[MAIN] WishTender

Summary of Discussion on WishTender:

• WishTender is highlighted as an international wishlist platform that offers a safe way for receiving gift funds quickly and without hassle.
• Users compare WishTender with other platforms like Throne, noting its user-friendly approach that doesn't require a referral code to join or create a wishlist. It's recognized for being especially friendly to sex workers (SW) and findom activities, with a creator who designed it with these purposes in mind.
• Concerns about invoicing and tax compliance are addressed, with the clarification that funds go directly to bank accounts and invoices for tax payments can be printed from these accounts.
• Recent challenges include the loss of their payment processor, Stripe, due to its non-adult friendly policies. Despite this setback, WishTender has communicated efforts to secure a new payment processor to avoid service disruption.
• There's a critical examination of the sustainability of platforms like WishTender that try to navigate mainstream payment processors while serving the adult industry. This strategy is perceived as risky and potentially undermining the trust of the sex worker community.
• Warnings are shared about the potential for financial audits and the importance of financial literacy, especially in light of misleading advice about tax obligations on income from such platforms.

This conversation reflects the complexities of using payment platforms for adult industry work, including the balance between convenience, legality, and the risks of relying on mainstream financial services.
