- aliquot_ada — unrelated but update from 3 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed 21:37
- relabel_watch — is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now 22:07
- noct.titrate — slightly off topic but do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution 22:14
- first_and_last_four — do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work 22:52

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 mg💀13📉9😂3
quick one has anyone been asked to pay a second time

nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
for the archive if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel

what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
triple check it
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
slightly off topic but do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
is there any chargeback route at all
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need, thats just me
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
is paying in two parts ever sensible
polite message usually fixes it
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work

check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily

no escrow here
post it in scam watch
