    Default Another Panty Selling Thread.

    I did this when I was much younger and MUCH STUPIDER (gave out a bit too much personal info and I thank god no one stalked me!).

    I've decided on a site, what to sell. I need info on how to cover my ass since I live in a small town now.

    I'm going to be getting a PO BOX.

    Receiving Payments:
    How should I register the PO Box? I'm thinking my boyfriends name, but could I just put a company name/stage name? Any info on how to protect my identity as far the PO Box is concerned. I also don't want to run into trouble if I need to show ID and "prove" it's me.

    Alertpay - I'm guessing this is what I'd use for online transactions? How do I go about setting it up without showing my personal info? Does it work just like Paypal? I don't have a business license.

    Sending Stuff:
    I assume I can just make the return address my PO Box with my stage name? Can I get even more anonymous than that? I don't care about people knowing my city, just my name/street address, ect.

    It sounds like sending this stuff by USPS is asking for trouble, is UPS/FED-EX a good route? About the same price?

    Should I not ship overseas? I've done my fair share of non-adult eBaying and I know things can be opened at customs. I would also assume I wouldn't be as anonymous if I had to fill out a customs slip.

    Any other info would be great!!! Just want to hide my real name/street address *CITY IS FINE!* from every route there is to this - the website I sell on, way I accept payments, and way I ship the items.

    Thanks <3 <3

    They're panties. If they have to be return to sender, then have it returned to santa claus. Who cares? Drop them off at the post office box and don't put a return address.

    What is the problem here? Receiving payment is where you have to hide your identity. Do you really need to have people send you things? If not, why even get a pobox.

    Way to completely miss the point in a condescending manner.

    I plan on setting this up as a side business, selling several things per week. A portion of those customers are probably going to want to send me a Money Order since Alertpay is not exactly popular to the average person, and Paypal is not allowed. If it means the difference of me taking $100 for something over an issue of receiving payment, I'm going to explore every route possible to accommodate them.

    This actually brings up another question - can the sender of the Money Order "track" it to find out the name of the person it was cashed to?

    Not putting a return address when using USPS is stupid btw. I won't even get into the fact that the post office likes to open "Suspicious Mail". BUT, the USPS REQUIRES a return address on certain packages. If a package weighs more than 13 ounces it will need to be shipped priority, which requires a return address. Guess how much a pair of shoes weigh??? I'm also tempted to say if I decided to get any form of tracking on it I'm going to need to wait in line at the post office and the rude old lady is going to ask me where my return address is. This is all for USPS btw, which I clearly stated I most likely will not use!

    yerlifecoach - I'm very sorry if you haven't been successful in the Adult Industry enough to understand my concerns. Typically girls with a lot of fans that spend money on them year after year try not to give out their personal information. WELCOME TO STRIPPERWEB, please enjoy your stay.

    Yes, they can trace money orders. I'm not sure if it's to the name, but they can certainly find out which bank it was cashed at.

    Uhhh. I've seen a lot of panty-sellers that use the mailing address as the return address. I'm not sure how the post office views that, but I have seen it. I have a PO BOX under my business name & real name, and it's a nonissue. Whatever mail comes to your PO BOX you receive, no matter who it's addressed to. They would need a subpoena to get your real information from the post office about your box.

    I'm sure it would be more private to send your items through UPS - which offers comparable domestic rates (often cheaper for small items).

    Uhhh. As far as Alertpay, you have to set up your account a certain way, and I always forget to call them during business hours to figure out how to set it up....

    so as a result I always accept amazon giftcards.. which are untraceable and totally gifts so aren't going to affect my tax forms.

    So, yerlifecoach- you would ALSO want a POBOX so that the men could buy their preferred panties on Amazon and send them to you... it's one of the necessary items, I think, of adult webwork.

