Highlights from this day
- spreadsheet_stu — on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily 13:25
- factory_direct_fi — a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that 13:29
- customs_owl — nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this 14:02
sorry to jump in is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does

refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
coming back to this the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume

no escrow here

what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
update from 21 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
triple check it
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to, take that with a pinch of salt
post it in scam watch
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
quick one is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions, thats just me

the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one, ill dig out the number

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message

i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice

a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need

wait for confirmations
is paying in two parts ever sensible
right so work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
check first and last four, still working it out
invoice says £94 and my total came out different, whos wrong
coming back to this do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
polite message usually fixes it
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
coming back to this sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
stablecoin while pending
no chargebacks
