Hi @Steveofun, I know the issue your hitting you need to see the dollar amount live in your pending transactions so can confirm. I hit the same issue. Personally I've started using an account from one of the challenger banks so Monzo, Starling... one of them they show the amount in the description. If you can't do that I've found dividing the £ amount by the MasterCard listed exchange rate also works. You can use xe.com set it from £ to $ enter the pound amount and convert it, round it up to 2 digits and it'll work. If the $ amount is sat 2.756 round it up 2.76. If its 2.754 as an example round it down to 2.75.

Hope it helps.

Thanks it appears to be working now and i don't need to confirm my tesco MasterCard card i purchased 10 dollars on the wallet but everytime i try to subscribe it keeps charging my card any ideas how i change to wallet thanks.

Never had to do it but using the 'Make wallet primary method for rebills' in the payments screen might do it. Not sure if its only for just re-bills or new subs as well. Enabling it will certainly make a renewal go from you Wallet balance. Make sure auto-popup is turned off.

It's not supposed to work like that. Not according to what OnlyFans claim anyway.

"Adding funds to your wallet allows you to subscribe to any user, send tips or unlock paid messages without making a credit card transaction every time. Your wallet balance will be used by default as long as it is sufficient for the attempted purchase (or subscription auto-renew)."

It looks like it's not working the way it's meant to.

It's doesn't make much sense. If "Your wallet balance will be used by default" then what's the purpose of the option to "Make wallet primary method for rebills"?

This is a very good point. As Wardjackson says, most cards charge you a 3% foreign transaction fee. If you make a lot of foreign transactions it could add up to a significant amount of money, so it would be worth looking for a card that doesn't make this charge.

Most of the challenger banks don't charge the extra now and some of the major credit card providers like the challenger banks (monzo for example) now only charge the MasterCard / Visa exchange rate if its a purchase (as opposed to cash) you can get a good guess of what you might pay on the MasterCard website as they have a good conversion tool. Well worth doing a conversion before you buy even waiting a day can save you at the moment :-)

There is a way around that problem. If you unlink your credit card then any future charges will automatically be applied to your wallet. Of course that does create another issue, in that next time you want to add funds to your wallet you'll have to go through the process of confirming your card again.

There seems to be a problem with Onlyfans.
A few of the girls are complaining that they can't access their sites.
