Is it maybe that Visa debit cards are ok but not credit cards?

I have no idea but all of a sudden the New York escort  section of Backpage that used to be like 10 pages long each day has been reduced to one and a half pages. So something is going on that for sure.

Is Visa going to apply the same policy to Backpage Europe? Taaa-dannn! Let's all cross our fingers.

Bitcoin=Nightmare. :FF

While I haven't used btc for BP ads, I've used it for other things.  It's not a nightmare and not nearly as complicated as people make it out to be.  However, you really do need to read up a little bit to understand it.  Many legitimate businesses use btc and the numbers are growing.  You can even book hotels and flights [link removed - please don't post these here].

Worried about price fluctuations?  Just buy only what you need and use for that.  I've been working with btc for a few years and never had a problem.  Just sorry I didn't buy it earlier when I found out about it a few years and hold it.

If nobody can pay then they will die off as punters will look, see no girls, and look elsewhere.

I try to registrate with paysafe cards and it's proven to be a nightmare. They say that you will get a pin code in your phone but you will never get it. They have no customer service whatsoever. When you read the paysafe reviews on the internet they are awful, nobody got this infamous pin code. And all the gazillion reviews say paysafe cards are a scam.

You can buy the cards on some newsagents, my question is: Can you use the paysafe cards to pay and NOT be registered in their website?

Just reading your message and am curious to know do you actually buy money using your visa card.
it seems like there no real money involved

No, I don't buy money using my Visa card, when did I say that?  I buy bitcoins using cash.  You can find out about various ways of buying and using bitcoins by reading up on it.  I don't want to post anymore links because it is against forum policy.  Just google it -- that's how I learned.

I went to my bank to ask how to buy bitcoins and all the staff (manager included)  looked at me with the most surprise face. They have never heard of bitcoin.

Go figure.

They have now updated that they accept amex cards. American express sell gift cards at Sainsbury stores ( the larger ones) so that could be a temporary workaround

Don't think so. Amex also pulled out (based on the media articles regarding this issue).

Quoting the above article:

"With that, Cook county sheriff Thomas Dart asked credit card companies to remove their association from the services offered in Backpage.com?s adult section. ?Visa?s rules prohibit our network from being used for illegal activity,? said Visa spokesman John Earnhardt"
Spokespersons for both MasterCard and American Express have also confirmed their discontinuation of services related to the website. However, bitcoin payments are still accepted by the website, which Dart says would make it more difficult to catch perpetrators."

Ok. So let me get this right:with credit cards it was easy to trace down the dodgy pimps and any illegal activity but now with bitcoin they just made it literally impossible. Thank you visa, mastercard and Sheriff dart for making the world a more unsafe place for vulnerable women.

Unbelievable.
