the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
*Medutest not the other one
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
do the fee maths
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
[edited]thats gone sorry
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need, thats just me
*PeptideMeter not the other one
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
post it in scam watch
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved, i have it written down somewhere
no chargebacks
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
stablecoin while pending
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
check the total
no escrow here
