How long does it usually take for your money that u made from a pvt to show up in stats? I had a pvt earlier today but its still not showing up in my stats:(
SylvySinclair
06-13-2016, 12:14 PM
its instant. if the show shows up, but on the amount it shows 0, then it was refunded, just click on real stats and refunds and it will show up there, but if the show doesnt show at all, not guys name, nor the amount, anything, then make sure u had a paid session or talk to cs to see whats going on.

I checked with cs and they told me that they were waiting to get money from the customer and that could take up to a several weeks but that they have gotten money from him before? I am on the 50% payout. Wondering if the 50% payout is worth it?

Ok, I think I will try it and see what happens but have you ever had to wait for more than a week or so for money from a pvt to show up? I have 2 different pvt's that I am waiting for the money to show up.

never this long this second time camming there, but had it before, what happens is that the guy has maxed out his cc, so ifriends keeps charging him every 24hs and if he doesnt have the money, they continue to charge until they find funds, which usally will happen when the guy gets paid and pay his cc. so, 2 things can happen right now: one, the purchase is fraudulent, which means the cc is stolen, or the guy doesnt have funds as for now. just wait another few weeks and keep looking ur refunds tab to see if the didnt ask for a refund. if he did, block him asap on ur chat if he pops in and if u think its too much of a hassle to wait for ur sales to drop on ur acct, just switch to 35%.

Ok girls, I am coming with a few useful tips, to avoid a bit the chargebacks, if you don't use the protection:
->This won't tottaly save you from them, but is worth a try. In my case, it worked.
After I got burned with a $200 private, now I am trying the following tricks:
1. First of all, look at the member's ratings and the date he joined. When you click on the info, for him, it shows those green balls (rating).
Thanks God, the site lets us see how much time he has been a member and those ratings show if he has been spending much or not.
USE IT!
-If he has only 1 green ball (1 star), especially he is brand new, contact the live support to check the member while u are still in private. Because the money show only after the private. This way you know for sure if u kick him out or keep him.
PS: If you want the things to go faster, keep in a word document a saved text, for the support, so you won't waste time typing to them, everytime u have a new dude in private.( ex: "Hello, my nickname is XXXX and I have a member in private. He is new and I am not using protection, it would be great if you can check if he is a trusted member, so I know if I continute the private with him or not").
-If his he has 4-5 ratings and also has badges and he has been member for a while, on the site, then relax. You will see your money.
2. If you see the green "VCW" sign, it means he is a Video Chat Wallet user. Wich means, he usually buys credits in advance. If he has good ratings too, then you are safe.
3. If the support is not available and still want to check the guy, you simply tell him to "refresh" the private. You come with a little lie like: (example) "Hmm, I can't see myself anymore, can you please get out and come back? I hate seeing a static picture", or whatever you want.
- NOW! be careful! he might not come back so, here u take a risk.
You can tell him, before he leaves, something like : "Don't you think I find you boring, so don't run away hehehe", or whatever, to not give him the impression u want to get rid of him (some members are idiot and believe u don't like them).
In my case, if he doesn't come back, I send him a message. And here, he may come back or not.
Is EXTREMELY risky, but if you really want to know, it might work. It's your money and time.
This is applying to the new customers, who have never been in your room before, of course.
But yeah, the best is to ask the live support in real time, others are applyable in case the support is offline.
Cheers!

