So i was bored one night and went on p411 and saw in a provider accepted paypal. Granted with technology smartphones i could see how easy it would be to add money and pay via the paypal app. At the same i though with cash it's more discreet i don't want a transaction trail. So what due you hobbyist/providers think of using paypal good bad or indifferent? .

PayPal is great...but not for adult related things.
1. If PayPal found out the transaction were used for adult activity (including porn) they would shut down the account and lock any cash still left on the balance
2. It's easy to set up a dispute and get a refund, leaving the provider with nothing. PayPal is VERY buyer friendly. They couldn't give 2 shits about "sellers"
3. I do enjoy the card reader PayPal offers with the mobile app. But due to 1&2, I would rather use other card readers

I've never met a service provider that had a problem accepting these.
Not sure another form of payment is ever necessary.

There are ways to use your credit card indirectly to pay for a session. I occasionally accept gift cards as payment. I like that option better, since the hobbyist uses his credit card at the store to buy the gift card & there's no fear of the provider having the card number. Also, I have the same concern that Marybeth stated -- charges being challenged after the date. The gift card is irreversible currency once it's purchased.

No way, ain't gonna happen. What happens a few years from now when the government moves to ban the private possession of cash? Those will be interesting times. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-0...mands-cash-ban

Seen chatter on the Paypal thing. I'd suspect either of two reasons for it.
1.- being a P411 member there may be an elevated trust factor going on here.
2. - One major element of prostitution is exchanging $ for sex. Hard to prove (hard, not impossible) a case without the exchange.
While I don't use Paypal for providers, I find Google Wallet simply amazing for my sugar babies! Nice, easy and discrete. Again hard to trace back to my real alter ego!
