    Arrow Opinions needed on Paypal Processor

    Hi. I have recently been reading about people accepting payments from clients by paypal and was this safe to do so because of certain concerns about privacy etc. As alot of you may know I try to help out best I can for performers in this industry especially the ones on this board.


    I have another paypal account unrelated to the daily pay in everyway and was going to setup a processor for performers to use here.

    I have read about alertpay and other processors + seen the high fee's, even some indy places only let you keep 70%.

    Eg If I set it up so that you gave a paypal address to your clients to use (selected clients of course) then once they sent the money it would be re-directed to your real paypal address with my small (as always) fee of say 5% would this interest you?


    Letting you keep 95% with no hassle or worry of privacy issues and making you feel alot safer taking money via paypal.



    This is only a thought and it would be great to have some feedback good or bad on the idea please. + thoughts on the 5%.

    Thanks everyone.

    2nd note: This would be open to SW members only and not the wider public.


    3rd note: In the future if this is started you will also have the option to have it sent directly to your bank (the same day) with no paypal fee's. US and UK members only*

    Also, the person sending you money can open a "dispute" about the money and claim fraud or whatever and the money can be returned to them.

    AlertPay would be better.

    I have to disagree sorry. I send thousands per week by this method and nearly all SW performers (95%~) of the daily pay service use it with no problems. Alot of people have a myth about adult transactions and Paypal even though its widely used around here by alot of people.

    Performers wouldnt have to worry about it being disputed because the dispute would come to me and not them. They will always get their money (just like they already do now by my services).

    I'm too scared to use pay pal for adult transactions anymore. I don't care how much people try to "disguise" the adult transaction as not being an adult transaction. The bottom line is they can freeze your account, charge a fine, and there will be nothing you can do about it. I sincerely hope this does not happen to anyone here.

    I'm surprised people are not worried about this happening to them.

    I have to agree with you. Better safe than sorry. If it has happened before, it can happen again. I use to use pay pal for this, but I'm too paranoid to do it now. Too many girls lost a lot of money this way.

    Another benefit is the risk is taken by someone else remember. Id probably guess the risk of being suspended is about the same as getting mugged walking through the city. But I still do it



    Edit: Out of the thousands iv meet who performer maybe 2-3 lost money by Paypal. When you say too many Im not entirely sure who you mean sorry.


    + no-one out of the hundreds who signed up to daily pay with paypal over the years have had their account suspended. I know one person on this board its happened too because of direct open relations on a cam site but apart from that no-one else.

    I think you have great ideas PrincessJenny. I just work too hard for my money to risk any type of chance of losing it. If people want to use pay pal then that's cool. But there are those of us who have the opinion that it's not that safe, and for good reason.

    If it's working for you all then that's good. I sincerely hope that you never have an issue with pay pal. Ever.

    Walking down the street does put you at a huge risk to get mugged, especially during the holidays. Anything can happen to someone at anytime. It's just best to be safe than sorry, and always take precautions to avoid disasters.

    Food for thought definately.


    Do many people here accept payments directly to there bank? If no, is it because of privacy concerns aswell?

    Generally, I don't mind accepting payments directly to my bank since I have good.. fraud protection.

    I also .. really like your services even though they use paypal. You're the one handling the "adult" part of it- our business end is just money transfer..

    So. If you're asking would I love to use this new service you're thinking about? Yes. All of the risk to me removed? Hells yes. Am I slightly afraid for you taking on this risk? Yes. I am.

    I'd definitely be willing to pay 5% for that kind of tastiness. I do wonder about the CBs, though. For indie cam shows and panties and stuff, paypal seems to be so ridiculous about believing the assholes who "did not receive goods or services".

    Not only will they suspend accounts and fine people, they will nearly always give the customer's money back if they complain. I was working Yahoo cam back in the day when Paypal decided to quit accepting adult. There were many many cam hosts affected. They still do suspend, cancel accounts and fine anyone they even suspect of handling adult transactions. I really think you are underestimating the risk involved.
