I keep getting paypal requests from guys finding me via SkyPrivate. I've done 2 pay-per-minute shows with 1 guy, but all the other ones want half-price shows if they pre-pay (uh, $1.50/min for 10 min? I think not!) or just demand paypal immediately. Sigh.

Me as well Bootsie. Had 6 to 7 paypal request back to Back on Monday. Had 1 guy tell me he only had $10. I'm 4.99 per min so that would give you 2 mins. He replied can I get 5 mins for $10 BAN!!

Yep, the Skype guys are the cheapest assholes on the planet. I think I'm about done with even attempting to get Skype shows. It's not even worth the effort of turning my vpn on and logging in anymore. The freeloaders are worse on Skype than in freechat on SM. No one wants to pay, or pay my rates, or use my methods of paying so I'm done. I'm going to put my energy into things I actually get paid for like making clips.

For me, SkyPrivate is just a way to get more regulars. If I think a guy is worthy of being my regular, I let him know about SkyPrivate. Most of my SkyPrivate customers, in fact the majority of my SkyPrivate guys are ones I've taken from SM and CB or they have seen me on those sites and they did a bit of sleuthing and found me on SkyPrivate. I think I only have 1 or 2 guys from a native SkyPrivate listing.
SkyPrivate should just get Epoch as a payment gateway then they can charge a premium for guys who want to use Paypal. Then they would bank.

Not really as the paypal guys don't actually have any intention of paying via paypal or any other method, they are just annoying freeloaders

when I looked into adding epoch I found the same thing, I spoke to some webmasters I know who process through Epoch and while pp is popular, the addition as a payment option hasn't raised overall earnings significantly. I polled a ton of webmasters I know and at best overall payments rose by 10%. That was the high end, the average was less than 5%. That to me is more valuable statistical data than the hope that guys who seek pp outside Epoch (as doing so allows them to cb with ease) will suddenly become legit clients. According to my research, most of the pp guys used to pay with cc's but switched over, the salient point being that most guys were paying anyways even before the pp addition.
Paypal is a convenient option, but when it comes at a 15% charge and considering that most clients can pay otherwise? honestly I don't see the benefit.

ladies,
we read all your conversations.. so, now you can set a minimum balance the members need to have to see your Skype ID. ( https://twitter.com/SkyPrivate/status/585103670905307136 )
So, even if until now only Premium members could see your Skype ID,
some of them funded their account with just $10 > got the "premium" status > contacted you on skype and lost your time (with paypal or any other chats).
now your skype ID can be displayed only to members that have a minimum balance of .... you set a minimum USD amount.
set this here : Settings > Public profile > settings & privacy page.

I'm having a brain fail. When somebody sends an add request, is there any earthly way to screen if they're from SkyPrivate?
I don't use this skype account for any other sites, but I've had a couple of guys add me who seem to have just been trawling Skype for random woman-sounding accounts.
ashley.miller

DancesWithSloths,
no, there is no way to find if a skype ID also has a skyprivate account (for privacy reasons).
but one good idea is to have your skype ID not the same or similar with your stagename. people do search skype directory for their models' name and stage name.

Thanks, Ashley. My id isn't the same as my model name, but it does sound vaguely female. Maybe I'll just change it to something gender-neutral.

I get at least one show just about everyday/every other day, especially if I leave my Skype available 24/7.
But I just made an account 2 weeks ago so I hope it doesn't slow down.

I usually log out when I go to sleep...I just assumed guys wanted a show then and there, and having someone not answer right away wouldn't work.

I guess it just depends on the person and if they're willing to wait until you're ready. One guy waited a half of a day just to get a show from me.
I leave it on all day/night because I needsss all my dollas lol. It works for me

Do you girls who leave your Skype logged in set an auto-reply away message? I feel like it's a good idea, but I'm stumped for what to say.

Any update on if you will become a global transfer PAYONEER partner? Payoneer have confirmed you are not at this point, and so the only option is to get payments from you into the card. Unfortunately this is is extremely restrictive for me.

Has anyone else had problems with a call not showing up in their Admin and not getting paid for it? The plugin was on, it was green, counted up the way it should during the call, I checked my Admin panel on the site and it wasn't there. I took screenshots of the Skype convo (where it says [Skyprivate]) and the call length and emailed it to support, but I haven't heard anything back.

