- split_the_cost — quick one i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything 21:56
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
for the archive i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message

the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
check first and last four

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment

invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send, thats one data point
whats a reasonable network fee to accept

keep the reference
genuine question is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
stablecoin while pending
thats gone sorry
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
update from 16 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
no escrow here
right so stablecoin or not while an order is pending

no chargebacks
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need

polite message usually fixes it

do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
wait for confirmations
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this, thats one data point
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel, i have it written down somewhere
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