    Didn't realize people still used things like money orders in this day and age for smallish items. You can put a fake return address if you feel it is that important, it honestly doesn't matter. If the USPS opens up the package and finds stinky panties they're just going to put them back. I have drugs sent to me on the regular and they're never opened, and in packaging where you can't read the return address if you tried, because it is BS from the start, and this passes through customs. Domestic stuff no one fucks with. Dogs don't alert on stinky panties. This goes for USPS/UPS, they don't care. They just want to deliver your package and collect their money. Go google up a random address in your area and use that if you really think having a return address is important for shipping panties.

    Sorry for my flippant attitude, I need a lot of work on my life coaching.

    You could always have a male friend cash your money orders for you, because I am not 100% sure a money order could not be traced. I guess this is super hush hush and depends on having a close quality friend. Goodluck! You could also accept payment in prepaid visa's, etc.

    Yuki- thanks for your post. I have been thinking the same thing. I want to get a po box so I can start my wishlist for MFC. But privacy and safety is of utmost importance.
    One of the things I have found is: http://www.mailboxforwarding.com/pob...w=poboxrentals
    Seems to be a little on the expensive side. Also I am thinking of traveling to set up my box. Not sure if usps needs to have an in state liscence to set this up.
    But seriously glad you started the post.

    Np!! I'm going to dig up some more stuff tomorrow if I hit a slow spell at work, I'll keep you posted if I find anything

    I only skimmed because I'm literally going out the door for dinner, but how would that forwarding services work for your gift idea? It sounded like they open your mail and scan it.

    I don't think out of state would be in issue, I had a PO Box many years ago but I can't remember what exactly they asked of me, just that it was a very simple index-card asking information and handling them $20/them handing me the key. They probably have whats required on the site, I should probably take a look at it as well!

    I'm completely new at this, by the way.

    I've only sold panties once. I used my fake name that I use on MFC and also an address that isn't my own. I told the guy that I used a different address so that he didn't try to send anything there. He said that the package he got from me wasn't opened but he got another one from someone else that was. Next time I'll put them in a small box so the package doesn't seem soft. I shipped with DHL but it was 2 day shipping so maybe that's why they didn't bother with it.

    Honestly I used paypal to get the payment. I registered a paypal under an e-mail address that I use for MFC with my fake name and later transfered the funds to my actual paypal.

    PO boxes here are 100+ a month to rent so I'm not going to bother with them. I've received a few gifts with amazon wish list that hides my address.

    So sorry I haven't gotten back to this thread. I've been, and will be super super busy the next few weeks and its been hard for me to even make time to get camming time in, but I still have every intention of going through with this full force after the Holidays.

    You've all got me curious about taking gift cards for payment (like amazon). I wonder if there is a simple way to convert them in to cash. Since they would be online gift cards, I'll need to check how people resell those on eBay. Gonna check that out as that would take care of a large portion of my concerns.

    I don't really want a lot of crap from amazon, mainly cash.

    Coy_keisha - that is crazy for PO Box rent!!! I think it's like $20 tops here for 6 months!

    It's $60 for 3 months here, for the absolute smallest possible size - basically 2" high and 2" wide.

    After re-checking the post office website I think I misinterpreted the prices (thinking that the 12 month rates were the one month rate). They're actually not that bad. The smallest for 3 months is 46.00. Glad I re-checked. I might get one of these in the future.

    I'm glad you posted this thread, Yuki, because I've had some of the same questions.

    And speaking of money orders, even though I haven't bought one in a long time, I had always preferred them over checks. My forgetful ass used to write a check, forget about leaving the money in my checking account, and then end up with my account balance being in the negative.

    I've always wondered how some girls on MFC go about mailing raffle prizes to their chatters without spending a shitload of money out-of-pocket on shipping. But I guess some of those girls earn so much money per day that they probably just shrug their shoulders at shipping costs.

    Seeing photos of MFC girls showing off their new gifts from their chatters is almost tempting me to start accepting gifts in the mail too (I don't have a P.O. Box yet), but the idea of getting something real creepy in the mail scares me...lol. Maybe I should just accept e-gift cards or just continue wishing for large doses of tips.
