That'd be interesting. Just like CC's all one really needs is a legit seeming cover business.. and in theory that'd also provide a legit looking income, even with pesky taxes involved somewhere... so one would think it would make sense for more to do so, but like everything else in this world would have its own set of risks and takes a degree of savvy, luck, and nerve.
Even though Ebay bought them out, I don't know if i'd trust it personally as a Provider. Remember when people (and Lawyers) were wondering what recourse someone had if a problem occured during payment.
hope one or two of the ladies "in the know" on this subject would post a response; albeit, for some reason I seem to remember that Paypal and "adult" kinds of transactions do not relate well with one another..
Most ladies hesitate to take CC or paypal because clients can have the session, and then stop payment on the transaction. It's not nearly as uncommon as you might think. Ask any lady that's ever been in the webcam business...
Such a bad idea to use PalPal or credit cards. The transaction leaves a paper trail for your SO and Ellie. Also, the provider could possibly get your personal info, depending on how the CC is charged. You know why that could be a bad thing.
You can always mention in your payment that it's not for a "service". Don't say eBAY unless you have an auction number to prove it....but you can say something else like some of the choices they give:
Gift
Living expense
Payment owed
Other
Just don't check off services.
If you really want to remain incognito about it, you can always post an eBay item. Maybe just a postcard....with a buy it now feature for say, 250$. Ebay of course will take a fee out of it, so maybe make the card cost 270 to cover ebay & paypal fees. They could do it that way too. Then it just looks like an eBay purchase.
Of course, the client would know your eBay handle and if you're okay with that, then fine. Have him standing by his computer the moment you post the auction. That way he can buy immediately.
I have the option for both CC which basically uses paypal. I have had some known clients use this option, and I never recieve any type of their personal info other than their name. I always request that they select they are making a donation or gift. And as soon as it is posted, I transfer out of account immediately. I understand it is not comfortable for everyone, but I had many of my regulars ask if I could do it because it was a tax ride off for their business. In addition, what is on the card statement is not linked to any type of hobby related business.
Credit card charges can be challenged for months after the event. For trusted clients it is a viable option but for new clients it is risky and if I was a provider I would not do it. There are too many jackasses out there.

Jez...it's still a paper trail, and if someone's writing it off as a *tax* write-off, then I'd worry about the IRS waaay before anything else!
I file and pay my taxes. There is nothing illegal about being an escort. I file under a personal entertainer. I have done my research and have an accountant for such matters.
NJ.. Really ? Hmm.. I think if I knew how to set up paypal I prob would but just for regulars and trusted clients only... Pm me Nj if u get a chance and et me know about the taxes... Thanks hunny!
Yes, its really a service I only offer to well known clients. But the best advice I can tell you is to hire a accountant that is "hobby knowledgable". They can make magic happen and it all be legit.