Good advice and i was doing the same exact thing, checking his rep on the site. Question: was it really slow for u the past week and the one before? i raised my fees from 2.99 to 5.99 maybe too much for bdsm non nude room? well, like i said, ifriends is not a bunch of money, its pocket change for me, but i got really upset with a 30 mins show from a gold member, which is a badge they dont have anymore, where the guy gets 50% discount and i made from that show only $20. i went to support and told them all colors of bs. they told me to talk to the manager and i sent him a very long email on how things have to change on the site in order for the girls not to move to better sites. hope they hear me. lol

To be honest, I didn't login at all on ifriends in the last 2 weeks. I logged in yesterday and with a huge luck I had a very long private with a member, who tipped me too.
I only have 2 stars at profile and my price is 4,99. I kinda am non-nude too on ifriends.
I will definately log in from now and split cam as extra site and I will come back with an oppinion, because it seems it's still a good site, even sometimes I used to stay a few days with 0$ before I was making something on it.
But, because I don't stay in freechat, is good to be left in the taskbar.
About your prices, hmm, depends what you offer. Maybe you can try something in between and increase step by step? Like 3,99 or 4,99. I'd go for 4,99, especially if is a side site and you don't stay in freechat.
Depends how many stars you have at profile, as well.
Oh, yes, I've been trough that situation too with an old reg. It was an annoying member too and imagine how pissed I was, when I saw he had 50% discount. And at that time I was on 35%!! Sweet!
Oh well, it happens.
Btw, with those who have 50% discount, doesn't appear the amount at the live stats? Like at the other privates should?
It's super frustrating but, what can we do? In fact, we are happy too when we get extra discounts at Sephora for being regular customers :))))

Ty girl, yes i dont stay in free chat and my shows are more into taboos roleplay and fetish, so i will try something at 4.99. I have 4 stars on my profile and i work on my fanclub once a week only. i went from fetish niche to bdsm where i found myself getting guys who know better what that niche offers. on ifriends guys are very vanilla and dont know very much about kinky stuff, they keep asking for nudity or just gf chat....lol which doesnt bother me at all when they are paying. (i mean the chat thing, when they ask me to get nude, i immediatetly tell them to submit to the queen. )lol

06-27-2016, 03:39 PM
Omg, I haven't updated my fanclub in a few months :))))
To be honest, I did login very rare in those few months.
So, yeah... I need to update everything a little if I want my 5 stars back :))
Yeah on ifriends I try to keep it non nude too. Or I adapt the things... but mostly is non-nude.
Personally I like vanilla guys who do gf chat :)) This is how that member I've been lucky Sunday was. All chatting, nothing sexual at all, best work shift ever for me :)

iFriends was the original, and first US site that offered camming from the "girl next door". I have been on iFriends since their inception in 1998, and it is still my favorite site when I have time to cam. I am semi retired, so do not get on much anymore, but, when I do, I go there, as I have more control over my room there than I do on any other site. Gold Members was a promo iFriends offered in 2000 I believe - a guy could pay a one time $99 fee and for the LIFE (yeah, LIFE) of his account, meaning, from the guys I have dealt with who had Gold Memberships, that as long as their account was in good standing, and I believe were using the same credit card or called if their card expired and transferred their account to the new card, they would get 50% off of ANYONE'S show! At first, we could NOT opt out of this, and boy were there a few angry chathosts. Some would even refuse to do a show for guys they knew were Gold Members. So, iFriends decided to give us an OPT in/out choice in accepting these members. Funny thing is, it is NOT in your performer account, but in your Personal ID account which is totally different and uses a different username and password. You would need to go into your Personal ID card account (this is the account that has your uploaded documents etc when you signed up) and there will be a section that will state "Accept ALL Members" or something to that effect. I can't remember what page it is on, but it is likely on the first page you click to adjust your profile. Most are too afraid to UNcheck this box (as it is checked by default!) thinking it means you will not be sent VIP or Elite members or those who find iFriends through searches and such, but no - its the box you want to uncheck if you would rather NOT deal with Gold Member shows and getting a huge chunk of money taken from your pay. The site is certainly not what it was in 1998 through I would say 2003 when other sites started to pop up - for so long, iFriends was the biggest fish and in some ways the ONLY fish in the pond, so, money was great there. But, they did not keep up with some of the things that these other sites have and it has left them at the bottom of most cam girls list of sites to log into due to most of us do not need to be sitting in front of the camera for hours on end hoping for someone to come in for a show. I still love iFriends, and maybe like the other poster, it is because it was my "first", but, I have found that the members there are well, just a cut above some of the other sites I have been on. I have guys who still visit me over 18 years later who saw me in 1998 when I was still young and thin! LOL Another thing about Gold Members is that when you are in a live show, you can click on your link to view your stats in real time, and if there is a G next to the guys name, it means he is a Gold Member, so, if you don't want to uncheck that box or cannot find it - you can still know that this person is a 50% guy and go from there as to whether you want to do the show I suppose. The thing is, there are so few Gold Members left on the site, it is pretty unlikely you are going to run into them often. You guys also know you want to see an asterisk* next to the guys name after the show to know the money collected. I am on 50% there as I seem to only entertain those whom I have known forever, I rarely get a new viewer there, so, I am not worried about the risk factor.

