Highlights from this day
- taper_or_not — what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment 13:19
- taper_or_not — if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel, from memory 14:37
- orfor_watch — nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this 14:52
- vial_ledger — i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time, for what its worth 15:40
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
discount is standard now
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment

do the fee maths
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
keep the reference
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily, not advice obviously
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
wait for confirmations

refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
quick one a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
for the archive check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel, from memory

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

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
🧪2⚠️1
polite message usually fixes it
[edited]quick one i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
do you check the whole address or just the ends
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
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, someone check my working
coming back after 24 months, has anything changed on fees
update from 17 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
thats a scam pattern
right so thats gone sorry, ask me again in a month
triple check it
