I'd avoid PayPal in future too, even if you've been lucky so far. They hate us (most US banks are similar, because prostitution is illegal there) and they'll freeze your account and take all the money back if they catch you out.

Well, because as I said above it's an American bank and prostitution is illegal in the US; they're concerned about covering their back more than anything else. That doesn't help you if they twig or somebody reports you, though

Please tell me the PayPal email address you've given punters doesn't have either your legal name or your work name in it?

I only accept cash. Looked into taking card payments. I know some girls take payment by card. But just too risky for charge backs . Bank transfer don't do as again dont want my name being discovered by a stalker punter or a wife asking whats this payment online and then a bank transfer dispute.

I just bank cash at local post office. Does main banks. Then spend cash everywhere I can from vet bills, food shopping, trains and buses, taxis, hotel food etc.

Most places still take cash.
