Is support still wanting the information of guys who are asking for paypal when we have our Skype ID's showing to premium only members? I took a screen shot of him asking about it where he also mentions that he found me on skyprivate
My first contact from SkyPrivate....was one of these guys. *sigh* My second contact via SkyPrivate...hasn't happened yet.

So, just signed up via BoleynModels and did the whole account process. What version of skype does support the app? I have the latest version and it keeps telling me the plugin isn't supported...

Okay so now that i know my plug in works... I'm stuck trying to figure out how to get calls :( I've been on for days only one show ... Not even any inquiries.i updated my profile added many pics...changed bio pics
There's only 2 pages of girls verified/online when I'm onto I know it's not flooded ....but I do notice many girls definitely more than any website that are around 1-2$ I'm shocked at the 1$ prices... Like maybe that's why I'm not getting any bites
I tried to put my skypeid as viewable by anyone...but literally within minutes I had a bunch of requests from wierd countries begging to take there calls for... No matter how many times the plug in rejects it they keep trying so I switched back to members only...
Am I missing something here???

Layla that's why I didn't bother signing up at first. This year though the rates have steadily gotten higher as more girls have joined. i am at $3.99 per min and got 1 show last night and 1 tonight. I was on for 3 hours each time. It doesn't bother me massively as it is only a sideline site and every little helps. I think it has a lot of potential so don't worry about your rate, set it as you want x

I wonder if SkyPrivate might consider setting a per minute minimum? There is a lot of buzz around them atm with lots of new traffic coming in, so now would be the perfect time to do it!

Our aim is to be this tool for skype to be used by indi models (and even studios) so, I do no think that setting a minimum is a good idea. we do not want to be "another cam" site. more technical innovation will come soon. But what I can tell you is that we are building a "promo/discount" category/filter and a good idea is to have also a "premium" category/filter.
what do you ladies think?

So SkyPrivate can, if they wanted to, record the girls' Skype sessions. Correct? Not that they would. I mean, I'm sure there's something in the terms or agreement stating that SkyPrivate doesn't outright own the 'intellectual property' or 'content' of its performers. Otherwise, 'content is king'. After all, it's the only thing most sites want from the camgirls. Couldn't give a rat's ass about providing live shows, only to steal their content to sell without their knowledge or permission, on outside platforms and to trade with other industry 'players'. SkyPrivate also has access to the customers' information. That's not independence at all. The camgirl is again, controlled. She just 'thinks' she's earning more with SkyPrivate.
In my opinion, being truly independent means you have access to your own customers' information and no third party does. It also means your Skype sessions are from you to the customer, no middleman watching over or stealing your shows.
That may or may not be the way you operate but it's a very real possibility, isn't it?

^^ if you bothered to read the thread at all you would know that SkyPrivate will not and cannot record/sell/trade any of our content. It is clearly stated in their TOS and their FAQ. Please don't try and instil fear into models who prefer to use this service over yours. It is bordering on slander. The adult business is changing and more companies are now realizing that they need to cater to the requirements of the model/customer interaction rather than being purely about just their own profit.
I have nothing but good to say about SkyPrivate. They have always handled my questions with grace, respect and integrity. That is a truly hard thing to come by these days in any business. They completely deserve the commissions as well!

it is that moment for me right now. thank you Hyori, thank you SoloDesire!
I should not add anything else, but my tongue is burning: We ARE working actually to build something new to Skyprivate that will bring more power to the model: owning the customer details but also keeping her and his privacy at 100%. just some more patience. few weeks or 1-2 months

Not defending lousy contracts or anything, but I don't see how that is different than most sites out there. You do understand why that is in the contract? It actually has nothing to do with screwing the models. What it does is protect SP from copycat jackasses making their own site, stealing pics and screen names and skype contacts, and tricking people into paying for shows. Without that clause, SkyPrivate would have no legal legs to get them shut down or put out a DCMA notice on any content stolen from their site or your shows booked through them.
Look for sites like this, they do exist. I tried for months to get myself removed from one where customers kept paying $50 for shows (on PayPal!) and contacting me on Skype wanting to know where their show was (profile and photos were ripped from SkyPeepShow, btw). Now...could SP also use that clause to do evil? Maybe. Have they? Not that I know about. We personally side-stepped the issue by making it "opt-in" for any marketing, but the model is solely responsible for all her own DCMA's...we can't use anything except under strict license, but if anything happens we can't do anything to help either.
Could SkyPrivate word their contract better? Probably, but something like this must be there to protect their content (and the content you put) on the site.

