chargebacks on IMlive.com
OMG i just got my chargebacks at $104 from the same blasted guy who i thought was a genuin customer, he had been changing his user name which i couldn understand why till i got my charge backs and they were all from him, i try to go through my guest list to block him and lo and behold, his accounts arnt there, what a scam, i thought he was a genuin nice guy, ive been conned of $104 i fuming becoz i only started on wed, did 3 days and thout i made $350 whish is good goin for some one who has only jus started in my opinion, and now 104 hav been taken from me coz of some cheap skate loser, grrrrrrr this is never happening to me agen for sure, least i learnt early on rather than later. to top it off the exchange rate for british pounds is crap at the mo, i was gonna get just over £200 now im gona get £150 :(.

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
I'm sorry and that really sucks but I hear that all the time about Imlive. I would look for work elsewhere. That is a bad start for your new job. I would be so pissed, too. *hug*

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
well there opening a new site in a couple days that says there no charge backs, so im gonna see what that is like.
ive been readin forum and one poor girl is leaving after 2yrs due to over $400 in chargebacks, its sick how men abuse the chargeback system, but i guess if they get away with it then there gonna do it aint they.
if the new site isnt any better ill be goin somewhere else, thank you :)

Hi babe,
Sorry to hear that happened to you.

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
Sorry to hear that Jess. My chargeback was only 10 cents from a peeper so no big deal to me, but the girl who lost $417 in her earnings? Another girl last night said she lost over $360? That is horrible! Since I have worked there, I have noticed that anytime we accept the active members it results in a chargeback. So far I have not had any chargebacks from gold and vip members. Silver happens a few times. Jess, if I were you I would NOT accept a member who keeps changing his name. That is too suspicious. I have had maybe 2 guys in the past who have two different user names, I guess for different credit card accounts, but those 2 guys have been seeing me over a year. But if I get a new guy who comes pvt for a short amount of time, then he comes back with a name that is different and he is maybe a silver member or less, then I get paranoid and block his ass. Call me paranoid but I really would be sick to my stomach if I got over $100 in chargebacks allll the time. Thank god imlive is launching this new site with no chargebacks. Jess are you excited about the count down to the new site? I do pretty well on imlive as it is, so I am looking forward to the extra % and no chargebacks. I have always thought imlive was decent to work for, and with no chargebacks, and a higher commission I would have to call them the best. I honestly don't have much luck on other sites. Every other site that I have tried has NOT worked out for me. I just signed up for webcams.com and have asked for a little help, but they have not responded to me, and neither has anyone on the forums :( this seems to be a problem on other sites as well, but at least at imlive they will respond to me asap and help me with any questions I have. Hang in there Jess! Just give it a chance, put in the hours, and watch out for them active members, and I swear you will do very well! Sorry again about chargebacks :(

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
ya that sucks. I never got a cb on webcams.com.

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
josiecamgirl, im excited for the new site :D the no chargebacks will be a relife, no worrys about the custmers bein cheap asses then, i wonder how there gonna prevent it, and yeah the extra % is gonna be great, its not by much but it will deffo add up for sure. im currently on my period so ive taken sum time off but i shall be working my arse off when i get back on :D
i do feel for the girls that got a really high chargeback, ide be gutted at that amount. ill keep in mind about silver members, i never thought of it that way, but hey you gotta learn some way.

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
what i dont understand is, if the new site has a way to prevent cb's then why cant they impliment that on imlive too? CB's hurts both the model and imlive, they dont get paid either, so you'd think they would be trying to get rid ofit. I cant imagine losing 300-400 in cb thats insane and worse in one pay period. Thats alot of work to do for free.
Even though Streamate has their issues (pro's and cons) i like knowing atleast im gaurenteed to get paid for every minute i do.

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
and i dont understand how being on the blacklist, especially for a cb doesnt automatically ban ur ip address from the site
-
Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
i dont understand either, but hey, new sites up in a couple days, no chargebacks, so im happy enough. :)

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
missginger, great questions! If the new site doesn't have chargebacks then why not imlive? And why the hell are ip addresses not banned? It's very frustrating to wonder if I let this member in, will I actually get paid for this show? I am just happy they are launching this new site with higher pay (for now) and no cb's. Sometimes I turn down alot of active members because I'm scared they wont honor their payments. At least on the new site I can let every single paying member into my private, and KNOW that I'm getting paid!
***Jess*** hey hun, you can still work on your period hehe. That is a huge topic of discussion on the tips forum every month.

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
so what is the new site address?
-
Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
the site address hasnt been released yet. was supposed to launch tonight at middnight but today they announced they were post poning it for a week. so we'll find out next week !!
-
Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
The suspense is killing me! I was thinking that based on the date the new site launches, we may get paid every week now. I wish they would hurry up. I am way too anxious for this to happen! =D

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
***Josiecam*** How do you work on a period? i know the like sponge tricks and what not, but im too scared to do all that lol, at work i usually jus cut the string off a tampon, easy enough when ur lapdancing, im comin to the end of it anyways, so ill be up and running agen in no time :D
im excited for the launch :D i hope they dont push it back again.
oh another question i have difficulty with, do you do more than one private at once? i mean, its hard enough with the one lol, ive only been doing one at a time, do you ask the guy if its ok for sumone else to join? it sorta confuses me whats the done thing, at first i accepted them all, but one guy left becoz there was more than him in my private so i thought i was being rude by lettin more than one in private.

