refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one, someone check my working
*Janoshik not the other one
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions, still working it out

coming back to this work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
whats a reasonable network fee to accept
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one

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

thats gone sorry
do the fee maths
sorry to jump in the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
genuine question a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
check first and last four
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel

the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved, not advice obviously
follow up i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need, still working it out

post it in scam watch
genuine question do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
triple check it
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time

invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mgdo you keep the transaction reference and for how long