Skyprivate plug in is glitching!
I had a call it showed as green it went to 13$ when the call was finishing it started having the message pop up that he was unable to pay but he was still green and paying on the plug in... Then after it ended there was a huge long chat from sp to me n his chat that he needs to reload his account ...now it's not showing up in the account

I got my call added, but they didn't pay it through to BM, so now I have to deal with that.

We just got ours activated for Payoneer global transfer, but haven't tested it yet. If anyone wants to be a test rabbit, let me know.

What are you charging for that? Checked your site but it's mostly code at the moment while you're redesigning.

The "weekly" option is 75% payout, but its 2 weeks payout after the end of the Sunday-Sunday pay period (automatic, no need to cash out). Daily rate is 70%+referral percent. No fees or extra charges for any of the payment systems. Payoneer doesn't charge us as far as I know, just a little for us to load it.

How does this Skype plug in work?? On my profile it just says prepay shows?? I mean it is sitting there in my tray? but I cant do anything with it?? Never got a show yet so I don't know? and it wasn't even pulling up at all earlier .. I tried downloading again but then it said it couldn't connect to it and it failed but there it is in the tray!.. strangest thing ever .. can someone fill me in on this?? I thought it was supposed to be a per minute thing not a prepay thing? It is not even listed in my program files like it was.. I tried reinstalling it so now it's probably messed up or something.
LaylaLovely
04-17-2015, 11:21 AM
^^ uninstall from you control panel>add/remove programs then reinstall it. Every time you log into Skype you will automatically be "online" on skyprivate. Also every time you restart you computer you must reopen the plug in in order for it to log in and out via Skype log ins

for those girls who only do pay per minute shows and not money loads right into ur account do have a disclaimer somewhere on ur profile? i had a guy last night try to give me $5 for 5 min (mind u my rate is 3 a min too ) i told him i only do pay per minute shows via the plug in because of the chargebacks and then he said he was going to report me as a scammer to the site because he doesnt know how to get his $5 back and hes only been on the site 3-4 days.
KatyBoleyn
04-18-2015, 08:15 AM
He may get a refund, but I doubt anyone is going to take him seriously if he reports you as a scammer for that. That could be another feature for Alex to put on the list though, blocking funds transfers and setting it to "plugin only". However, that could also block people from tipping you or paying for extras like videos and such.

That would be completely worth it! I'm not sure there are many tippers on there anyway, but there are plenty of guys that want to under pay you (or possibly scam you?) with the funds transfer.

Ever since I set my skype ID to only be visible to people with money to spend, I am much happier. Gone are the unsolicited calls and general bothering that happened before. That minimum balance feature is the best.

Really vlodina? My Skyprivate went onto my card :-/ I told them in NO UNCERTAIN TERMS I want ALL my payments into my bank and they changed all of them but that one. think they just pick and choose as they please.
Regarding block bookings/ pre-payment - you can refund them via the payments page, just put in their name and the amount. I had to do this the other night for a guy who prepaid although my profile clearly states i won't accept pre-booking/ block booking.
Vlodina
04-18-2015, 03:50 PM
Yes, I was really pleased that Skyprivate (and CMD!) are global transfer. As they are smaller companies (vs eg. SM) I wrongly assumed it was just onto the card.
Payoneer are fine as long as everything is set up as you want it - clockwork. But when you have a problem it's a bit of s nightmare now that Nissim has disappeared.
But yeah, it's possible. Got the email today telling me it'll be in my account in 3 days. The Payoneer card is such a pain in the arse...

ty i just did that and just gave the guy his $5 back. i was tempted just to keep it for the BS he caused but i felt it was the right thing to do

I have it on my profile, along with a disclaimer that my rates aren't negotiable and I will only take payment through SP. I put my disclaimers at the end so they are less likely to kill boners, but I try to highlight them with a bunch of ***.

this feature will be ready in few days ;)
but, do you girls know that you can send the money back by yourself? every Skyprivate account has the "pay" page (payments menu > pay ) where you enter a skype ID and the amount to be sent.

we only send the payout to your Payoneer account. from there, you or Payoneer choose how/where to get the money.

Skyprivate is a Payoneer partner. We just do not do direct deposits ourselves but only via Payoneer/Paxum
