Highlights from this day
- rotate_the_site — is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now 17:02
- hydrate_hana — if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel 17:49
- warsaw_vial — a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that 17:50
- seven_five_sweet — i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time 19:52

paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
has anyone been asked to pay a second time

*that should say weekly
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

thats gone sorry
no escrow here
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
Batch lookup KP-0925: 2 independent reports on file, earliest 2024-06-13.
coming back after 4 months, has anything changed on fees
update from 23 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
thats a scam pattern
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment
what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
stablecoin while pending
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
