I just say if they don’t want to pay a deposit, see a provider who doesn’t request one.

Yeah that’s usually my go to haha - especially since it says it on my profile. We end up getting right the end of the arrangement process - and turns out they obviously haven’t read the profile 🤦🏻‍♀️ ugh.
Just another example of how they don’t read I think, rather than them not “trusting” my profile (I hope anyway)

I put an auto reply on and say the exact same thing again and the info I need to consider a booking - quite often don’t hear back but that’s fine, saves me time doing the ping pong email thing. It’s when you get the “I’d like to see you at x time, for x long in x date and I am happy to pay your deposit” makes life so much easier, rare as it is.

I’m amazed at the amount of people managing to get deposits here. I would literally not get booked if I asked for a deposit. I’ve had several profiles and even when I was well reviewed etc that was still the case. I’d be interested to know where I’m going wrong.

You're not 'going wrong'! The number of times I've asked for deposits in the last ten+ years I can count on one hand and it's only ever been to cover long distance travel costs. I just want them to text/call, book and turn up without faff and ninety nine times out of a hundred they do, but if I had problems with timewasters I daresay I might think differently.

If you want to take deposits there's a long thread about it already here which might have some helpful stuff: https://saafe.info/main/questions-and-answers/deposits/315/

Since covid I've asked all new customers for a deposit. This is partially due a big increase in callers and discretion being even more paramount. Before covid I only asked if they kept calling but I wasn't sure about them.

I get so much abuse. The latest one "why would I give you a deposit when I don't know what you look like..." . And the usual one I don't want to pay the deposit (get voucher) I can do online transfer! Like you just going to give them your account details! Who are they kidding like they would want you to know who they are. These clowns just screen themselves out.

I usually ask for a voucher which I tailor to type of caller. And I can say is that all the ones that have paid the deposit have turned up clean and have been gentlemanlike.

I don’t think you’re going wrong, I have only changed how I operate recently due to location change and it helps me weed out time wasters, address collectors and give me more reassurance - I mean, it could still all go tits up but previously I’d only ask for outcalls which I rarely do. I used to just work on the day, take a call and that was that but I don’t feel I can do that now. X

Sometimes it might be a turn off how you take the deposit if it's bank transfer they might not want you having there real name especially for incalls.

I wonder if the ones have better luck getting deposits if they show there face or maybe ask for vouchers like amazon.

I offer transfer to business bank account, cashapp or last resort, Amazon or e-voucher and have this in my FAQ’s. I can understand someone being apprehensive about real name or something appearing on a statement that can’t be so easily explained away. Have found AW clients less agreeable to deposits where those who don’t use it or have originally met me through twitter are happier to comply. I half wonder if it’s because Twitter gives you more of an insight into who the provider is as opposed to a static profile on AW.

On the contrary, I do not show my face and nor do I ask for Amazon vouchers. I've been sent deposits via Cashapp, although I prefer e-vouchers for the supermarket.

I agree re. AW, so no longer use it. However, I don't use Twitter either. For me, I think it is because I am relatively niche that there is no viable alternative to me, and so I am in a position of strength and can insist on a deposit.

I should have added, I don’t ever show my face either and I don’t post free content.

That’s good to hear, if I were able to invest more hours in work, I’d go down the route of my own site but not really feasible at the moment. I do think how and where you advertise can make a difference.

Even as a part-timer, a website was a game-changer for me. In addition to making me feel able to insist on the deposit, it enabled me to scale back advertising to the minimum too.

To return to topic - I took an advance booking back in March for June. The man had numerous time wasting reports, but paid his deposit without question. I knew he would cancel, and he did. The cancellation had little bearing on me, and I got to keep the deposit. So for anyone contemplating using deposits, I would urge them to do so. Just make sure your terms & conditions regarding them is crystal clear, particularly if they are non-refundable.

I haven't thought of a voucher! I'll have to try implement this when I want to take deposits! Thanks hun

I just charge 10 pounds for every 10 min of travel to get to them. Option of Bank transfer, Amazon voucher or paysafe voucher.

Similar responses to many on here already - I advertise exclusively on AW and only offer outcalls with limited availability.

I now take deposits, it is clearly stated on my profile in several places and I refuse to see anyone who won't send a deposit - The guys who email through my profile have always paid a deposit, it's the guys who text me or ring me who I seem to have the most issue with!

Stick with taking the deposit, it will be better in the long run!
