Two German amateur marketplaces, reviewed a day apart, made opposite decisions about the same field. One publishes a postcode with the digits stripped out. The other prints the town.
AmateurSeite is the second one. Every listing on its most-popular page carries a name, an age and a city, and every profile adds a distance figure, a height in centimetres, a weight in kilograms and a cup size. This review is about a site that has been running since 2007, holds a genuinely large catalogue, and treats location as a feature rather than a risk.
What AmateurSeite actually is: a marketplace, not a cam site
The home page describes it as the first marketplace for intimate erotica, selling videos, images and webcam sessions from private individuals. That framing matters, because it is a marketplace first and a cam site second. Webcams sit fourth in the navigation, behind Amateurs and Videos, and the front page is a wall of clips rather than a wall of live rooms.
The operator is named in the footer as IDNR, Inc, with a copyright line running 2007 to 2026. There is an Impressum, AGB and Datenschutz set in the German interface, mapping to Imprint, Terms and Conditions and a privacy policy in the English one, plus a Kundensupport link and a Webmaster section carrying WMID: 7071. A German Impressum is a legal requirement rather than a courtesy, and its presence is a small point in the site’s favour: there is a named entity behind this, and a statutory obligation to keep the contact details on it current.
The interface toggles between German and English, and the toggle is partial in the usual way. Navigation labels switch. Category names switch on the category page and not always elsewhere. Everything the members wrote stays in German: titles, bios, the descriptions on each profile. If you do not read German you will be working from thumbnails and numbers.
AmateurSeite by the numbers: 110,921 videos, 2,099 amateurs, 46 categories
Directly under the strapline, the site states its size in three figures: more than 2,099 amateurs, 110,921 videos and 18,845 images currently available.
Publishing a live count is unusual and useful, and the ratio inside it tells you what the site is. Roughly 53 videos per amateur is not a cam roster. It is a back catalogue. The average member here has been uploading for years and has a shop rather than a shift.
Set that against the front page dates. The top videos of the week ranged across August 2026 and the profile examined had clips dated November 2023 and July 2023 still on sale. Nothing is retired. A clip uploaded three years ago sits in the same catalogue as one uploaded this week, which is good for the person who made it and slightly confusing for a buyer who assumes the grid is current.
The category page lists 46 categories, and the list is a fair map of what a German amateur marketplace stocks. Analsex, Autosex, Bad und Dusche, Behaart, Beine und Fuesse, Bisexuell, Black Sex, Blond, Blowjob, Bondage, Bruenett, Brueste, Cum Shot, Dessous, Dicke und Mollige, Exotik, Facesitting, Fetisch, Fisting, Gruppensex, High Heels, Kliniksex, Lack, Latex und Gummi, Lecken, Leder, Lesben, Maschinensex, Mature, Natursekt, Nylon, Oeffentlich, Outdoor, Piercing, Rasiert, Riesenschwaenze, Rothaarig, Schamlippen, Schuhe und Stiefel, Schwarzhaarig, Selbstbefriedigung, Sexspielzeug, SM, Strip, Teens and Transsexuell.
The absence of a live-room count anywhere on the site is the gap in that disclosure. Amateurs, videos and images are counted; webcams are not. On a site where the cam is an extra surface on a seller’s profile rather than the product, that is consistent, but it does mean a visitor arriving for live sessions cannot tell from the front page whether ten rooms are open or two hundred.
Two notes on that list. There is no separate category for the couples and group content that clearly exists in the catalogue beyond Gruppensex, so filtering by configuration is harder than filtering by act. And the categories are all content categories, not people categories: nothing here sorts by nationality or by language, which is a consequence of the site being national rather than global.
Location and privacy: every listing names a city
This is the thing that separates AmateurSeite from everything else in this reference, and it deserves the detail.
The most-popular amateurs page is a grid of tiles. Each tile carries a handle, an age in brackets, and a town. Across a single page of that grid the towns were Frankfurt, Bremen, Muenster, Hamm, Dorsten, Duesseldorf, Cottbus, Berlin, Koeln, Erfurt, Koblenz, Dresden, Nuernberg, Freiburg, Bergisch Gladbach, Esslingen, Dortmund and Herne. Two of those have populations under 80,000. Bergisch Gladbach and Dorsten are not places where a person is one of thousands.
Open a profile and the location becomes a labelled field, Place of residence, sitting directly above a Distance field. Distance is empty for a visitor who has not set their own location, which tells you what it does when one is set: it computes how far the person is from you.
Now compare. AmateurCommunity, a German site in the same category with the same mix of live minutes and clip sales, publishes location as a partial postcode. Most of the digits are replaced with placeholders, leaving one or two leading numerals that narrow to a region and no further. SoulCams bands ages and measurements. CamLust prints the city, and it was one of the marks against it.
