Why Agencies Mattered on a Snowy Day - Are Billing Coops Next ?

[Bearofdistinction]

I am sitting here in front of the fireplace and I have put a Pot Roast on the Stove to slow cook .

And I am thinking how nice it would to spend this sleepy snowy day with a lovely gentleman caller.

 

But when it snows I hunker down -- so the issue is $$$$ at home - as opposed to being able to use CC's which for me were always better for the Gentleman because I never watched the clock knowing everything would be covered and room for tip.

 

It seems Agencies are Dead --- Perhaps a Billing Coop to process CC/Debit Cards would be a good alternative?

 

Opinions?

 

Someone lost a 5-6 hour date and an amazing pot roast and potato pancake dinner with red spiced cabbage and apples

 

As well as an afternoon/eve of Kiss/Kink/Cuddle

I (as well as a few other professional escorts) will take electronic payments via Cash.me and other mediary payment apps for clients we have seen in the past.

Cash App works for many of my guys

My hires take VENMO.

[MrMattBig]

Cash app is awesome as it is the same as Square.

Venmo is a branch of PayPal now, so I only use Venmo as a secondary option considering PayPal's history amongst sex workers.

i didnt know about Paypal issues. who owns cash app?

Interesting -- Appreciate the feedback I need to look into these options -- My local long time Gentleman Caller/friend takes my old-fashioned paper check for his consulting work. ;)

I have taken a check before only from someone I trusted and knew was good for the check.

Familiarity and trust are key if you are looking to pay using non-cash methods.

The Cash app is run by Square. All of these platforms have a line item in their TOS that prohibits the use of their platform for accepting or sending payments for this particular type of service. Some providers do use one or more of these platforms anyways but they are in violation of the TOS as a result. If a dispute or another problem arises, the provider is out of luck and has to take the loss else they may have previous earnings clawed back from the bank and even face a full suspension from the service.

 

I do allow Venmo and I'm currently working on allowing Circle Payments as an option. I do limit it to only clients I have seen previously as a way of protecting myself from abuse and having my accounts suspended for violating the TOS. As of writing this I am 100% suspended from using the Cash app and Facebook Payments.

With Square’s Cash app, the money is almost immediately transferred, right? Not held like a PayPal account balance (which could be held/seized), so I’d imagine (don’t know for sure) it would difficult for “the authorities” to nab the money back.

 

Traceable, yes. So if it’s 1000% discretion than any one of these leaves a trail.

I've always preferred using cash, even when hiring someone who did accept credit card payments. I'd rather not have an electronic record that law enforcement could easily look into under the right (wrong) circumstances.

Well since retiring from congress I do not worry about that as much.
