    There really should be a sticky thread somewhere explaining what "high risk" vs. "low risk" means.
    Thanks for that explaination! But BN is still a little confused. Haha! So then why do PayPal accounts of models get suspended for taking payments for Skype shows, Snapchat, etc?

    Because its "high risk".

    "High risk" is anything that has a normally high rate of chargebacks or fraud. This includes firearms, gambling, drugs, porn, online tokens, crytpocurrency, certain "electronic goods and services", etc. You know, all the fun stuff.

    PayPal's agreements with the credit card backers (primarily VISA and MasterCard) are only "low risk". This means they can do transactions and billing for vanilla businesses for a very low percent. It also means you can move money around to your friends for free or invoice for a low percent.

    They do not have the "high risk" certification or rates. This means if VISA or MC thinks PayPal is processing high risk transactions, they can hit them with a fine or fee schedule for ALL their transactions. This would be disastrous to their business model. 1% becomes 10%. The breach of contract would be $100's of millions in fines.

    For this reason, PayPal has a very keen interest in keeping high risk transactions and the people that do them off their system. Even if an e-wallet or pay service doesn't mention porn or cammodels, if they're not charging a percent or they have a lot of vanilla clients, they are not "high risk". You will be booted if caught.

    Contrast that with a cam site that pays YOU via PayPal. This is perfectly ok. Payroll is a low risk transaction. Nobody in their right mind reverses their own paycheck.

    If you want to charge for your Snapchat or cam shows, you need to have an agreement directly or indirectly with a "high risk" processor. This can include any cam site (they're all "high risk" processors), tailored billing like IWantClips or Indiebill, or you can open your own "high risk" account with a card processor like CCBill or Verotel.

    They can not see picture gallery from mobile so I assume is the same thing for videos.

    Awesome! I'm going to start sending my cammodel link to these random guys who ask me on Twitter if they can pay with Paypal. "Sure you can! Go here and you can see me and load your account with Paypal."

    Most probably wont but maybe once in awhile one might.

    Someone told me they could see the link to the vids when I went offline, but I didn't get to have them send a screenshot. Others said they couldn't find it there, but I'mnot sure if the first person was wrong or it was just them being dumb because of horniness.

    I logged into cammodels on iphone.
    I do not see photos
    I do not see videos
    I do not see option to tip models offline through messages but I go to a white label and log in, the option is there.
    I went to a few offline profiles

    random but serious question ... when a guy goes exclusive, does he get charged no matter what? or does he have the same "free (unpaid) time" as privates?

    69 seconds, the usual. If he goes exclusive for less than that, then he doesn't get charged and he's a fucking asshole that emptied your free chat.

    Whenever someone takes me exclusive with no prior shows, I always bring up the block screen so I can block if they leave before 69 seconds. It gets me high knowing I can block after they leave

    I think it depends on what your connection can handle, but I read that a 1280x720 resolution and FPS of 29.97 are recommended. The output video bitrate should be at around 1000, but this is where you want to try out different values and see what works. I actually had to lower mine all the way down to 600, and the resolution to 852x480, cause I have a 2mb upload speed lol

    is anyone receiving a cheque from Streamate to Canada? this is the only option I have now and wondering if it is worth it. Last time I checked years ago about cheques like this, the bank was going to hold it for 60 days etc. I realize that if you go to MoneyMart type of places they take a large commission to cash. I am presently waiting for e payment services for another website I work for but it is taking forever and I am losing patience with the whole cam thing since First Choice Bank went under. My options are so limited presently, either they are for European and Usa performers it seems. I would greatly appreciate some advice on this matter.

    You can open a USD account and have your money wired from SM, then move funds from the USD account to CAD. There are a few banks that offer this. RBC, TD, and BMO iirc.

    thanks for the information, I just have another question in regards to the USD account at these banks. Do I select Wire Transfer on my streamate payment request? It is $40 but says available in the United States only. Can I still open an account here in Canada and request this option even though the bank isn't US based? I want to make sure it will work before I select it. thanks so much BlueBunny!

    Default Re: cheque to Canada

    Correct, you select wire transfer, and by US only, they mean they only do "domestic" wire transfers, hence the need to have a USD account at one of the above mentioned banks. You will probably have to talk to your bank for all the information needed because frankly, it's a pain in the butt complicated. Once you set it up though, it should be smooth. There are a couple Canadian girls at the ACF forum (models only section) that talked in more detail about the process. Unfortunately, yes, it will cost 40 dollars every time you get paid. You might have to increase your mim amount that you get paid, so that you don't lose as much in fees. If you could afford to just get paid once a month, it will probably be cheaper than FCP used be after all their ridiculous fees.

    Ok I understand now, and I would raise my minimum fee being paid so it is one time per month, makes sense. So I will have to reveal that streamate is the company that wires the money or do they have a another name they use for this? I live in a small town and don't really want the banks knowing where my money is from, as long as it is a legit company etc. I just want to line my ducks up and get info before I do this! Sorry to be a pain in the butt!

    I have a CIBC account with a USD account attached. Its was easy to set up but I wasnt getting transfers. I dont use it now because I have to actually go into the branch to transfer my funds from the USD account into the CAD account and as I live abroad its not possible but is anyone out there in Canada able to transfer from one account to the other without having to physically go into the branch??

    Saucy Sexy could you open an account in the next town over??

    in trying to quote your post I somehow wrote over it-huge apologies for my error! I need more coffee. I tried to recover your message but I couldn't. I'm really sorry about that.

    what I meant to write in response to YOUR post was:

    "The sm company name is super discreet, if you google it you reach an innocuous page advertising computer services, so you shouldn't have any issues. SM is one of the safest big box sites out there in terms if payment name, so don't stress.

    I deleted the name of their corp that you wrote (you were correct) as this is a public forum so best not to have a record online between the two, but for those who are concerned either PM me or an established sw/cc user who uses sm for the company name, or imagine a reptile soaring above the clouds =). That they use their initials rather than the full corp name is an extra layer of discretion.

    but yeah, highly doubtful your payments from sm could be matched to an adult company/adult work.
    "

    apologies again EP.