AmateurSeite prints the city and then adds a distance calculator on top. The site has been doing this since 2007, which is likely the whole explanation: the contact-ad conventions of the mid-2000s German web are still in the profile template, and nobody has revisited them.
Whether it is a problem depends entirely on who is reading. For a buyer it is a genuine feature, and a site that fuses clip sales with local meeting has an obvious commercial reason to keep it. For someone thinking about broadcasting, a town of 76,000, an exact age, an exact height, an exact weight, a cup size and a face is a combination that resolves to one person for anyone who wants to try.
What an AmateurSeite profile shows
The profile template runs a Fakten block with these fields: Age, Place of residence, Distance, Geschlecht, Certified user, Dabei seit, Height in centimetres, Weight in kilograms, Orientierung, Intim hairs, Figure, Hair color, Eye color and Cup size. Above it sits a free-text section headed So beschreibe ich mich, and three action buttons: send a message, start a webcam, become a fan.
Some of that is standard for the category. Height, weight and cup size appear on plenty of sites, usually banded. Here they are exact, and they sit beside the town and the distance figure in one uninterrupted list.
Certified user: Yes is the one field doing protective work. The public pages do not explain what certification involves or who performs it, so it reads as an age and identity check without saying so. A site that has been operating under German law since 2007 will have something in place; it just is not documented where a visitor can read it. Along with the Dabei seit date, which showed December 2022 on the profile examined, it at least distinguishes a long-standing member from an account opened yesterday.
Ages on the popular page ran from 27 to 57, clustering around 40. That is an older median than most sites in this reference and it is achieved without a Mature tab doing the sorting, which is the same pattern MyDirtyHobby shows and for the same structural reason: on a marketplace where people sell a catalogue over years, the roster ages with the platform.
Selling on AmateurSeite: what a creator gets
Selber Geld verdienen sits in the footer navigation, which is where the recruitment happens.
The case for it is the catalogue model. You are not paid for being online at the right hour. You upload once and it sells indefinitely, and 110,921 videos across 2,099 members says that is what most people here are doing. The webcam is an additional surface on a profile that already earns. There is a fan mechanism, a messaging system and a certified-user flag, all of which favour a member who stays put over one passing through. The audience is German-speaking and reachable in German, so there is no language tax on the marketing.
The case against it is the profile template, and it is not a small case. City, distance, exact age, exact height, exact weight and cup size on one public page, with no banding option visible from outside, is a level of exposure that most current platforms have moved away from for good reasons. Anyone considering this site should establish first whether the location field can be set to a larger city, left blank, or made visible only to logged-in members, because that single answer changes the risk profile of the whole thing.
There is a second structural point in the seller’s favour that is easy to miss. Because the catalogue never expires, a member who stops broadcasting does not stop earning, and the front page mixes clips uploaded this month with clips uploaded three years ago in the same grid. On a live-only platform, stepping back means income stopping the same week. Here it tapers instead. That is a meaningfully different shape of income, and it is the main reason to prefer a marketplace over a token network if the plan is to do this for a while and then not.
The commercial terms are all behind registration. Nothing on the public side states the revenue split on a clip sale, the per-minute rate a member sets or keeps, the currency value of whatever unit the webcam runs on, the payout threshold or the payment schedule. Those go in writing before anything is uploaded, along with a question about how a clip is removed from sale, which matters more here than on a live-only site because the catalogue outlives the account.
Verdict: is AmateurSeite worth using?
What AmateurSeite does well
- Publishes its own inventory figures on the front page, in three specific numbers, updated live
- A named operator, a copyright line going back to 2007, and a full German Impressum, AGB and Datenschutz set
- A catalogue model that pays after the fact, which suits sellers who would rather build a shop than work a shift
- Ages printed without a youth bias in the sort order, median around 40
- A certified-user flag and a joined-since date on every profile
- 46 content categories, cleanly organised
Where AmateurSeite falls short
- Full city on every listing, plus a distance calculator. The most exposing location handling in this reference
- Exact height, weight, age and cup size alongside it, none of it banded
- No pricing published anywhere before registration, for buyers or for sellers
- The English toggle covers the furniture and not the content
- Certification is asserted and never explained
- An interface that is showing all nineteen of its years
The bottom line
AmateurSeite is a real business with a real catalogue, run by a named company under German law for nearly two decades, and the size figures on its front page are the kind of disclosure more sites should copy. As a place to buy amateur clips from German sellers it does the job, and the depth of the back catalogue is the reason to use it over a live-first platform.
The location handling is the problem, and it is not a matter of taste. AmateurCommunity proved that a German marketplace can band the location field and still work, on the same national market, with the same product mix. Printing the town and then calculating the distance to it is a decision that made sense in 2007 and has not been revisited since.
For a buyer, none of that costs you anything, and the fair criticism is only that no price appears until you have an account. For anyone thinking about the other side of it, the first question is not what the split is. It is what the location field can be set to.
