ok so paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it

Highlights from this day
- ms_ms_mira — nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this, someone check my working 07:52
- tesa_tess — ok so i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice 12:57
- two_lifts_a_week — refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one, i could be wrong 13:04
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now

if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel

do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
thats a scam pattern
do you check the whole address or just the ends
ok so update from 11 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
no chargebacks

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
triple check it

polite message usually fixes it
