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

Highlights from this day
- blank_run — i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice 03:39
- no_appetite_nia — invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send i have had a payment confirm and the order not update… 05:04
- wrong_network — there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one 06:23
- wrong_network — a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that 06:27
- no_appetite_nia — coming back after 19 months, has anything changed on fees 07:00
*that should say weekly
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now
discount is standard now
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
do you check the whole address or just the ends
no chargebacks
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
polite message usually fixes it
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
right so on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
genuine question if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
check first and last four
invoice says €240 and my total came out different, whos wrong
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
keep the reference
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
genuine question i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
post it in scam watch
right so the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
has anyone been asked to pay a second time

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything, not advice obviously
thats gone sorry
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
[edited]there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one

triple check it, i could be wrong
do the fee maths
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
