Highlights from this day

- acetate_ash — there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one, still working it out 19:57
- no_escrow_nate — i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything, take that with a pinch of salt 20:48
- provincial_pat — do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution 21:23
- provincial_pat — is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea 21:24
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it, i could be wrong
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
stablecoin while pending
discount is standard now
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
invoice says £72 and my total came out different, whos wrong
ok so paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one, still working it out

if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
triple check it
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
ok so i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything, take that with a pinch of salt

the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to, thats just me
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