I also can't decide whether I should get the 50% pay or the 35% pay with charge-back protection... I'm thinking the 35% since I am paranoid AF about being taken for a ride... but then how is iFriends any different from Streamate? Dithering.

I have written above about what to do, in case you are on 50%, to avoid (as much as you can, is not guaranteed 100%) chargebacks.
My suggestion is, to try the 35% untill you are getting used with the site (how it works, how the members appear, how to recognise a premium member, a new one, etc).
And after that, switch to 50% and start "risking", but at least you are risking less :))))
I was new and I didn't know the site very well and I got tricked with a $200 private. I was so excited, seeing the money adding there, untill the private was done.

Ok, so, I had this member in private, he was a finsub giving me his username and password so I can login on his ifriends account and tip myself.
I asked the support if this is allowed and she said " I am not sure, I don't think so".
Of course I refused the member, my intuition said is not allowed, but yet, being at the fetish category, this sounds a bit "legal".
But the support answer was unsure and left me with a huge question:
Is it or is not allowed?

I wouldn't think it's allowed. And even if it's allowed, I would hate for you to do it, and then have it bite you in the ass (like if the guy gets pissed at you, and - out of spite - decides to make a complaint about "unauthorized activity" on his account).

So, tonight I remembered that I signed up for Ifriends ages ago. I think I used it once and forgot about it. Out of curiosity, I went to check it out, and now I have a really silly question.
I tried to stream a little with the cam zoomed in on my tits, just to test how much CPU the site requires. At some point, I pushed the pause button, but then guys continued to enter my room, and one of them asked what was wrong with my video. That made me seriously question what the pause button does from the guys' perspective. On most sites, it would clearly indicate that I was on a break, but apparently that's not obvious on ifriends. I tried to check my room from another browser, but just got the loading circle of death. I tried to check around and see if I could find another model that was paused, but there doesn't seem to be any way to tell for sure.
So can anyone explain exactly what happens when you press the pause button? Does the button actually work at all? Do they see the opaque wrapper, or a blank screen, or an endless loading circle? Can they still hear you if you haven't pushed the mute button?
Also, are there limitations to the pause button, like the way SM disconnects after 10 minutes of break?
SylvySinclair
07-08-2016, 07:17 AM
when the guy clicks ur profile, it says: Im away for the moment, check back later. and all it shows to him if he still decides to pop into ur room is a blank screen, since some guys are new, they dont know what the blank screen means as they didnt even read that u were away. lol

I have only been on here between 1-2 weeks, but there isn't much traffic. This is a good site for splitcamming- which is what I do... That being said I think the quality of traffic here is much better than the other websites I am on. If I only get maybe 7-10 people in my room for a whole 7 hrs I'm on I'd say about 2 of them will pay me. There are annoying retards that like to ogle u endlessly and u say a sales line they just don't get it- u can even invite them to private here and they still just dont get it. That is when I ban. I mean fuck. What is crazy is one of the guests (that can't chat with me in IF) somehow found me on skype lol that is awesome.