Amanda, I get that going Indy has been very liberating and lucrative for you- congrats on your personal success; it's very inspiring, indeed! But we can see what your trying to do here. I understand you are trying to get your indie site's name out there. If I may be so bold to suggest borderline slandering other sites isn't going to help recruit models to join your site. There has been several newly launched sites/ studios that have repeatedly done the same on this forum.
Anyways, even though I disagree with most of your views on camsites, I wish you the best in your business.

let's wait for the girls to reply. but from my point of view the answer is:
not many CB problems. Most of these problems are from models that usually get $5-$15-$20 per transaction and out of the blue she gets 2-3 transfers of $100-$200 and instead of contacting us to see if we find something fishy about it, she makes a withdraw request the next minute.
of course this is just and example. We do not understand why these girls act like that.
Other times there are just members that use stolen cards or are just jerks and ask their bank for a chargeback.
I explain this because this is not happening only to us, but to the entire industry, to all big and small cam sites.
We try to fight this in 3 ways:
-trying to have a close connection with the models, because they can be part of the investigation process (report that member to us)
-try to close a deal with a company that goes after the customers, via the legal way. (but this is not a solution to protect us all against CBs)
-and try to add other payment methods that are chargeback free. In the next days we will have Paxum, Payza, PaySafeCard, Sofort, iDeal as an alternative next to the creditcard. (on our side the code is done, but there are some issues on our integration partner side, this is the reason it is not already live)

I have only done the "buy a block of time for x amount" transaction, since I'm not verified yet. I did my session, and kept track of the time myself...I didn't have the Skyprivate counter come up at all. Is that normal?
SimoneGray
03-20-2015, 09:20 PM
yes. when somebody is calling the plugin will inform you if that is a Skyprivate member or not. If he is but does not have funds -the call is automatically shut down.
.
I am getting calls left right and center that are not being shut down automatically, by users that have no funds...le sigh. Its ok though because I am shutting them down myself, but still, I hate leaving my pc for like 5 seconds and hearing my skype ring off the hook.

Is it best to leave your privacy settings to allow for calls from anybody when using this? I usually have mine locked down to contacts only but I am getting a lot of skype requests and when iask if they want a cam show there is no answer. i am thinking these may be skyprivate guys who are expecting to just be able to call through. i don't want to miss them, but likewise i don't want a million spam calls :-/

this is your decision. the plugin charges the calls (being them voice only, video only, or video+voice).
I have only done the "buy a block of time for x amount" transaction, since I'm not verified yet. I did my session, and kept track of the time myself...I didn't have the Skyprivate counter come up at all. Is that normal?
Normal? if you choose so, it is. If the docs are alright, the model gets verified in few hours.

this is not normal. if the plugin is open and logged in it should shut the calls if they do not have funds (and are Skyprivate users too).

again, is your choice. every model does her own setup.
you can add them all on skype and then when they call you can see if they are premium Skyprivate users. or you can allow calls from users not on your contact list and the plugin will do his job after they call.
usually in life, the best solution is to test both of the scenarios and then choose what is best for you :)

I have my Skype settings set to "accept calls only from people in my contacts" and I never add anyone until we've discussed a show and payment. If they seem serious then I add them to my contacts. If they don't immediately buy a show then I remove them. This keeps people from calling you without your permission. I would go crazy if I just let everyone call. Since Skyprivate isn't the only indy site I'm listed on I don't use the "Skyprivate members only" option for calling. It's just easier to set up your Skype settings to prevent calls.

I am $3/min and loathe to go any lower than that, but so far I have only had 2 shows, both the same guy. I think my time zone must be shit for it or something, but I am limited in camming hours available due to roommate's sleeping schedule.

I'm limited on hours as well but it seems it doesn't matter what your price is I went from 1.99 to 3.99 then back to 2.99 then 2.49.. Lol all the same only difference is I atleast get one show a day on 1.99-2.49 at 3.99 nothing also a ton of pp guys more than any other site and there all foreign .. As soon as I see they have an diff kind of name and they say some odd country I'm just waiting for the pp to pop up lol..I've tried dif profile pics.. Adding more gallerypics..there's realy nothing more for me to try

I'm a mom too but they're young so they take naps. How about leaving your Skype available (phone) and when they contact you, just tell them you're not free and a scheduled show can be set for xx:xx (whenever you're able to work).
I had 2 shows so far today, but they waited until I was ready which was nice.

For some reason that's not working. I believe it's the reflective surface of my drivers' license that isn't really showing up properly. I thought most sites did away with the hold your id thing because of this very issue. My license wasn't reflective in the past. I tried it again so hopefully it works.

the time for the bookings is on the timezone of your account (under settings > account > contact page)
