For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
Hey girls!
For those of you that promote an Amazon wishlist (or other wishlist for that matter), how do you maintain your privacy when it comes to where they ship your gifts? I'm assuming there's no way around them seeing, at least, what city you are in unless you have a PO Box in a different city. That seems like a lot of work, if so ... how do you girls do it? Does it worry you that they know what city you are in? Have you run into any problems with it?

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
i use edenfantasys for my main wishlist - they maintain total privacy of your name and address (and they have some other great programs, like affiliate and review stuff). i accept gift cards from other places. i've been thinking about putting up an amazon wishlist but i'm kind of concerned about them knowing what city i'm in...though i've considered putting in my partner's address instead (different city) or getting a po box here (just in case). still on the fence about it, though.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
I know I've accepted amazon gift cards and the gentlemen pick out what they want me to buy and send me the exact dollar amount for the product and to ship. I then use the product and ship to my PO box.
That should stay private right? Because I can't imagine that the person who bought it is getting info on what I bought with a gift card and all my info though I'm still careful.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
yes, gift cards are totally private, thank goodness :) i love that idea! it's a clever way to make guys feel like they are picking out what they want for you but to still protect your privacy with amazon.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
yeah, plus you never know-- sometimes you find something better that you want more ;)
I had a sweetheart give me money for really expensive bed sheets but I just couldn't commit to spending that much when the reviews were iffy, so I combined it with a $50 gift card I'd gotten and bought one nice set of sheets that were 1/3 the price, a pair of cheap satin sheets, a cheapie blender, and a cheapie juicer.
I sent him a really nice thank you note and explained I got two sets of sheets instead of one but didn't mention the kitchen appliances :)

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
There are a few threads (or at least posts on threads) about this.
From what I've read, camgirls have had customers call (or e-mail, whatever they do...) and cancel the order after a show. Then the model is out the money for the show. I've also heard of girls who "hid" their private info, only to have it show up anyway. There's a way to put certain address info on certain lines so that doesn't happen. It's in another thread. If you search, it will probably come up.
But even then, I'd be worried about chargebacks. There are some cheap guys and guys who don't do their "research" before shows and want things you just don't do, and are thus dissatisfied. I'm sure the camsites get a bunch of daily chargebacks from guys who regretted spending the money even if they loved the show, who didn't listen when girls said, "no, I don't do that in private" then got mad when they didn't see it, or even the guys who get mad when the girl isn't naked immediately and will do a chargeback for the minute he actually paid for. Blah.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
I've spent lots of time talking to the Amazon customer service people and there is NO WAY to hide the CITY & State. Their reply is "if your so worried about your privacy you can set your wish list to private" ... umm thanks Amazon guys...
Other than that pray you live in a large city or tell guys your mail is forwarded from X City and State to your made up hometown.
Second make sure you have not [x] marked third party shipping on with wishlist options. Marking this YES will give out your address... ALL OF IT. Any items you want that arent directly filled by amazon just ask for gift cards for these items.
Third-party item shipping
[ ] Yes, let Amazon.com share my wish list shipping address with third-party merchants to ship purchases from this wish list.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
i don't use wishlists at all for tangible items. i just use e-gift cards. i have an amazon wishlist with lots of e-gift cards on it. victoria's secret, amazon itself, sephora & american eagle. then if a custy wants to buy me something, he sends me a card via email & i buy whatever it is or just whatever i want if there's not something particular he wants to give me. the only thing he ever sees is your email address. totally rad!

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
I think I will start a wish list! Great idea!

That's what happened to me, and it's a good thing I tested it out (to see how it looked from others' point of view)...otherwise lots of guys would've been able to see my real name and location.
I stick with Amazon e-gift cards, and I just give people my alternate e-mail address (not my primary one).
Also, I've read that when a guy is spending money on a gift to you, if he really wanted to, he could use the tracking info to find out where the package was shipped to. I guess Amazon figures 'Well HE paid for it...he has a right to know where it got delivered.' :( That's not a risk I'm willing to take, so yeah...e-gift cards is what I'll stick with.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
I use a local private mailbox service (pakmail, postnet, etc NOT a PO box) and the initials of my "stagename".
So my wishlist shipping address looks like this:
CGN
123 My Street #987,
MyCity, State 12345
This way I can receive ALL shipments to that address, I have a safe place to receive mail and packages, and no one gets my home address. I use this for all my mail, billing addresses, everything. I don't ever put my home address on anything online, ever. I would advise anyone to do the same.
It may be cheaper or more convenient to use a home address, but it is NOT the safe thing to do.
Some people who are even hiding what city they're in, can use to receive your packages and have them forwarded to you. This would be most convenient for ladies outside the US who want to take advantage of all the stuff available on amazon.com () and have it forwarded to your non-US location ;)
For US ladies, it's cheaper and simpler to just get gift cards emailed to you, then buy what you want for yourself. That way no one can see what you purchase, your name or address at all. They can't see anything except the gift card was redeemed. I have checked this myself.
As for canceling orders: It's true that buyers can cancel their merchandise orders on amazon for a short period of time after order placement. But they CANNOT cancel gift card orders at all! So if you are taking gift $ for cam time, ALWAYS make them send you gift cards!!!

