Two things with booking an SP that I find frustrating. The first one may have a solution with some suggestions from here. It's Sp's asking for a deposit. I understand the reasoning but there is no way that I can use my joint bank account to send a deposit for obvious reasons. There must be better secretive ways to send a depo? My second peev is the large numbers of providers asking for a 90min or 2 hour booking as a first time client. Frustrating because I want to book some of these particular SP's but the extra fee is becoming a turn-off with booking them. Seems like poor marketing on the SP's side. Several providers in particular that are of interest have a $300-$350 per hour fee that I am ok with but 1st timers must shell out $500. Do they want a small bunch of one time $500 dates or a large number of regular repeat $350 dates.
