Hello,

I have a legal company registered in greece. The website i am talking about allows users & escorts to place their ads. Currently i am accepting payments with flexepin. Payments are offered as an option for users to move their ad on top, make it premium etc.

All merchant gateways says no because i have no previous history of card charging. I think i tried on most.

Only PayCly said yes, but they ask for 1600$ for setup , plus 350$ monthly and minimum 5000$ withdraw.

I read scary reviews on trustpilot about them. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Other option i get is WebPays. Anyone tried any of the two and can confirm things work at least - if not suggest an alternative?

Im speaking with ActionMan but he doesn't really like the "starting" of business which means probably low volume. I can't understand how a business can start with 100k monthly :/

That's not exactly what I meant, Chris. What I'm saying is that when it comes to high-risk clients, we prefer working with clients who have higher volumes to justify the risks involved in processing for them (mainly CBs and the likes).

A significant portion of our clients are from China, specifically Chinese businesses with factories in Shenzhen and nearby areas. They mainly deal in replicas and process anywhere between $100k to $1 million daily.

Of course, I'm not comparing you directly to them, but we do have an internal minimum that we're comfortable with. However, if the business is solid and has potential to scale, we're always open to further discussions. Check your Telegram, I've replied to you there!

They should at least respond to you, makes their advertising more relevant.

I'm still today with no solution at all - except for paycli with the mentioned rates above :/

They have a mentor group gold AD thread here so of course they read everything about them. Anyway, good you got a response at least.

Did you try one of these:

Thread 'List of High Risk payment processor I just found!'​

Sep 6, 2024
I have just put together this small list of High Payment processors, which you can find below. It is posted here in the Mentor Group Gold so that we can preserve them for as long as possible and to prevent them from being overrun, which would make it much more difficult for the rest of us to get an account with them.

I haven't had the chance to test them yet, other than doing some research on them and adding them to my list so that I can try them out one by one.

have you tried with eMerchantpay which also is in the resource database, they are pretty relaxed with most "not to risky" business.
 
Yes..

Instabill: "Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to assist with a merchant account with no processing history."
CCBill: "Based on the information provided, your business model (any kind of escort) is not something for which CCBill can currently provide processing services."

Yes. They accepted me but they have these two rules which complicate it too much:
1. Site must change hosting. They don't accept sites hosted on USA
2. They require you to store copy of ID cards of all people who add a listing on the escort site. Not just the people who pay for anything. ALL the people who have an escort ad.

So, the rule 2 is really hard to follow. Most escorts trying to keep their anonymity. Noone would be happy to send copy of their id, they will just not use the site at all
 
i remember i read somewhere here in forum, people were offering to create a company with a stripe account, that you were going to get the payments through crypto. Maybe that's my only solution for now, so i can have soon a 6 months card processsing! Problem is that i can't find those posts.

Anyone maybe can help nme / point me to those posts, because it seems that i am on dead end with no solution on the horizon.

No matter how much i try to explain to companies that the payments done on my site will have nothing to do with the end customers paying the escort of their choise, they are still afraid that pamynets will flow under the table to escorts.

So, please, if anyone walked this path before me, again please, help me to find a solution. My website is +40 every month on organic traffic. I just miss the next step on my journey so i can start converting all this work to money..

Thank you very mudh
 
You want to contact @MichaelUniq @Creocree @Shories and check out other services who have a mentor group gold AD around here.

That said, ESCORT service is very complicated to place with any merchant account provider if you don't have clear setup and try to follow the advise you get.

If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability!
My personal favorite thread posted in the Mentor Group. Group of investment companies to avoid licensing.

Stay away from @ActionMan if you value your time and don't want to waste it.

I actually wanted to reply to you here but I will just write here...

I work with many high risk payment processors and I have talked to many. When I read in the other thread:

However, we have a firm policy against high chargebacks (CBs). This is non-negotiable and something we will never accept.

This was a red-flag for me - it was as if someone who doesn't have experience got an instruction from a boss who is starting something new in high risk and repeating it verbatim without knowing better.

When I deal with a high-risk processor, I want to hear words like - we can give you X monthly cap, and your CB numbers should be below Y (or Z%) with TC-40 reports not exceeding XX%. Not something like what was written above.

But anyway I didn't post there because I didn't want to cause drama, but since you already mentioned your experience I thought I'd add my 2 cents.
