Escorts should maybe think about using chip and pin as altrerative to cash?  Maybe there is a posting somewhere already offering advise on this???

Credit/debit cards can still be charged back by the issuer - either saying the card was stolen or that he never authorised the transaction. A well known agency has told me they have problems with card payments this way.

You must be joking. Cold hard cash for me thanks, as mercenary as that sounds. I would imagine there's nothing worse than doing an overnight or a weekend, getting paid by credit card and the customer calling his credit card company the next day and stopping the payment. No ta!

ROFL....

I had heard that for C&P the onus is on the back to carry the refund - it's only when using the signature system or online transactions that the 'retailer' is affected.

Bit of an update on this and previous discussions. I've recently signed up for a special search service on the internet. The database offered is way, way out of date and therefore completely useless to me. I have tried getting a chargeback on my VISA credit card but my provider says you can't do it if it's s service and the service has been provided. Doesn't matter if the service isn't quite what it pretends to be and I have to chase it with the provider - who aren't responding to any of my emails or phone calls, which is why I went to my card company.

So how do guys then chargeback for our services?Or would they say it was goods not recieved?I do know that a lot of banks don't give payment facilities to adult service providers - so would and adult SP then be claiming to sell goods and then this is how some agencies do experience chargebacks on credit cards?A well known agency have told me this does happen to them.

Perhaps someone can find out if they are bored!!!!

I know I might be a bit of an old fuddy duddy here, but I'm happy to stick with cash unless I really have to change. 

Well, nothing's going to change anytime soon. Banks aren't going to be giving us indies merchant accounts to accept either Chip and PIN or credit cards. As far as they're concerned, it's not a viable profession.
