    Default asking for a deposit

    Hi guys, well im doing a short tour of London and as my time is limited id like to ask clients for a deposit for multiple hour bookings. Nothing expensive , maybe 10 percent ? just enough to protect me from no-shows. I figure one i have some sort of payment from them they will show up for sure right ? What do you think is the best way to go about this ?

    I cant give them my bank details because they will have access to my real name.. would paypal be a good option for something like this ?

    and does anyone else have experience charging deposits for long (3 hrs +) bookings ? how do clients react to it , positively or negatively ?

    I suggest AlertPay. Paypal doesn't take kindly to the adult industry and if they find out, they will freeze your account and you won't be able to get your money.

    You could always do an amazon gift card, or something similar that could be sent to your email.

    Granted, not as good as cash, but still. Looking at provider's profiles on P411 they all charge a deposit larger than 10% though. I think they do 50% if they're travelling specifically only for that client, and I've seen other deposit amounts as well. One in particular that I saw said if the client cancels with a week or more notice they get the whole deposit back, and less than a week but more than 48 hours they get 50% of it back, and if they cancel in less than 48 hours they don't get any deposit back.

    So I would definitely say charge more than 10%

    Is this for escorting? Do paypal and nothing else. Do not take giftcards to replace cash. Always cash/credit card transactions only!

    I agree with not accepting gift cards...ever ever ever! Cash only. Guy can give you an expired or empty card and you wont be the wiser. Besides..cash is best.

    Western Union is another option...just use secret q&a, he doesnt need to know your info and you dont have to show ID to get your money. All you need from him is his name and city, state, which you should have if youre screening anyway.

    I dont think its out of hand to require a deposit for longer sessions...from what Ive seen thats pretty standard...Ive seen as low as 20% and up to 50%... Id guess if you have a reputation and reviews then you can ask for whatever you want. But yeah, if its a multi-hour/overnight I dont think Id confirm without a deposit unless its someone Ive seen before already.