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
You can tuck in the tampon string, and try not to focus the cam too much down there :) I have huge boobs, so they mostly want to see me doing things from the boobs up, but when I do use a toy while on my period, I try not to have the cam focus so much on me playing with myself, plus you can kind of act like your playing with yourself without actually sticking the toy all the way in.
I don't always do more than one private at a time, but sometimes when I am low on reaching my daily cash goal, then I will let more than one guy in. I don't normally ask if it's ok, because they can't see what each other type if they are typing. The only thing that could get you caught is if they get on cam and start making noise which doesn't happen all the time. If I let 2 or 3 in private at a time then I try to keep what I say very general so they don't think I am speaking to others while I am giving the show. If you read some girls ratings and reviews, you will see that some guys have given them bad reviews because the girl was not able to multi task the show. I take it that the girls were not able to focus on more than 1 guy at a time. You want to avoid bad reviews at all costs, Jess! So I would not reccomend doing it yet if you are not sure you can handle 2 or more guys AND give a great show! I rarely let more than 1 guy in! Getting less than 5 stars can hurt your business, and we all strive to be number 1 and hopefully Hof. I am hoping that with the extra time that I now have, I can dedicate full time hours and reach Hof. You need to make at least 1200 per pay period to be in the top 120. And yes, a few guys may think it rude to have more than 1 in the room. Also ask the girls on the tips forum how they handle more than 1 guest. they may also have a few good tips to help you out.
Oh I hope they don't push back the site any further! I am so ready to be on the other site!

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
Yes I am sure it is biweekly, but if we are starting on the new site on february 23, and get paid 2 weeks later, then that means the check for the new site should fall around the 8th or 9th of march which would be one week after the check from imlive. Even though both sites pay biweekly I was thinking we would get a payment every week, unless the 1st pay period of the new site ends on February 28

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
***Josiecam***
Thanks for the tips on the period stuff, ill give it ago next time, just dead conscouse (cant spell that word) about it lol.
$1200 dont seem tooooo much, ill give it a damn good go, ive been thinking of only dancing 1 night a week while its still quiet at work, been sooooo dead, and fridays seem to be better than sats atm, and when i know i could be makin more at home, its sorta soul destroying lol.
I think ill stick to 1 private at a time, and yeah ide hate to have a bad review, ide like to think i try my best to give the customer what he/she wants, and a bad review would be upsetting.
i hope its not pushed back either, and i get your idea on weekly pay, that be cool to get a weekly pay, one from IMlive, then week later one from the new site and so on :D.

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
from the standpoint of credit card processors, there isn't any way to prevent chargebacks to the credit card merchant account which logged the original charges. So if a webcam host is announcing a 'no chargeback' policy towards payments to its webcam girls, this is being accomplished by the web host 'eating' the chargeback out of 'their end' of the 50/50 split. This sounds good from the webcam girls' perspective ... but does pose a financial risk to the webcam host that may wind up rearing its ugly head in another form in the future.

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
Yes, imlive has said they will absorb the chargebacks so that we will not have to worry about terrible losses such as the girl last pay period who had 417 in chargebacks. I guess imlive is striving to be the best, and I will be right there with them if they can continue to improve. The amount of chargebacks is something that the girls and guys was having too much trouble with. So excited about their new site tomorrow! Hope it works out for everyone. Good luck and wish lots of money to all! =D

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
so the site is in beta at the mo, i can log in, just cant use the chat, my cam dosnt show, hopefully this will be rectified after the official launch. i am worried however, i heard that guys dont have to accepted to enter private, im not liking this. hmmmmm we shall see. no chargebacks tho is always good.
xx jess

Re: chargebacks on IMlive.com
I am able to log on and chat as usual, but not 1 private yet. and yes, I was told by cs on the other site that the guys can just enter private without permission. I am not liking that, but they still have to be in your room more than 2 minutes to give you a rating, so if you don't feel comfortable, just boot them b4 2 minutes. Also be careful because earlier today a girl said she only got 30% from her private, and it was suppsoe to be 42%. Her post is the only one on the other forum that I saw complaining about the wrong %, so I'm sure it is just a mistake, and we are still in beta. Plus imlive DID tell us hours ago to wait for the official launch to avoid the little glitches getting worked out. Don't know if you have had a chance to record your private sessions on imlive yet, but the other site makes us charge .99 per minute per recorded private session! That is NOT cool considering I charge 5.80 per minute on my recorded sessions on imlive, so what gives on that? I am thinking of deleting my videos from the new site, because im not cool with getting 35% of 99 cents on my videos! That's bullshit. One more thing....the new site has a special section featuring 99 cent girls! So guys will get on and see girls charging 99 cents, and say screw the rest of us who want to charge more than 3 bucks. Oh and free video chat really sucked on there as it seemed only imlive host were sitting in my chat room pretending to be customers! But it is all still new, so we shall see how it goes in the future. Good luck!
