Welcome to the discussion on the integration of Google Wallet with Gmail, a promising new payment method for webcam models. This feature allows users to send money as an attachment in Gmail, potentially revolutionizing how payments are made in the adult industry. Here's a summary of what has been shared:
- Google Wallet will enable Gmail users over 18 to send money as email attachments. Bank account transactions are free, while debit or credit transactions incur a 2.9% fee.
- Recipients don't need a Gmail account but must sign up for Google Wallet. Google Wallet Purchase Protection covers eligible unauthorized transactions.
- The terms of service currently do not explicitly address the purchase or sale of adult content or services, which might be seen as an advantage for now.
- Concerns have been raised about the platform's adult content friendliness and privacy aspects, particularly whether transactions could be anonymized.
- A significant issue noted is the ability for customers to revoke payments up to 30 minutes after making a purchase, similar to Paypal, posing a risk for adult service providers.
- Some members have suggested creative workarounds for using Google Wallet in ways that appear non-adult to avoid detection and payment issues.
- Alternatives like SkyPrivate were mentioned, though their higher commission rates compared to Google Wallet's potential free transactions are a drawback.
This discussion highlights the cautious optimism among webcam models regarding Google Wallet's new feature, balanced with realistic concerns about its suitability and safety for adult transactions. Members have shared both potential benefits and challenges, along with innovative solutions to navigate the uncertainties of using this payment method in the adult industry.
