/4 month break from cam.
Classy_Katy
01-16-2014, 07:40 AM
It's cheaper to have it paid directly into your bank account. It was costing me about £10 a week to use Payoneer and withdraw cash from the card. I'm with Barclays and have no problems...it's a straight forward UK bank transfer so the other banks should be fine too.
JodesHu
01-16-2014, 12:28 PM
Thanks @Classy_Katy, I was thinking I might have to open a business acc but I'd rather have the funds deposited directly to my personal account.
Classy_Katy
01-16-2014, 12:34 PM
You're welcome...I didn't need to open a business account and it's not like I'm earning enough to pay VAT! I just put my bank account details onto Adultwork and hey presto!

01-16-2014, 12:48 PM
I'm positive US girls can't opt for bank deposits unless going through payoneer.
Classy_Katy
01-16-2014, 12:58 PM
From the banks JodesHu mentioned I thought she was in the UK.
JodesHu
01-16-2014, 02:12 PM
Yeah, I'm in the UK so am able to have the direct deposit option.
I didn't realize that performers outwith the UK can't have direct deposit, that must suck. Hopefully they introduce it soon for those outwith the UK, although I imagine it would be costly for AW to do that.
You're welcome...I didn't need to open a business account and it's not like I'm earning enough to pay VAT! I just put my bank account details onto Adultwork and hey presto!
Aw that is nice to know, thanks for the quick reply!

Adultwork is known to be slowest in January I'm afraid....all those Christmas credit card bills have landed and a lot of people get paid before Christmas and then have to wait until the end of January to be paid again.

People will start getting paid from the 25th(ish) onwards so it should pick up but as Katy says, there is always someone with money around.
There is quiet periods like this, but all you can do is do the right promo etc to make sure it is YOUR profile the guys see :-D

Just diversify as much as you can...there is so much you can offer on Adultwork. There are people on Adultwork who will be online for something 24/7, camming is just one option. I noticed how many extra profile hits I receive simply from featuring a sale item, and blogs are really popular too...just play around and see what you can do!

sms is a fancy way to say text message and i think its some kind of pay per message thing but since im in america i dont how well it would work for me dealing with the guys across the pond

I still can't get my mobile number verified to do webcam on AW. I've tried everything I can think of. AW says it must be my mobile provider, my mobile provider says no numbers are blocked. Grrrr.... doing DirectIM lately, but nothing happens.

You shouldn't need mobile verification to provide webcamming. I don't remember doing that.
SexyAleks
01-24-2014, 04:25 PM
No, you don't need your phone number verified to do webcam. And something stupid I saw today in my credit history - manual escrow for a movie worth 1.6 credits, and 1 hour later - refund for a gallery subscription, worth 1 credit. Unbelievable...

I'm doing non-freechat and the last five people that come into my room didn't spend more than 40 seconds in the room. They say hi and engage as they are interested but then, suddenly they leave. There was one private too. At first I was okay but now i think there may be a technical problem. Did anyone experienced something like this before? This has never happened to me.

I find that workimg without freechat I often get 'peepers'who just want to come in and see what I look like. Today I had a guy come into private, say 'hello' and wait for me to reply...then disapper. Had other paid chats, so that's just how it goes.
I did have big problems with jci crashing after the last upgrade but that was a while back and usually happened when trying to go c2c.

01-25-2014, 11:01 AM
If thats the case, its annoying yes, but no problem. Because I don't want to think that I'm not making money because of technical issues. But if they do it on purpose it's okay.

01-25-2014, 11:47 AM
its one of the cons of not doing free chat do i dont blame you the two days in a row i was in free chat on that site they just left as soon as they came in or just said hi then left or talked for a little bit then left randomly and the same few guys kept poppin in and out for 2 hours it was annoying yeah FUCK free chat thats what photos are for ><
CurvyBlondeOnCam
01-25-2014, 11:55 AM
you have to have patience for free chat like , off cause you are going to get alot of guys coming in and out all the time (yes the same ones) but when you realise they have no intention of ever paying just kick them !! & bb please stand and all the nonsense is very annoying but part of being a cam girl !
One guy I was so close to kicking decide to pay me a vist in PVT & I got over £150 credits from him in the one sesion and he has been in and out my room for month and months for wee chat , so some do pay and some don't .
As for me , when I am in free I make double the money compared to hiding , Just a wee boobs shake gets some of them in to grp/pvt & it also gets u alot more customs , that is my opinion but everyone is different hey ! :P xxxx
hope u are all busy any way :D xx

Hello, is anyone having problem to upload movies to adultwork today? I have been trying to upload a 24 minutes movie but it just says "Uploading Movies. Your images and movies are being uploaded, please wait..." and then its just loading and loading. I thought maybe its because the movie is too long so I cut it into two parts. Am uploading part one which is 9 minutes, WMV, 217M, but still no luck. Is my file too big or AW is acting up? Thanks in advance.
Classy_Katy
02-04-2014, 07:22 AM
Is that 217mb? That is large...minimum price will be 22 credits! But I don't know if it's too large to upload, I don't have any that big. With AW it's best to keep the movies small...it's not like Clips4sale. I saw mine to email size 320x240 WMV.

I had something weird doing it via FTP last night, it gave an error after a 600 mb file upload completed. It looked like it didn't upload but then I was able to find it on the site to enter the info for a rental. Then that page said there was an error after I hit submit, but when I checked the movie showed up in my rentals section. Not sure if this is normal or not because it was the first large file/rental uploaded to AW. It was frustrating to say the least!

I thought that after being removed from AW dp, I'd have to make a new account. But I see that I'm still able to log into my AW account. I guess I already had a regular AW account prior to signing up for AW dp. It's been so long that I couldn't even remember how I signed up.
