a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try

work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it

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

nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this

TT

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

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily

RR

unrelated but how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment

do the fee maths

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

Purity check: no report on file for lot F-1330. Nothing logged either way.

BD

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time

BD

invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send

BD

a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that

*that should say weekly

VB

Inter-lab diff for lot C-4402: 99.2% vs 98.6%. Within expected range.

BB

the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume

refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one, thats just me

RR

do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

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

SA

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

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one

MP

check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

SA

i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time

21:02quiet.hours pinned a message to this channel

check the total

the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily

MP

coming back to this no escrow here, i have it written down somewhere

do you check the whole address or just the ends
