Highlights from this day
- provincial_pat — refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one 20:59
- provincial_pat — slightly off topic but i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message, for what its worth 21:19
- gradient_greg — is there any chargeback route at all the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved 21:48
sorry to jump in a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that, ask me again in a month
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
do the fee maths
Reminder for gradient_greg: dose day is today. Set 4 days ago.
genuine question do you check the whole address or just the ends

a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
post it in scam watch
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
triple check it
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice, still working it out
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
is there any chargeback route at all

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
ok so invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
wait for confirmations
ok so coming back after 3 months, has anything changed on fees
is paying in two parts ever sensible
thats gone sorry
