credit cards

[rocksinurhead]

Recently I've noticed a small but increasing number of escorts accepting credit cards. I'm just wondering about the actual logistics of processing the payment.

Wouldn't paypal be even easier for both parties?

Thanks.

I don't think I would use a c/c...just because of privacy. Since Square is so easy to use with your phone, I think most escorts would use that...just a guess

One caveat if I can mention.....when anything other than cash or barter is used.......it's all trackable.....meaning the IRS. You show income, especially a lot, the government seems to notice.

Barter lol.. Ill trade you 2 goats and a chicken for a blow job!

Though I am sure if an escort provided a list of items he would like in lieu, it would be the same.. and it would be like a real date lol.. buy bf an expensive gift, have great sex:P

That is so funny. I'll up it...I'll give 3 goats and 2 chickens... I have seen some escorts ads that have link a link to Amazon with a list of items they want.

Paypal can be a nightmare. According to fairly common accounts, if they suspect that you're doing something against their "terms of service" (like escorting) they will place a hold on your funds, and you may never see the money again.

While not escorting, I have a friend that sales a ton of stuff on ebay and uses pay pal for payments. Too often for whatever reason funds are held up for a few days before being released. This might not be a good idea to use if rent is due.

I've never had issues with PayPal, I even use a slightly bogus name. But, I try to spend the funds as quick as possible or withdraw a large portion and leave the rest for small purchases.

 

I just can't see a reason to use credit cards. I used to work for a company that lived off of solely charging people's credit cards, and charge backs would happen. The whole idea is just riskY.

Pay pal is a nightmare. I have tried bogus names. Like to know how your get away with a bogus name. When it comes to escorts cash is the only way. If they demand some payment up front I usually tell them goodbye. I have gone to Wallmart and gotten a m0ney or check. Not sure which and have sent it and let them fill in my name and theirs.

I've paid using several different mobile apps depending on which one the service provider preferred. Everything from Google Wallet to Serve by American express. Some of them have a monthly fee to maintain an open balance, which you can charge directly from your checking or savings account, and others, like Google, make money in the form of microtransactions by limiting you to $300 daily withdrawal of the transferred funds, so higher amounts sit in Google's account earning itty bitty amounts of interest and providing temporary cashflow for as long as a balance sits on the Google Wallet without being cashed out. There are usually no fees to do a transfer, and it's immediately moved from one account to the other, emailing a receipt for your accountant to deal with later.

 

The apps make it easy and fast. But I did have the misfortune once a long while back with an out-of-town prostate whisperer visiting New Orleans who had one of those Square plug-in adapters for his busted up phone, and I know we must have sat there afterward trying to swipe 3 different cards over and over for 20 minutes before I gave up and took him with me to an ATM a couple of blocks away just to make it stop.

While cash is always preferable, I've been using Square for about a year now to process card payments. While the 2.75% charge is annoying, my clients really appreciate the ease of it, versus having to go to multiple ATM's for a multiple hour appt. I only caution people about processing large amounts at odd hours (like late at night), cause I have heard from guys who have had issues with their money being held for suspicion of illegal activities.
