Tips, treats & gifts (payment methods) -
UPDATED MARCH 2024
IMPORTANT -
We say "payment" in inverted commas because really in sex work ALL payment providers do not allow payments in exchange for any sex work services.
EDUK do not take payments on behalf of our sellers & we do not use bit coins/kink coins either.
You can add any amount of "gift" links within your EDUK profile.
GIFT IDEAS -
WISHLISTS -
1. WISHHUSH - https://www.wishhush.com/
2. TIPFUNDER - https://www.tipfunder.com/
3. THRONE - https://throne.com/landing
It is best to follow the below steps to ensure any accounts do not get closed down & your money withheld -
1. Ensure your tips page looks "vanilla" so use a different name from your sex work screen name - for example "Gails Gaming" OR "Maddie's Makeup" etc...
2. Ensure you do not include any links to your sex work selling pages.
3. Absolutely do not upload any of your sex work photos.
4. Explain to buyers that they are no refunds for gifts.
5. Explain to buyers not to leave any messages or notes.
6. Add a new "vanilla" social media link to match your profile.
7. You do need to verify with photo ID.

BENEFITS -
You have the choice on what vouchers you need, it is anonymous as not details are given to your buyer - apart from your email address.
FEES -
They are no fees or charges.
NOT RECEIVED YOUR E-GIFT CARD? -
It can take up to a few hours for you to receive your e-gift card email (in some cases for new accounts and busy periods - it can take up to 24 hours) after around 2 hours it is best to check your spam/junk email folder within your email account.
Check that your buyer has used the correct email address for you to receive the egift card.
PAYING TAX -
You do have to file your taxes if you are self employed.
BUYER REFUNDS -
Refunds overall shouldn't be given to buyers. Each service is unique/bespoke - you do need to cover your time. So EDUK recommend before you accept a "payment" from a buyer - that you inform them that no refunds can be given.
HALF A REFUND -
If an item gets lost or damaged in the post, I'd suggest half a refund to the buyer - to cover the cost of your photos and your time.
FULL REFUND -
A full refund should be given to your buyer if - your buyer has paid for a special delivery service or the parcel is insured & you are making a claim to recover your costs.
You must ALWAYS give your buyers a refund if you cancel an order yourself or you don't send the goods for any reason. I've seen sellers take money from buyers, not deliver the goods and then block them.... This is a big no no! You'll get a bad reputation if you do this and just to make it perfectly clear that if you did this on EDUK you'll be suspended ASAP!
Good luck!
