MemberSomewhere I’ve seen mention of girls being paid by online gift certificate or gift card type thing. I was wondering if any of you have done this, and if so, how was the experience? Is it something that’s pretty normal for you? How do you go about it? Or is this some sort of scam? And if you do this often, what are your favorite sites to get them for?Â
Inquiring minds wanna know!!! LOL

MemberHi Shannon
This subject has been partly discussed before – Gift Certificates and Wishlists
I use Amazon certificates and haven’t had a problem at all. (Just make sure the buyer goes online at your Amazon eg buying me a certificate at .com is no help whatsoever because I can only spend it at .com, not .co.uk, and then I have to pay the customs charges!)
Sometimes you have to talk your buyer through the process step-by-step but other than that it’s s simple effective way of payment.

MemberHi Shannon,
I actually get more egift cards than mail in cash/money order, so it’s been very effective for me. I found it was the easiest way if someone wants to do an online payment. Plus, no percentage is taken like it would be if I were using a payment processor. For me, I love it because I sell for fun and spending money, so it’s perfect. I’ve been able to get some great CDs, DVDs, clothes, and stuff from Amazon, and some new bikinis from Victoria’s Secret. I think that some customers also may like it because if someone were to see their bank statement, it would only show a charge to a common website, nothing suspicious at all (that’s just a guess on my part, though).
Hope that helps!

GuestAs a Czech person, I have a HUGE problem with these. Guys want to pay using them… but there are not many czech stores that would have english version of their sites as well, so the guys can not get me a certificate there. (I am looking for few sites I could use, but it takes ages…)
If I got a certificate from USA or UK, I would have to pay a huge ammount for shipping and then also some fee at the customs…
But then, I contacted a friend in the UK I can have things from UK shops sent to. The fishy part is that I can pick them up only like every half year, lol 😉June 26, 2006 at 12:12 pm #8942GuestHi Girls……….
Some girls from ebanned told me about visa gift cards….
Check the site http://www.giftcards.com.
Looks like you could pay with them anywhere where they accept visa cards!!!
I am really desperate looking for a payment processor, that accept adult items and works worldwide……Looks like U.S. residents have more luck then the european girls…. 🙂If you guys have any tips………..please!!!
Thank youJune 26, 2006 at 12:33 pm #8943MemberThose visa gift cards are a great concept!
What a shame we don’t have something similar in the UK 🙁
June 28, 2006 at 12:05 pm #8977GuestIsn’t Visa worldwide:huh::huh::huh:

MemberIn the FAQ I spotted,
If you have purchased or were given a GiftCards.com™ ATM Visa® Gift Card you can withdrawal cash from an ATM that displays the Cirrus and/or Interlink logo.
I’m sure I have seen the Cirrus logo on UK Cashpoints, could be worth someone UK based sending themselves a Giftcard as an exercise. Not sure how the $ / £ conversion would work, might spew out a fistful of dollars, be careful :cheer:
June 29, 2006 at 3:56 pm #9000GuestYes that’s true,but they only send cards to people living in the U.S.A…………….too bad, i kinda liked the idea

MemberI have a relatively new site that takes payments using a paypal business account. I knw paypal doesn’t do xxx sites but I set it up as an office supply company so my buyers also have discreetness. Will I get in trouble through paypal? Should I get a new shopping cart?

MemberDo not use PayPal. If they find out (and they will), they will close your account and freeze all your bank details and card details so there is no way you can ever open another PayPal account. It is worse if you pretend to be selling something else – they will come down on you like a ton of bricks.
I learnt the hard way a few years ago, dont fall into the same trap. They email you pretending to be a potential buyer and will gather proof and information to take action.Â
You will probably lose all money you have in your account and they even now say that they reserve the right to take a compensation fee from those that break their rules.
In their eyes – you shaft them, they shaft you right back.
Be careful,
Love Cindy xxJuly 1, 2006 at 3:54 pm #9034kellyamiina
Memberin my opinion, use it for as long as u can get away with it!! as long as u realise its very possible at some point that youll get caught out and u dont mind havin the account closed, i had mine closed a while back, i knew theyd find out sometime but it was just so much the easiest way i decided to use it until then, they were actually very good with me, allowed me to withdraw all the money i had in there right away! but of course they might not with u!
July 2, 2006 at 5:23 pm #9054MemberWell I really really hope its just a coincidence that after just posting that I use paypal, I received a letter today saying my account is being shut down…if not…tsk tsk.
Oh well It just gives me the oppurtunity to upgrade to a better shopping cart. I’ve heard rumors of sabotage but I would prefer to lend this to coincidence. Guess I have work to do.July 2, 2006 at 5:40 pm #9055Krooze
MemberHonestly, I think it’s more than coincidence. Sorry but I’ve seen this happen way too many times. I honstly believe PayPrick has people signed up with all the sales related adult sights. These people ‘snitch’ on anybody they can. I don’t believe it’s any of the sellers or buyers but just people who register with the sights and snoop.
Sorry this happened to you. I hope you get something set up and sales go well for you!

MemberKrooze is right on the mark with this. Paypal knows about PantyHog, Ebanned, PantyTrust, Ebare. They have employees who do nothing but watch sites like these for the chance to swoop in and make the kill. Take a look at paypalsucks.com and you can read up on all of paypal’s dirty work.
