Do people ACTUALLY join with a Money Order?
 

I'm thinking about taking mail orders for my site since I see others doing it. But I wanted to know if it's worth it. Do people REALLY bother to send in money orders to get access to a site a week later?

lol...fuck that...

Yeah, they do.

One guy wrote a friend of mine and asked if he'd accept western union.

If they don't have a credit card, etc... I don't see why they wouldn't. If you don't get the money order, they don't get access...that simple. I use to own a cam site and people would send money orders in to buy minutes with the girls. More payment options is never bad IMO... except 900 billing... I have had nothing but headaches with that.

Yes, many do because they don't want to get busted by their spouse. :1orglaugh

A very good friend of mine has a rather large amateur type site, and she says she gets and unbelievable amount of cash and money order payments in the mail. Several a day. So yes, people do mail in payments :)

Many do so because they don't have a checking account or credit card and a surprising number do so for privacy (wives and such.)

ditto

I wouldn't even fuck with money orders as a payment method. The time it would take and the average conversion of people buying with M/O would not be worth it.

Unless the spouse finds a stack of money order receipts and wonders what he is buying. :helpme

Is that what all of those money order receipts I found in your laundry are for?:mad:

yup we get them ALLLL of the time... I think they don't want their wife to catch them.

We get several every week. Also many people use this method to order videos too.



I'd estimate that we do $4-$5k/year in cash/money order sales.

we get lots of requests for this, about 1/day (even though it's never been mentioned anywhere on a join page). i considered setting something up, but the hassle was never really worth it.

so i never bothered. would also have to get some sort of id photocopy. and i could just imagine all the 'lost in the mail' bullshit this would create.

good point... I never ran into "lost in the mail" but I also included I was not responsible for lost mail. Suggested they send registered, etc if they were worried.

We used to take money orders - even cash - in the mail with never any problems.

We asked for a photocopy of their licence with the address blanked out and told them to sign an accompanying letter so that we could compare signatures.

It worked fine for us and we had quite a few of those guys stay with us right to the time we closed the site.

Ummm....errrrrrr....ahhhh....no... those were for all the flowers I buy you.... yeah thats it..... flowers I tell ya.....

give a try couldnt hurt, may help

I get about 8 - 10 per month. Nothing major but it all adds up. :thumbsup

Yes they do:thumbsup

i try to give people the most amount of options when they wanna pay me. :)

as quiet said the lost in the mail bullshit would reach new heights. This is the reason no one does COD any more.

Ummm. . . no fees taken out . . . it's like cash . . . how is that a bad thing?

Anyway, if a money order is a hassle in someone's opinion to accept, just charge more for those memberships, or make them only available for 6 month or 1 year memberships that cost more.

I love money orders!!!! :Graucho

5% of our signups are mail order, cash or personal check.
you are missing 5% of business if you do not put the option on your site.

i figure they'd join if it was a site with a personal touch on it, like a single girl site.
