Checked yesterday.
The women listed are young "barbie dolls" (still).
Age range - early 20s with model looks.

As if you got to be so young!

Still a very odd looking site. . .
On my cheap, vintage computer, some letters are "garbled"/overlapping.
Worrying!   
I will try to see on someone else's newer computer next time.

Would I consider posting?
If there are no other independents, it does mean :no business here:
Maybe, the pricing, someone else commented.

So..at the moment, No. 
I did, however, see a regional section.
It has no areas. . . .

It's an odd looking site.
Like a catalogue of "dolls." . . .
Cannot say, it appeals to "real women".

It is a odd looking catalogue you are right this is why i stopped using it plus sometimes hard getting ads published too as it was full of pimped young women and mostly eastern european and so so many men just said they stopped using it as so hard to find independent genuine women working without taking ages going through all the pages. The amount of men that kept telling me they thought they was visiting an indie and basically a flat full of probably trafficked women and they could hear the men pimps in another room.

Money is money so Viva will not stop taking adverts from pimps as they would lose a huge amount but i do think they should not be partnered with NUM against trafficking as it is hypocritical. They would take ads from people that are advertising as an indie but take multiple ads off different women so obvious not indie.

That said if you have the stomach for the amount of timewasters some do ok from it and some want to literally pluck there hair out 1 by 1 when they answered plenty of calls for nothing and paid for the privilege. I think certain areas are probably better then others.

Most of the ads do not look genuine and so many exactly same price. If the faces are on show and too pretty and price too cheap i know something is not right so do so many clients. I have never heard so many clients talk about Viva being like finding a needle in a haystack. Maybe this is why so many timewasters there more used to winding us up on purpose as easy pickings.

But maybe you need a thick skin for the first week of advertising then the timewasters might calm down gradually.

Excellent nuggets of wisdom from EG.

Yes. . .   
It is somewhat alarming to see how low the escorting prices
are on VIVA.
I agree that it might well be that these prices/photos are
not what they charge or what they look like.
A matter for the Trading Standard?

If these adverts are run by organisations,
VIVA can tell based on their payment methods and names. 
Having said that, if they weren't legit,
they would have been long gone,
I am only guessing. . .

Shame that FA does not serve well except very few areas.
At least, the website would have looked "normal".

  The prices are low on these ads cause they usually “brothel girls” and most men know this and expect they will pay for extras when they arrive at the “brothel”
  I stopped advertising with Vivastreet’s cause of its odd customer service dealings and editing of adverts published by independent (removing words and pictures)and never with the so called agency adverts.

Oh.........!!

Thank you. That explains!!  It's a trick to get customers in.

That would make us indies looking far more "expensive", then.  ::)

A long time ago a member here gave me the very good piece of advice to state a higher price in my VS adverts.

I do link to my website where prices are lower, and no one has ever paid the higher rate, but I think it helps with enquiries.

What I have come to terms with vivastreet I have one price listed only for the 1 Hour rate at 1.5.0 and have a number for that site I only pay for the listing and I still get found somehow by clients. Yes I get many silly calls but out of those get some good clients met in lovely outcall bookings turn into long dates. I stick to my hourly rate and charge every hour from what I listed so end up making more. I tried to advertise as 2.0.0. hour but no bookings come in but at 1.5.0. still get work and they always end up extending. I always place my advert in same London post code location to be consistent than move it around when I do a new posting after its expired.

Definitely. A higher price can stop some of it plus some clients will know it is probably more genuine. I did have 1 client tell me when he has used viva he always went for the higher prices and would never go for any cheaper prices even if they looked like a supermodel due to the fact he trusted the higher priced ads more.

I keep getting banned on viva street because they say I went against the terms and conditions. No warning my account taken down and I have to start one with a new e mail. It’s so frustrating I don’t know what I’m doing wrong? I thought you can show breasts just not other stuff. Also why can’t they warn me :/ they wouldn’t talk about why it happened in the phone said our decision is final .

I did ask and all they say is the add went against our terms and conditions and the decision is permanent. That’s when I asked why it went against the terms and conditions :/  payment goes through fine and add is live for a bit. My advert was similar to other I dont see why I’m targeted.

banned ad! I've got tits and all kinds of un pc restrictions plastered on mine and I wasn't banned a few weeks ago.vs has very explicit stuff and adverts. If  they cant discuss the issue you cant correct it. Odd their phone help was amazing when I rung for assistance.

They don’t ban the ads they ban my whole account :/ it’s happened twice now. They don’t tell me the problem too just that it doesn’t comply to rules and regulations. It seems really random I had an add for a while then make a new one but with the same content and that gets banned. Only difference was the area.
