    Be careful with Gift Rocket as a payment they can request refunds for a while after they were sent.

    Info:
    Refunded payments
    More Payments Refunded

    I know a lot of sites don't technically allow it, but I accept tributes for customs, at least there's some protection there, but not completely.
    You can use IWantClips or Customs4U for customs. They have a form and you put in your amounts. I know IWC needs I think at least 2 videos uploaded to appear as a store though.

    [QUOTE=kortneykay;2799061 Too many of these losers do not respect our professions and will do any and everything (including photoshopping) to screw you over. They believe their worthless pubescent cocks are god's gift to women and are appalled that we actually want to be compensated for getting them off. Don't let that be you![/QUOTE]

    The above seriously made my day. LOL

    I swear to God, some guys have a fetish for sending gift cards and canceling them. The GC from gift rocket sounds like a ploy to get more attention from you. He will get the message loud and clear now that you have blocked him you aren't entertaining his ass for free. I've blocked guys before and they e-mailed me under different screen names with a GC that worked and with a bigger amount than originally offered. Let them show they are sorry by coming out of pocket. You and your time are valuable. Anybody who thinks its okay to waste your time and be a nuisance gets BLOCKED.

    yeah, it's trial and error. I would only take an amazon gift card as a gift, not for payment of anything. I offer videos and custom videos through manyvids. When a guy asks me about custom videos, I send him to manyvids, then they seem to disappear. I sent a guy there a long time ago who went on and on about a custom video, even took me exclusive to pick out an outfit and discuss it. So I told him to go to Manyvids and finish the payment there. He soon emailed me that it was "their payment system didn't work, he tried to pay through my profile there and it wouldn't work, will you take an Amazon Gift Cert for it instead?" I called him out on that shit. Every damn day I successfully sell videos on ManyVids, try again. If not, then I'm sorry I can't help you.
    LOL Once I'm on MFC I'll take tokens for videos, but until then, it's Manyvids. I've had a few nice big tippers on Streamate that have tipped 150 or more gold for a custom video and that's fine. They were really good regulars and I knew they wouldn't be a problem. But after a few months of experience and reading the threads I'm with some other girls, who take gift cards ONLY as gifts. A gift card is a gift. Not payment. Just my thoughts

    That is an amazing idea JessRyan. I made an account with manyvids already but haven't uploaded anything yet. Can the customer pre pay for videos through Manyvids? I'd love the possibility of having them pre pay for a custom make it, uploaded it for them and also to my account if it's not too customized for others to buy. I told the guy if he wanted a video and had so many issues with gift cards he could get a free SM account and tip me the $200 in gold. He hasn't replied back ��

    I've only had a couple really good regulars tip me enough gold for custom videos. I think that's rare. I offer custom videos on manyvids. Take a look at some profiles and see what the girls offer. I've sold a lot of videos through there and guys on streamate have easily found me. They know how to find you. I've never had any issue with payment, or getting my check. A lot of top models on MFC use manyvids too, so it's a well known site for camgirls. Now I haven't sold a custom video using Manyvids yet, but I'm sure it's easy. Support emails responses quick if you have any questions.

    it depends on the amount and time of day ... it took me 24 hours to receive a $500 g.c through them. for higher amounts they call and verify w/cust. also make sure to never do the work until you receive it.

    Basically Amazon is starting to shut down wishlists and accounts of sex workers! If your account is closed, they WILL take any gift card balance with it! So it's best to always redeem your gift cards to a personal account.

    Just this week I was unable to log into my "work" Amazon account after a customer sent me a gift card and purchased an item off my wish list. Not only was his order cancelled (as he confirmed) they shut down BOTH his and my Amazon accounts. Completely closed them. Thankfully I redeemed the gift card to a personal account and used it immediately, but I'm still checking my personal Amazon account often hoping they won't make the connection and close that one as well.
    Has anyone experienced this as of late, is this still a thing?

    I think you're fine as long as you aren't publicly offering shows or videos in exchange for gifts or gift cards then you should be fine.

    Phew, okay. I was only going to accept wishlist stuff as gifts anyhow. Just in case I made my list a mishmash of stuff.

    Question Are Amazon gift cards safe?

    So I've been looking into accepting amazon gift cards as tributes since a lot of people offer them and I have a couple of things on my amazon wishlist I want to buy and wouldn't mind getting some extra gift cards to do so.
    I've heard from a couple of people that they still aren't 100% safe but a lot of people who use them say they are? Quite confusing about this.
    What's the worst that can happen? Does anyone here accept them? Any precautions?

    I have accept Amazon gift cards as payment when I do the occasional skype show. They send me the card, I redeem (add it) immediately to my AMZ account, and then let the customers know we can start the show. Never had any problems yet.

    So you can add them to your amazon account instead of spend it right away on an item ?

    If you're concerned it might be cancelled, you can use a small amount to purchase something. Have things waiting to purchase.

    So they can't cancel or ask for a refund (if that's even possible) that way? What would be the difference between me spending it or redeeming it to my amazon account balance?

    It depends i guess, sometimes they have the code themselves and send you the code. Other times I guess they buy the code and input your email? I'm not entirely sure as i've only ever used the former method and have bought things straight away.

    There is one SW member who has reported that she recently got an amazon GC, spent part of it, and then later the guy got a refund on it. Amazon did indeed take the money back from her and put her amazon balance in the negative.

    That's really weird because amazon states on their site they don't refund giftcards

    They'd have to refund it if the person went through their bank and claimed fraud. There's a limited number of times the back would honor this, because I am sure it would appear suspicious to them

    So it isn't that easy to get it refunded? from what you said it actually looks quite complicated, don't see someone going to their bank because of a 20$ giftcard or something

    I don't know how easy or hard it would be, but if I sent. Someone a $100 gift card and I was planning on scamming them the whole time I wouldn't say it would be overly complicated to fathom.

    People do really crazy things to be assholes.

    The people who are saying that it cant be refunded are saying so because it hasn't happened to them yet.
