Highlights from this day
- week_zero — refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one 21:04
- no_chargeback — update on the earlier thing do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution 21:17
- no_chargeback — i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice 21:19

stablecoin or not while an order is pending
keep the reference
triple check it

do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
polite message usually fixes it
unrelated but how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
