Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
Ugh, just got my first chargeback. It's not that much (less than 15% of my average since I started actually streaming on IML but since I didn't work my first couple pay periods I'm guessing they dragged my average down) but that was a nasty surprise. I can't remember but based on the time I'm guessing it was one of the long talkers. Do guys who CB disappear off of everyone's guest files? I wanted to send him a "Thanks for the chargeback, dickhead" message but I'm guessing IML wouldn't approve. :P

That guy likely deleted his account and thats why he disappeared from guest files. The only way to see anything of him is searching his name on this page http://host.imlive.com/account_GuestSearch.asp and that will just show all his so called transactions. If they make CB and dont delete, yeah you could send him a message alright.. That sucks he got you like that. Im sure it is because of that "more than 15% of the average of what, 6 pay periods" thing. To tell the truth, I missed/got confused about that part the first few times I read over their deal, thinking it was 15% of the current pay period.

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
Is it normal for IML to send you an email saying you should update your cover photo or whatever? I think someone named John sent it to me. I was kind of offput, to be honest, because its the same photo I use for SM, and I don't want to give free shows of my boobs...everything else I have is bare ass shots and I'm pretty sure those aren't allowed. Not majorly concerned, just wondering.
ETA: OK, so now IML is saying no chargebacks EVER??!

Sorry to hear about the chargeback. I'd wanna message the asshole too, if I were you, so I don't blame you.
But I think that when a member does a chargeback, he's banned from the site and his name disappears from your mailing list files (therefore there's no way to message him). I think that's how it works...not sure. But my question is...if that is how it works, then why do models on the ImLive forums warn each other about members who do chargebacks? If doing a cb gets guys banned from the site, then other models don't have to worry about those members, right? Well, unless those members wind up coming back with new accounts...

Yeah this is what I thought too, but unfortunately they do not always ban them (see post from Roast quoted below).
Pisses me off to no end that members are allowed to STEAL from me and the site and still put me at risk yet again.

And I did contact Customer Service in each case but was told it was just an error that was fixed and there was no reason to ban them from the site --- but of course Im free to ban them myself. So unfortunately making a point to ban each person who is a CB may be a good idea? Esp if people post the guys by name in the forums.

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
Hello ladies, one question pls, does IML allow taboo roleplay at all? One guy wanted me to play bigger sis and i told him i am not sure it's allowed. I see on site girls with usernames URLILNAUGHTYGIRL, DADDYSGIRL, so on, not sure if mom/son and bro/sis are allowed cause obviously dad/girl is.
By the way, the rules listed on ImLive pvt chat window are:
"Please be advised that promoting defecation or any bodily excretions is strictly prohibited on ImLive. This also includes vomiting, drawing blood, or any self-infliction of pain to the point of physical harm. Should you be found to be engaging in such acts, your account will be frozen and subject to investigation and you might forfeit all earnings."
So nothing about age play or other roleplays.
Thank You, cant hear to read what u ladies have to say xxx

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
@AliceFun: All I know is that ImLive is one of the more strict cam sites. I remember when they had given a bunch of us warnings for having the phrase 'school girl' in our profiles. They said that if you're gonna use the phrase 'school girl', you must have '18+' beside it...otherwise you will be suspended/banned.
If you're in doubt about something being within the rules, you should e-mail Customer Service with an inquiry and/or ask on the model forum.

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
i would ask in the model forum C/S is rude and they skim thru shit like SM does they just get back to faster so its not as bad as SM where it can take a day or two for them to get back to u

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
IML is now accepting online checks for payment, I notice. They must have just started accepting payment this way, Its always been credit card or wire transfer in the past. Cool.

They wont always get banned, they get the chance to pay up and are on the blacklist, They cant buy credits to see anyone until they pay their debt, When they dont want to pay up, some will come back with new accounts. And they arent very creative with the names or how they behave in prvt 99% of the time.

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
^ If they eventually pay up do the models who received the chargebacks get paid or does it all get pocketed by IML?

