Deposits info
« on: 15 August 2019, 04:15:54 pm »
Are ladies accepting aw credits as a deposit .
I've not tried it yet .
Which other way do you accept is it via PayPal or bank transfer?
If they refuse to leave the deposit  of your choice before hand how do you handle that situation
If your deposit hasn't credited and they have  arrived  do you still go ahead or cancel
Sorry it's all new to me but my main aim was to deter time wasters and see if genuine clients would co operate.

I take a gift card.
PayPal they can get back by contacting PayPal and disputing it.
I’m not yet brave enough to do bank transfers.
I ask everyone if they’d like to secure the booking with a deposit.
If they say no I just warn them that without a deposit the booking can be given to another if they choose to send a deposit for that time slot.
After this they either send a deposit or don’t, but from their reply you can quite often tell if they’re planning on showing or not.
E.g : no way I don’t do deposit, you’re a scam - probably not gonna show, eh
Eg : I’d prefer not to send a deposit, but I’ll be there at 3oclock on the dot, looking forward to seeing you. I understand though if you do have someone pay a deposit but please let me know. Thankyou. - probably a nice guy, ?!

 It depends on how much you spend on AW - they take a hefty cut if you want actual money for your credits.

Never use PayPal: they don't like sex work and will close accounts (and keep the money) as well as the issue of chargebacks.

Do a search for 'deposits' to get other ideas (Amazon, phone credit, prepaid cards etc).

If they don't follow your booking and screening process, don't see them. Easy.

I have it as a faq on my aw.
And in the part of my profile where I outline ‘how to book’ with me.
I simply state that from new clients I’ll ask for a small deposit.
Non refundable blah blah... whatever terms you’re going to use for deposits you’d write in.
And whenever someone is arranging I’ll obviously then personally ask if they’d like to secure with a deposit. Bc as we all know they don’t read the profile lol xx

No deposit no booking, simple as that.

AW have strict rules about credits, as far as I understand it is against their rules to use AW credits for a deposit (partly because it's paying for an actual service). I advise reading their rules carefully.

I accept bank transfer (the bank I bank with do not allow 3rd party pay ins in branch), and Amazon gift cards.

I know more and more escorts are implementing deposit systems, but it is worth bearing in mind that many punters would never dream of paying one. Be interesting to see how you get on.

I found and still find I have to be consistent, and maintain the requirement no matter what they say. The reason I brought it in was because of the number who would say they'd turn up and just didn't. I still get cancellations however I have found the deposit reduces the amount of cancels and no shows, and provides some compensation if I've turned others away, makes up for some of the time I put in fielding some enquiries, plus the deposit is motivational for me.

There are lots of factors though. For example, if you do out-calls in a geographically more remote area where there are few escorts, a deposit system is more likely to work than say if you're offering standard GFE in-calls in London, for example. i.e. the more difficult/specific the booking is to secure, the more likely the punter will be willing to pay a deposit.

Except I receive a lot of bookings from men all over the country - from areas of lots of Escorts, this both incalls (travel to me) and outcalls to them. Some are travelling long distances from these areas of plenty, or are asking me to visit them in locations where there are plenty much much closer, and much cheaper who do not require deposits.

But that could be because of your particular and unusual physique... I was making a general point that the more standard or easy the booking should be, the less incentive there is for clients to pay a deposit. If someone is difficult to get a booking with, or options are limited geographically, or an SP offers a unique service etc. etc., a deposit scheme will be more viable.