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
I use a fake name and an email address set up especially. I have the items sent to my boyfriends work place under my fake name and then he tells reception that its for him under his gf's name. He works in a big college so if they wanted to go there and try to find somone with my fake name then they are pretty much shit out of luck, and if they even found my boyfriend he would nut them anyways.
but i only put on stuff from amazon directly only. and my city and town are set to the same thing so it only shows as like 'england - england' haha.
oh and i dont accept gifts for shows - i accept gifts for gifts only - meaning nothing in return lol.
if its for a show i take only a gift card. and i enter the code before the show so they cant ever get it abck.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
So what are some other stores that do ecards?
amazon is easiest.
Then there's Sephora and Ulta.
Someone mentioned American Eagle.
Any other ones worth using?
-
Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
i have my info entered into my wish list like so:
my stage name
c/o First initial of real name plus real surname
street address, suburb
local major city
state
postcode, country
the stuff in bold is what the custy sees. i'm open about the major city i live in, but i chuck the suburb on the line above it to keep that info discreet.
i only put items on my wishlist that directly ship from amazon so that third parties don't pass on my info.
although, as other people have mentioned, i've heard stories of privacy fuck ups even when these precautions are taken. hasn't happened to me yet though.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
i do the same as she does.. but its always some1 at my house plus a pitbull so they can try if they want to.. but that attitude wont work of course if u living by yourself w no mase or any form of protection
-
Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
I won't ever be using Amazon wishlists. Nope, too paranoid. Although I love the concept. If only the security was better! Just send me a gift card to my email for now and use my wishlist as a reference.

victoria secret is good. but it does take a couple days for the gift card to clear.
one time a guy said he sent me 500 dollars and i just assumed he was lying until i got it like 5 days later :D .

I think it's important to highlight that third party sellers on amazon do show the shipping address and name to the buyer, and I don't fully trust that they can't see it on amazon orders, so I rather use a private mailbox with my camgirl initials so there's NO risk of anyone getting my home address.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
I have a PO Box with a fake name in another city.

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
Ah great idea about the mail service in ny then have it forward to my uk address! Save me a few quid on flights to ny to buy stuff that I want just ask for the e card then buy and send to there! Thanks for the tip xx

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
why don't you just get a cheap PO box in a different city and have them automatically forward it to your home address? you could even get one in a different state and have them forward it to your home address... that way you wouldn't run the risk of going to ur PO box to pick up ur shit and have someone stalking u there, AND they wouldn't know the REAL city/state you live in.
any thoughts?

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
Not sure if people keep saying PO box because that's what you're calling a private mailbox (very different) or if you're actually talking about a Post Office box, but a PO box is basically useless for this because you can't receive packages there which are shipped via UPS, Fedex, DHL etc. You want a private mailbox so you can receive ALL packages there and not just mailed stuff. Plus a private mailbox at a locally-owned store (ie, not UPS store) is more private.

I use a PO box, and only once I haven't been able to receive an item. Just check on amazon where it's shipping from. And then if whoever is buying it says they can't ship to a PO box, have them purchase it from another seller (like where it says "25 new & used" or whatever, chances are one of the new sellers ships usps)

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
I'm getting a UPS box soon since they'll just mail everything to me and I won't have to go get it. As it is, I've moved recently, and my Amazon packages were going to my folk's place. I'd personally love to see a guy go up and knock on the door only to get my super sexy, grey-haired and pot-bellied Dad at the door ;)

Re: For camgirls w/ Wishlists ...
I'm not too concerned...to start with, I have geographic blocking, so unless they are using a proxy (damn them) I'm not going to be dealing with anyone in my city anyway.
Then I have items sent to my stage name at my work address. So my actual address is protected. And if anyone actually looked it up, and came to my work address from another city (which seems like a helluva lot of work, honestly. I doubt anyone would bother) they would be met by a group of large tattooed men that care about me like family (and bought me a taser when I was dancing...just in case...lol). I feel completely safe there.
But if it is something that worries you, then just go the gift card route!
