Not rockety seance. I axe a lot of questions and go by gut instinct if I think she is being evasive.Who & how many have you seen in the last year?
So what's your secret? You only see ladies in red? Never see ladies that aren't well reviewed?
Not everyone wants to restrict themselves so narrowly.
It isn't hard, is it. This line though says it all: I axe a lot of questions and go by gut instinct if I think she is being evasive.Not rockety seance. I axe a lot of questions and go by gut instinct if I think she is being evasive.
I do see sp's that have been pos reviews, saves me some work , rarely see anyone in red. There R a lot of women out there selling. Don't feel restricted.
I also play safe and don't demand bbbj or daty. If it's available I might, but I like to stay safe.
This year I've stuck with old faves, some semi-retired and not advertising.
Nothing is stated there about it being easy or difficult. And the joke you quote about KrusteeKrustee / Mr O - I know it's hard to remember what you typed and under what handle you typed it. So, here is a quote of the post where you claimed that anyone could easily do a chargeback.
http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=441648&page=3One recommendation I would make is don't live your life by the exceptions, but rather the rules. In other words, if it is only an occasional problem or just one, then don't change your whole work process. Especially if that change may alienate some of your good clients.
Sometimes you lose more work/moeny by appearing difficult or demanding rather than easy to work with. All business should plan for some bad debts or lost money. There is even a place for it on a Schedule C (US income tax form).
Certainly review your procedure to avoid being too easy of a target, but don't go overboard.
http://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=441648&page=3One of the biggest problems you will deal with is digital delivery – there is no 'proof' that delivery was made.

The other problem is that he is getting paid first and then delivering the image after. The customer can merely say that he is "unsatisfied" with the edits. It could be easily resolvable by making corrections, but in the meantime, he is out the money until the client is satisfied. There is no delivery of a physical item such as a bicycle.
There is always the risk of an unsatisfied customer when we are dealing with creative services. Just because the OP is happy with the results doesn't mean the client will be.

You might want to check your merchant agreement. Generally speaking, you can't process a credit card transaction before you deliver the product. You can take the number (and if you have your own merchant account), you can do an authorization, but you aren't allowed to charge before shipping.
It might well be that the client complained that you charged in advance and then delivered an unsatisfactory product.
In addition to unauthorized transactions, a charge back may also be generated for items that were never received, items received in poor conditions, or wrong items received.
In most cases, the merchant does not dispute the charge back amount.
-----------------------
As a credit card merchant, I can tell you from personal experience that it's usually more trouble than it's worth to defend a credit card chargeback dispute - so it's no surprise that most merchants don't.
Blah-baddy-blah blah blah.
I would honestly think up a more intelligent response, but it's just NOT deserved.
Blah blah .....oh, and BLAH.
Perhaps, WHAW? whaw whaw whaw .....life is tough....yadda yadda.
Again, carry-on. See you on page 25.
Been pooning for 30 years and never been ripped off.
Disappointed, sometimes but never ripped off.
You guys getting ripped off are either doing something wrong or don't learn very fast.

If it were so easy to weed out all the ripoff types just by asking a "lot of questions"It isn't hard, is it. This line though says it all: I axe a lot of questions and go by gut instinct if I think she is being evasive.
This is the only scenario where I can see the idea of postpayment having any merit, although still not without consequence. A 'half-and-half' arrangement might provide protection against unsavoury SP's who might otherwise make off with all of a client's cash, but can only turn off legitimate SP's/agencies.{or perhaps allow some form of compromise, like half and half, putting it on the table in plain sight till the appointment is over, etc} and see what she says to that idea.
Re outcalls to my place 50% {1 of 2} of CL advertisers in the erotic section agreed
to postpayment. I also obtained the same results via the CL adult gigs section.
Well,this is where their super duper screening skills come into play. Oh wait a minute, actually they come into play the minute lenny asks are they ok with post payment. This is a big red flag for rip off guys, so the wise sps (and also the reputable reliable ones) turn these "offers" down. After all, a legitimate sp is not desperate for business, and does not need to make these kinds of deals to get an appt. Someone new to the business might try it once, but not twice, so again it would be preying on their innocence.This is the only scenario where I can the idea of postpayment having any merit, although still not without consequences.

Well stuff like that comes down to both your word and where you are coming from....I myself floated $3000 worth of bodywork to a car I had fixed up....the shop that did it was an old school shop....the guy that owned the place apprenticed under his father and took over the business....his father knew my father...and thusly my word was good....in the due course of time that was mutually agreeable the shop got paid and the guy was happy.....and he gets all of my business now.My car is in the garage...here is an example outside of the SP world. It is now fixed. I went to bring it home. Guess what....they agreed over the phone that I can do payments and take my car. I got there, and the damage on the bill was $2500. Well like I have $2500 (yes in RRSP's). So though we made a deal over the phone, my car is still there they will not release it to me until I pay all! So it is not just SP's that ask for payment up front.
Not sure my point here. But there you go. I have had a long day and a bad day. Tomorrows a new day it will be better.
You've been saying that a lot latelyNot sure my point here.
Darlin' that is the norm here.So do excuse me if I do seem to be a bit out of the norm.
