Ugh, got my first chargeback today. Luckily it was only 10 or so credits but the guy left negative feedback for me, too, and I don't have very many ratings since it's my first month. I believe it's unwarranted because I didn't get the impression that he didn't enjoy the session but at the same time he was never very clear about what he wanted:
Asshat_x1: hi there
Asshat_x1: are you into big cocks?
Asshat_x1: what size you like?
Asshat_x1: i dont have a cam
Asshat_x1: i like sluts who get naked for big cocks only
Asshat_x1: what size is your dildo?
Asshat_x1: suck it for me
Asshat_x1: you would get naked for 6?
Asshat_x1: from 5.5 to 6 depending on days
Asshat_x1: like your dildo
Asshat_x1 leaves the room
When he was clear, I did exactly what was asked. Thing is, I was in free chat at the time so he could have discussed what he wanted beforehand, but he went straight to private. He left the negative feedback immediately so I still had his chat in my window.
This morning I woke up to the "manual escrow," which sucks because I still have to pay the JCI fee plus his feedback still shows on my profile. However, because his comment is still there I see that he's changed his name. If anyone wants the two usernames I have for him, please PM me.
I did contact AW about this but I have low expectations of their helpfulness; ultimately, I don't care if he gets his credits back as long as the feedback goes with it. Somehow I doubt that.
They will not remove the feedback. The same thing happened to me a few months ago, 2 different members jumped into my group chat, and yes, I think they started talking about huge cocks too, at least one of them. Those use stolen credit cards too, because afterwards it always appears as "member not active". But seems they continue to make new accounts and continue to abuse the system in the same way. Posting the nicknames won't help much, as they keep changing them, and making new accounts.
Thanks, SexyAleks. Just as I suspected–that is so not fair since feedback is only for services that have been paid for! I know, I am crazy to expect fairness, LOL. Hopefully I can build up some more positive feedback to drum this one back.
Right now this user is still active, which is why I offered to share the nicks via PM. I would never post that info in the forums, though. "Asshat_x1" was my own name for him :P
I make more on C4S than AW on clip sales but it's easy to upload them there so it makes an easy extra income if you're already making clips. They're different markets though...AW guys are mostly after vanilla clips...quick wank material. Most girls go for quantity over quality, producing cheap clips that are small file sizes (AW have minimum pricing based on file size, unlike C4S which is based on time length). My clips sell better than my photos.
How well people do offering only paid chat is variable. I tend to start with 30 minutes in free (most girls find that's all they can stand of endless questions about whether they escort or not and if they like younger guys) and then I go into paid only and feature myself hourly. You can limit free chat to members only and 5 minutes. Movies can help promote you for cam, and my movie sales increase when I cam.
It's one of those "suck it and see" things.
Although they will not remove the negative you can dispute it and turn it into a nuetral. Go to your feedback click on Respond, you can then say he charged back, guys that bother to check fb will see this :) The rating then becomes a nuetral :). Sorry if you already knew but I thought it worth mentioning.
For girls outside of the UK working AW, do you have to wait a long time for action to take place on AW? It seems like as soon as I say I'm not in the UK, guys bail. Sometimes I don't have to say anything. They pop into my free chat and out again. It's a bit confusing. I give them 5 min of free every 24 hours. Figured that much free chat wouldn't bother me, but the problem is guys don't stick around even with free. I could lie and say I'm in the UK but they'd still see my profile and see I'm in the US. Any tips with this issue, or that's just how it is for non UK girls?
^ I find that lots of guys bounce in and out, and I'm from the UK :)
I have an account on AW but its so confusing and too many things need to be filled out lol. But im going to give it a go
Happens to all of us! I'm from the UK and guys are always jumping in and out, sometimes I think it's because they are impatient and aren't waiting for the connection. Have to say it happens on SM too, so don't worry it's not you, it's them lol. BTW I also have the 5 mins in 24hrs, the most I can cope with lol.
Thank you ladies! I will just have to be patient. I'm new to it and only had a few privates since joining. One more question if I may. What resolution do you generally like to stream in? I see the larger the picture the costlier on the CPU the broadcast is. I didn't want to offer too large of a picture if men mostly get the smaller resolution, but then I also want them to get their money's worth when they do join me for a paid chat.
I prefer 640 x 480 resolution because I like to see myself in big screen, so I do it for myself mainly. In the past streaming in large resolution would make my laptop super hot and shut it down occasionally, but since I got a cooler, it is not an issue anymore. I don't think they care much about that, because as you said, to them the most important is whether you are from/in UK, and not what quality your video is.
I use that resolution too. If you look at who's online and in paid using this page http://www.adultwork.com/TV/Categories.asp you can see that the majority in private are charging less than 1 credit and are not from the UK. One guy told me he likes the Russian girls because they have very clear feed and use webcams with a zoom.
I guess the daytime crowd that goes for privates is cheaper than the evening/night. I often get those "where u from bb" (often they spell where as "were"), and once they hear anything different from UK, they leave the room immediately. Regardless, they sound to me like freeloaders and not ones willing to spend money, looking for cheap/free dates. It gets to me in a negative way, because they make it look as if the only obstacle for a possible meeting is the distance, and not their cheap/dumb/disrespectful overall attitude and douchebaggery. It's also annoying because it's not like our countries are hidden or anything like that.
i really dont understand why it matters where we are sm and adultwork both post where u r right in the profile. from reading around here and talking to a few other camgrils i think it causes unwarranted and unnecessary discrimination. were all there for these guys RIGHT NOW thru the internet when were live is it really their business to know what country were in does it matter at all??? i really dont think so :/
In an ideal world, no, it should not matter. In practice, they want everything to be easy, cheap and living next door to them and available for sex 24/7. The typical attitude of people who think it's their right to meet us, without putting any efforts.
