Exactly!! One can call after they fked the provider, cancel transaction and have gotten a free session!! Originally Posted by shortyI agree with the other follow up comments... A hobbyist in this market would only get away with that once.
I think providers only do that with trusted hobbyists. Yes some of us do trust each other. Originally Posted by Mr.ChanYes, we do. After 4 years in the hobby, I still believe that most people are inherently good, and that honest service will be repaid in kind, with honest payment.

I've taken CC's as payment on many occasions, without incident.
And while I won't specify exactly what my billing shows up as...let's just say it's something that's classified as general retail and can easily be justified as a repeat transaction without alarming a SO.
