Re: CHARGEBACKS!! Grrrrr!
Yes! I started a new account on there in June and I've gotten at least 4 chargebacks so far. They total to about $81. Its weird because chargebacks usual take 30 days to clear but I've seen some customers get refunded within a couple of mins after the show. I've also noticed that they don't refund all of the shows its just certain one's. Which makes me question why there getting a refund in the first place. I thought they could only do chragebacks if the credit card was stolen/fraudulent activity. But if it was a stolen credit card they would've been refunded for all of the shows not just 2 or 5. I never blocked anyone on cams but now I've blocked all the customers who did chargebacks.
I rarely ever got chargebacks on my old account and it definately wasn't in this short amount of time. I only use cams.com as a backup site via splitcamming but if I keep getting chargebacks then I'm not working there anymore. I've started to ask myself what are they really offer for 35%. They don't have nearly as much traffic as SM and they don't cover charge backs with the 65% there taking. Before I use to get 100% of fan club now you have to work a certain amount of hours to get 100% of fan club.

Re: CHARGEBACKS!! Grrrrr!
Chargebacks, they suck. That's why I will actually take a site with a lower % over one that allows chargebacks. It's just not worth it to me to do the work, and then find out that the money isn't mine after all.
Re: CHARGEBACKS!! Grrrrr!
oh doll..chargebacks are the worst!! I feel for you.
Re: CHARGEBACKS!! Grrrrr!
35% and they don't cover chargebacks????? Srsly, what are they doing with their 65% if it's not at least partially going to covering chargebacks? That's messed up.
I could see *possibly* taking the risk of losing money on chargebacks if I were getting a bigger percentage but for 35%? No way.
Re: CHARGEBACKS!! Grrrrr!
iFriends is rife with non payers and guys with buyers remorse.
It is worse on one psychic site I do readings on. Had one lady who literally ran up a bill of over 100k visiting different readers. Most of the readers were $9.99 to $20 a minute to talk to. All of her sessions were charged back/disputed as fraud about 4 months later. She had been using her bosses corporate credit card to get all these readings. Imagine going to check your earnings (this site we only get paid once a month) and seeing you are in the NEGATIVE and owe the site 14k because of this one person. Quite a few readers were out hundreds if not thousands because of this one person. The site actually worked out where the reader could pay back the amount over time. These are readers who are making large amounts of money, figure 10k+ a month.
So, cam girls aren't the only ones who get screwed over by people playing games with others credit cards or pretending they never had a show, would never go on an adult site etc... I think though, it's tougher on cam girls due to the physicality of the situation. I would be much more annoyed if I was effing my this and that for an hour and not get paid than I would if I were reading someones chart and counseling them.

I seem to remember that it turns out to be more like 28 or 25% if I'm not mistaken because they charge the host for credit card processing or some such crap.
Re: CHARGEBACKS!! Grrrrr!
Laurie you're right. It's 29% if you choose the 45% option.