Then whats stopping you from saying that youre from London when they ask where youre from?
It says youre not allowed to display a country in your profile that you are not staying in.
Says nowhere you cant "roleplay" that youre a US girl in London.
And if they ask where youre from.. then they didnt read your profile and real country of residence.
So who cares?
I think that's the right thing to do. It doesn't pay well to be honest and straightforward on cam.
Guys on AW come for cam, phone, and escort services, AW also started out as an escort site. So lots of the guys are looking for a real life meet, but lots of them just like to talk about it and fantasize about meeting you.. lots of girls also lie and say they escort when they don't, again, it adds to the fantasy of them thinking they could possibly fuck you for real..
I guess some of the guys on AW are put off by non-UK girls, as opposed to say MFC or SM guys, who know it's a camsite, lots of the guys on AW come to look for an escort/camgirl they can try to pursuade to meet them.
Edit: Lots pop in and out from my free chat too. Some go in 5 seconds, some say hi and leave etc.. and sometimes it goes empty!
I think the pop-in and out of free chat got worse after the new version of JustCamIt, as if something is kicking them out. On the other hand, I like the guys who come and talk and fantasize about meeting, as long as they do it in private chat. Those privates are easy, long and the guys are polite and respectful. But if they try and make this talk in free chat, another story...
Just say in your profile that you do NOT escort and then you are not misleading them.
As if guys are honest on cam..
Every single guy in my AW room is tall - dark and handsome with an above average penis.
Nothing wrong with girl next door roleplaying.
Also, Im in the UK and I get lots of guys popping in and out.
Tbh, if i would be a guy and I would see a girl thats not my type I would leave without wasting money by typing "sorry, youre not exactly what im looking for, but have a nice day sweetheart".
This is a help article that explains the change with the new justcamit version: http://www.adultwork.com/dlgKBArticle.asp?ArticleID=695
We have been receiving some complaints about loss of revenue since the new version(s) of JustCamIt have been launched.
If you are having technical problems and to get a general feel for things, please ensure you have read this article.
There have been some improvements made to JustCamIt 3 that may change the way clients enter and exit rooms looking for hosts that match their preferences. These changes are most likely to affect hosts who do not offer free preview. Alternatively some hosts are configuring their cams inccorectly putting an unworkable load on their computer.
1 .Entry Speeds & Free Preview?
Version 2.1 of JustCamIt had a serious flaw in that it did not compensate properly for misconfigured cams, (of which about 85% of non-studio cams are). When clients went to view such a cam it could take up to 20 seconds for the video to appear. With version 3 this misconfiguration is now down to about 6% of non-studio cams and video load time is down to around 2 or 3 seconds.
The knock on effect of this is that clients can now enter rooms and quickly determine if they should stay or go, based on their tastes. Accordingly, those service providers who don't offer free preview are going to see a drop in revenue. The client does not have to wait 20-30 seconds to see you and you do not get the chance to start chatting to them in that time to keep them in-session once your video appears to them.
Members that do offer free preview should not see any difference as the client has already seen the host and knows what to expect.
There are two solutions to this, giving the client an idea of your appearance in advance of a paid session:
Offer Free Preview.
Allow Live Thumbnails
Both can be configured via the 'Edit DirectCam Settings' button on your Edit Profile Page.
2. PC Performance and Capabilities
Perhaps to take advantage of the new HD Cams Page, or simply through misunderstanding, some hosts have their video size set too large within JustCamIt (Video Menu). Many PCs are running at 100% CPU usage. If CPU usage is above 70% your PC will start to have problems meeting the needs of JCI and other system services.
If you are seeing CPU usage above 70% then you either need to make your video size smaller, e.g. 320x420, or invest in more suitable hardware. Anyone running on a PC bought in the last few years should be fine. (You may be able to free up some CPU by ensuring no unnecessary programs are running.)
The successful operation of JustCamIt and DirectCam are key to the success of the Site and changes are not made lightly. If members are offering webcam services as something more than a hobby they must ensure they have made the relevant investment in that equipment that they use.
Any member having problems with JustCamIt should ensure they have read this article.
Sorry if this has been explained, but please bare with me. In regards to the location thingy I'm currently in the states, but travel to England a few times a year. The last time I was there I tried to change my location, but was not allowed. Also at that time I was a member of a group on AW. The group member accessed my account with permission of course. And I too would access my account from the UK and I got something on my profile that said
Location: America accessing out of the UK
So that right there is how many people who falsify there location get busted and banned. I do not want this to happen to me. I love AW and do very well on there despite being from the US. My question is can I create a second account for when I travel? Would this be within the rules of the site. Even if it's an unverified account, but I only use it for when I'm in the UK? I asked this question in an email and never received a response.
There is no need to have another account. I have a friend who is Romanian but cams when she is in UK. They ask her to prove with actual photos that she really is in UK and only after this her regional settings are changed.
I am terrible liar is why I don't bother lying. Lol I will have to give it a try. I must not be what UK men like. I am not "American" by blood but US guys melt with my smile. Lol Onto more serious things, igot an i5 last spring to split cam but it does not look like ill be able to. SM is very cpu hungry even without the encoder (using hd wide in browser setting), and with the new software on AW in high resolution my cpu goes over 70%. Seems abnormal to me for a new laptop with enough memory. Total poo. :(
