Deposits

[Andrea Davis]

I personally require deposits. I don't require deposits for 1 Hour appointments though. The deposit is based on how much time you are booking. Most gentlemen don't have a problem with paying a deposit. If they have an issue with paying a deposit they are welcome to just schedule an hour or find someone else to see. I also have a very strict cancellation policy as well. I require 72 hours notice for cancellations. If you paid a deposit and none of it was for travel purposes I just hold your deposit. If no deposit was paid then I expect to be compensated my full fee. Due to the fact I tour so much, I do let gentlemen know far in advance if I am not going to have enough bookings to visit their city. I don't confirm any appointments for a tour city until I know I have enough appointments to go. I don't think that is fare to the gentlemen. In the event that I have confirmed but I have to cancel a deposit is returned and I also offer additional time or a discount on an appointment at a later date.

I don’t really mind putting down a deposit. I have yet to be taken advantage of by doing so.

Seems to me that if you are putting up this much of a fight right off the bat, it’s a self selecting problem if you refuse to see a lady. I’ve handled contracts for equipment, material, and labor into the tens of millions of dollars and good luck getting what you want without assurance they will be paid for services rendered. That is for multibillion dollar corporations, let alone some random guy doing something like this. It’s a way to share the risk. Of course, if a lady does ghost a guy with a deposit and doesn’t make it right, we need to hear about it, which is the point of places like Eccie to begin with.

Sorry but you guys come off like a bunch of cheap whiners to me.

A majority of ladies in this not so legal business have been known to take advantage of the deposit.
I'm not speaking about all of them, but a majority have done it.
In RW business like yours, we have the legal system to help those who were taken advantage of.
Those contracts you speak of are legal documents.
You don't have a leg to stand on if a provider runs off with your cash.
Just look at the alert and encounter sections for proof.
Reviews and screening helps, but you never know.
What married man will go to the police to file a charge against a hooker for stealing his cash???
You have no reviews, you have given zero helpful information to the hobby.
Why would we listen to your bullshit? Because we know better. We see good information from guys and girls who give us reliable real work escort information.
For all we know, you may be a pimp or have a handle.

Very well said @ omg_lol

"Deposits" are getting popular because men are willingly paying it, same as sending their ID. As such, scammers feast well. I know of at least 4 twitter accounts each with 100K followers passing themselves off as providers who charge deposits then block the person. Men don't report it, except write a bad review or tweet about it but the majority of men who hobby don't read reviews. As long as you know that when you send it, it's gone forever whether or not the chick actually shows, have fun. Me, I'll compensate after the deal, I only go out once a year with a regular anyways.

I have found some really good providers in areas that I work, with the exception of 1 area.

These ladies know I will show up, or will have a place for them to meet me.

The better they treat me, the better I treat them.
No need for a deposit. We are in this mutual purposes.

The trust we have is for showing up to the date, not for blindly handing over money.

If I see a new provider in one of those areas that interests me, I will contact her.

If a deposit is required, I will go back to the ladies I know will show up without a deposit.

No deposit EVER!!!. If I have to pay a lady BEFORE I see her then she is off the list. Only suckers pay deposits

I have only paid a deposit once because most of the ladies I have seen have not asked for one. But the deposit I did pay was refunded to me when the lady had to cancel her tour to my city.