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
awesome that they now accept checks for guests to purchase credits. we need more options. Keep the name of the guest who did the cb, if you see him online and esp if he comes back to your live chat, that means he paid his cb back. but so far you have to ask for it. I had a guy once pay his cb back, he came in my room, i was like, i thought he was on the black list. so i emailed silvia, sure nuf i got the money back. so keep a watch on your guys who do this. im so sorry you have to go through this. I think eventually they will come up with a way to automatically pay us our cb back, for now this is what we have to do. and watch the forums cause if someone mentions his name, you can assume he paid it back, otherwise how would he be able to buy credits ya know? best wishes to you

wow.
In all the years I've been on ImLive I have never ever ONCE gotten paid for a chargeback later. So since you asked, they paid you?
Now this makes me think they have been actually cheating me by keeping the money. I honestly thought they were banned until Roast posted about it.
WHY should i have to keep track of these assholes who stole from me? WTF am I giving a percentage to ImLive for then? Are they not supposed to handle the billing? If I'm going to have to track down chargebacks and hunt them down I want way more than 30 to 35%!!!!

i wrote to cs a few years ago over a similar situation to verterancamgirl's, and I was also given my money back. Wasnt much, but still. And yes, was a pain in the ass to get done. It probably wouldnt hurt to write and ask if there are any refunds due to you, since there is no automatic system of refunds as far as I know at the moment. Hopefully we will get it and maybe better ways of navigating our guest files/ transaction history.

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
laurielegs, its like this, I seen a guy join my discount club and remembered he did a cb on me in the past, so then i knew he must have paid it back, so i emailed them and said he bought credit so did he pay it back, they said yes and immediately credited my account. so i wasnt keeping track of him , it just so happen that i remembered him. I hope we never have to worry about this again, they are really working hard to change things on the site, lets not focus on negative, stay positive and things will work out, they always do muahhhhhhhhhhh

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
I hope everyone has an amazing weekend. Its raining here and I have to venture out for the day. How can the flowers grow if the rain never comes? How can we grow as profitable business people without having learned lessons along the way through trials and tribulations? Best wishes for everyone muahhhhhhhhhhhh

Same here....I'll "think about it".... I started there 6 years ago. I still have my account, but when I raised my prices to $4.80 a minute, it tapered off. Sorry but charging anything less just isn't going to happen. I'm $5.99 on SM and have no problem getting shows.

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
whats the highest you can charge on SM? I havent been there but a couple times and dont know the site well. I didnt get much traffic when I was on, I do ok on iml but I was just wondering, as Im searching around muahhhhhhhhhhhhhh have a great day !!
-
Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
The highest price, at default is 4.99. You can message support and have them increase your rate as high as 14.99 per minute. :)

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
Arghh! Is anyone else having major tech problems today? Normally under the cam options I have three choices (my cam, my integrated cam, and splitcam.) Now it's showing as 4 or 5 cams with different numbers and my feed keeps going out even as I'm looking at my room. A lot of the time it'll be fine, then suddenly the video is out but the audio (which is coming from the same source!) is still going... and as I'm checking my room it says I've logged off (even though it doesn't tell me on my end.)
I was whining about this out loud to essentially no one, as people were in my room but who knows what they could see/hear.
"What is going on with all these glitches? I just wanna masturbate! I JUST WANNA MASTURBATE!"

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
Lots of glitches this weekend for me as well. Though I did not have the "going offline" one, or new extra cameras showing up, for a while my preview video pane looked all screwed up, I kept "falling out of the party" and had to log back on over n over. Definitely issues happening. Here's to a smoother running week ahead..

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
Damn. I logged into ImLive, and when this guy buzzed me for private I noticed that my video froze up. I accepted his private request just so I could immediately type to him that I'll "BRB." I exited and re-entered, and then the video's been fine from that point on. But he hasn't come back. :( I'm not splitcamming, I wasn't running ManyCam or any other software, and I have a good internet connection. So maybe it was just one of those occasional 'when shit gets fucked up' moments.
Also, I wish we could message guys first without them having done private (of more than 20 seconds).
-
Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
I agree about that brownfox. I wish we could message them easier. We miss potential income. and dang 14.99 a min LOL one good show and my day would be done tee hee thank you for this info. I appreciate it. Everyone here is so helpful. wishing everyone a fabulous day !!

Re: ImLive- No Charge backs
Is that on IML that you need to have your face constantly in front of cam ? I have seen someone mention it but I don't remember if it was on Iml, cams or webcams
