Good news....


Just had an email from pam @backpage. She said the issue with paysafe has been fixed. ☺ That I should be able to use it now only have another 25 days left. If any try please can you update if it works now.

An update just to clarify that I struggled before to pay with pay safe.  I choose a certain number of days yesterday.  Pamela said safe pay is fully working again. 

I don't know the reason why pay safe had difficulties with back page.
So pay safe looks to be a method of payment again alongside bit coins like previously.  Pamela mailed me 30 minutes ago after I inquired.

Phew... I was not looking forward to using bit coins. 

Ok. Finally I figured out the bitcoin situation. Thanks girls.

Opened a blockchain wallet (following Elaine's instructions), went to a bitcoin ATM (there's like 8 in London, you just need to google "bitcoin ATMS in your city",  popped cash inside the machine, pressed the code against screen et voila. Easy stuff.

Going back to Backpage I'm just surprised they're still bumping ads for free and letting the spam fest continue   Removing that option would stop the spamming. Spam fests disencourage genuine posters. If backpage doesn't put a stop to it they're going end up like craigslist therapeutic section, an utter mess that has been hijacked by asian gangs and eastern European pimps -posting 24/7- asking us (indies) 600 pounds a month to include us in their spamming machine (it happened to me and a few other ladies I know).

Maybe we should all send an e-mail to the Backpage support service and warn them. They're pretty good at getting back to you with any issue.

Hi I wanted to increase my adverting days on Back page but they don't have a visa or credit card payment option just some  payment options  ive never heard of !
Can anyone who uses back page for advertising  and pays for adverts advise me here thanks
im starting to get more clients from there than adult work and tried to pay for more days but cant seem too.

Merged with the main thread...

Bitcoins is easy to use once you downloaded the wallet and bought some. Also paysafecard you can buy the vouchersfrom the shops (it used to be ukash) and pay that way.

But I just did an ad and it was free! I didnt upgrade to sponsered or anything. I let me do a basic ad for free and its up now showing.

Yes same here Ana.
Happy Holidays are gone!
Spammers pay hundreds a day cash, no object for them.

Letter from me to Pam from Backapge today:

Hi Pam,

We're no longer able to "bump up" ads for free in the London section, at least I haven't been able to do it for the last couple days. Now it's asking me for one pound.

Has Backpage stopped the "daily free bump ad your ad" for good?

Me and other providers were wondering.

Thanks and best regards,

Ana


Pam's response:

Hi. Yes, we removed the free move up. It was causing a lot of problems. All reposts are now $1 (pound).

Shame, it was a really good idea.
Can't figure what problems she's on about 
Thanks for bugging them Ana

Oh well, I've noticed the spam today has already been reduced to half, so I guess that's "one of the problems" she's talking about (?).

The moment people can post for free it's a spam fest that gets taken over by gangs and pimps posting 24/7 from Bulgaria and Hong-Kong. Best example is Craigslist therapeutic section. I'm sure Backpage is looking into the spam mess that CL turned into. Of course CL in San Francisco doesn't give a shit because the therapeutic section is free and as far as they're concerned Bulgarian pimps can do as many spam fests as they please, but Adult section in Backpage is a well oiled business with huge profits and you cannot let a business go down the drain. You cannot let it go the spam road because them people just stop reading it.
