the rumour has been spreading in switter that a few ladies have had their accounts frozen/hacked after posting on bedpage, then others buying 50 dollars in credits to see the site go up and down and their credits.. gone! Also as per lately they got rid of all the pictures posted on ads in the european countries with no explanation whatsoever. all this has been quite a put off and I believe that's why SW'ers are staying away from bedpage. They are not giving women free ads to promote it and for being such a dodgy unknown site 12 dollars a week for an ad is quite pricey IMO. These people (who ever they are) are coming out as very greedy and that's a bad sign.
However... big cities like New york are full of real ads, which means that some ladies are posting. Rumour in the adult web hosting industry is that the website has been created by an ex backapage developer.
in any case, till they don't get their act together AND offer an anonimous non credit card payment option I'm staying away too for now. Sorry bedpage: you don't seem to have your shyte together so you don't deserve my hard earned.
maybe it will work in the future, we'll see . i'm keeping a close eye on it.
