Exploring payment methods for Skype shows can be a challenge, especially when seeking options that provide instant, safe transactions. Members have shared various methods and experiences to help navigate this aspect of webcam modeling:
- Some webcam models prefer payment through platforms like Paxum for site-based earnings but encounter difficulties finding instant, safe methods for direct Skype show payments.
- Bitcoin has been mentioned as a viable option for its somewhat instant transaction capabilities. Using services like CoinBase allows for easy setup and management, though it's advised to change your wallet address after each payment for added security. However, the visibility of personal details through Bitcoin transactions is still uncertain and may require testing.
- Questions arose about the effectiveness and preferences for independent Skype directories, which offer a higher payout percentage but with delayed payments.
- Concerns were expressed regarding requests for Skype shows when models are available on chatroom sites, suggesting these requests might sometimes be scams.
- Alternative payment methods such as IndieBill, which offers a high payout percentage without chargebacks, and other platforms for selling videos or receiving tips were also discussed. Additionally, the use of Amazon gift card codes was suggested, with the recommendation to apply the code before the show as a precaution.
These discussions highlight the importance of choosing a method that balances the need for security, instant transactions, and higher payout percentages.
