Just read another ad. "Donations must be provided up front with no discussion" Then goes on to say that the donations are for time.
Ok, I say if its for time I don't mind showing I have the money. But, payment is upon the completion of time.

Ladies have an absolute right to have their preferences and I especially appreciate it when the ladies express those preferences in their ads or websites.
With respect to arrival and donations, here is a recommendation that has served many hobbyist and providers well, especially when making new friends.
A gentleman arrives at the incall on time and knocks lightly. (He has followed the lady's instructions to call from the parking lot, etc.) The lady is expecting the gent and will usually open the door right away, standing behind the door, out of the sight of others. (She is protecting you and herself by being discreet).
The gent will walk right in, allow the lady to close and lock her door. (She is protecting you and her own security).
At that point, the lady and gent will embrace.... gotta love that... this is another means of the lady putting you at ease and allows you to put her at ease. (She is putting you and herself at ease with what may be otherwise an awkward meeting).
Upon completion of the embrace (and or kissing), the gent will place his envelope (unsealed) in an obvious place and ask if he can use the restroom. NOTHING WILL BE SAID ABOUT THE ENVELOPE OR ITS CONTENTS..... (This is for your mutual protection with repsect to breaking any law regarding pay for play).
If you have any worries or concerns about being there... this is your time to speak up (or hers).
While you are in the restroom, the lady has the opportunity to discretely check on the envelope.... some will open it and count it, some will put it away, some will leave it alone.... any of the above is none of my concern. However, the lady now knows that you are legit and can put her concerns about the donation aside, and concentrate on having fun.
When you exit the restroom, the fun begins!
If you end up staying longer than expected or have a wonderful time... a tip is always a good idea.
In my experience, I never made a lady ask for the donation and I never had a lady count the money in front of me. Most of my friends never even touched the envelope until after I left.
If you are worried about a cash and dash, I would suggest taking a less risky route and research the ladies here... for that is one of the wonderful things about ECCIE membership, is the wealth of info for both the provider and hobbyist.
IMO, the best hobby experience is one in which both parties have done their homework and treat one another with mutual trust and respect.
A ladies' security and livelihood are two things she should never have to worry about when meeting with an ECCIE hobbyist.
Hobby safe!
