Selling feet pics safely on feetpics.com

Your conversation is the record

Picture a fan who wants ten close-ups of your toes in a pale pink polish. He sends you a request, and you answer in your inbox on feetpics.com with an offer and a short teaser. He pays you directly, and you deliver the set to his inbox. Every step of that sale is written down in one thread.

Keep it that way. A deal moved to a phone number or another app loses that thread, and with it the proof of what was agreed. Inside the site the moderation team reads every report, and a block stops contact in both directions.

Public photos and clips on feetpics.com are checked automatically, and our team reviews anything flagged. What you send to one fan is your own choice, so you alone decide what goes out and who receives it.

Getting paid directly

Fans pay you directly with a method you add under Get paid, such as PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, a bank transfer, crypto or another way. feetpics.com is not part of a direct payment, so the moment that counts is when it has really landed in your own account. Only then tap Payment received on the order card. Some habits help.

• Refuse gift cards and vouchers. Once that kind of payment is sent it cannot be undone, and fraudsters like it for exactly that reason.
• Know what your method can undo. A PayPal Goods and Services payment can be disputed by the buyer, a bank transfer can sometimes be recalled, and a crypto payment can't be reversed. Deliver once the money is final in your own app.
• Distrust payment notices from strangers. The FTC warns people who sell online not to rely on a mobile payment alert from someone they don't know.
• Know what your method shows. PayPal, Cash App, Venmo and a bank transfer show the fan the name on your account. A business name, a nickname cashtag or crypto keeps your own name private.

Begin with one set

When a fan is new to you, agree on one set first. Deliver it once the payment has landed in your own account, and tell him in your inbox that it is there. How to deliver a set safely covers the details.

Red flags in a conversation

Each one below names the report reason to choose. Report and Block sit in the menu of every inbox thread and on every profile.

Proof of payment that proves nothing

You see a screenshot of a finished transfer, or a mail saying your money is "on hold until the set is sent". It is fake and built to make you deliver before you check. You do open your own bank or payment app, not a link the fan sends, and deliver only once the money has landed. Report as Scam or fraud.

Paying too much on purpose

You see a fan paying more than the agreed price, then asking for the difference back with an excuse. A fake cheque can go unnoticed for weeks, and whoever paid it in owes the bank. You do turn down anything above the agreed price and send nothing back until your bank says the payment is final. Report as Scam or fraud.

"Write to me on another app"

You see an early request to swap to an app, an email or a phone number, framed as easier. Once you leave, the report and block buttons and the written thread stay behind. You do decline once and keep talking on feetpics.com. Report as Wants to move off feetpics.com.

Proof photos and freebies

You see a request for an extra picture "to prove you're real", a photo of your ID or face, or a free foot pic before anything is agreed. You do point to your page and your teaser. That is all any fan is owed, and nobody here needs your ID or your face. If the pressure grows, close the conversation. Report as Harassment or abuse, or Photo of me without my consent if your pictures are being shared.

Codes and card details

You see "forward me the code you just received" or a request for card details "so I can send you money". A code sent to your phone can hand a stranger control of an account. You do keep codes, passwords and card numbers out of everything you write, and use a separate passphrase and two-step login for your accounts. Report as Scam or fraud.

Rushing and guilt

You see "pay within five minutes or it's gone", a sad story that ends with a request for an advance, or a discount demanded after you delivered. You do take your time. Anything that cannot wait for you to read the thread twice is not a good deal. Say no once, plainly, then stop answering. Report as Harassment or abuse if threats follow, Scam or fraud if money is asked for up front.

Set limits before the first request

You choose what you sell. Put your limits on your page: which shots you offer, which specialties you pick, what you will not do. Keep your face, tattoos, house number and anything that gives away where you live out of frame. What can identify you goes through the checklist. A good fan works within your limits. Someone who keeps arguing with them has shown you who they are.

Threats and sextortion

If someone says they will post your photos or expose you unless you pay, that is extortion. In short, the UK National Crime Agency tells adults to do the following.

• Pay nothing. Payment may not end the threats.
• End contact. Block the person on every channel they used. Here on feetpics.com, a report under Harassment or abuse comes first, the block second.
• Keep the proof. Delete nothing they sent, images or payment details included. Screenshot the conversation with their nickname showing.
• Call the police. In the UK dial 101, or 999 when you are in immediate danger. People in England, Wales and Northern Ireland can also report fraud and cybercrime to Report Fraud. US victims can file at ic3.gov. In other countries, contact the local police.
• Get images taken down. StopNCII is free, named by the NCA, and helps find and remove intimate images online. In the UK the Revenge Porn Helpline offers free, confidential help as well.

Some companies charge victims for "help". Avoid them, because police and non-profit services do this for free.

Signs of a fan you can trust

• Clear requests. A fan who knows what they want, writes it out and respects your limits is easy to work with.
• Questions about the set. Real fans ask about angles, polish, shoe size or the setting. Scammers ask for your phone number.
• Patience with replies. Not everyone is online all day, so a slow answer is no warning sign.
• Reviews worth reading. Read what people wrote, not only the stars.

How reports and blocks work

Nobody is told who reported them. The moderation team sees the reason you chose and any note you write. Pick the closest reason and add the rest in your own words.

• Spam or fake account for mass mailings, bots and copied photos
• Scam or fraud for money up front, fake payments or a fan who never pays
• Wants to move off feetpics.com for a push to pay or talk somewhere else
• Harassment or abuse for pressure, insults, threats and unwanted explicit content
• Might be under 18 for anything that suggests a minor
• Photo of me without my consent when your pictures appear somewhere you did not agree to
• Something else for anything that does not fit, with a few words in the note

You can block with or without a report. After a block neither of you can write to the other, and you vanish from each other's lists. To undo it, open Settings and choose Blocked accounts.
