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

Highlights from this day
- yyz_vial — slightly off topic but how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment 19:50
- wrong_network — refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one 20:01
- per_mg_pete — do you keep the transaction reference and for how long 20:29
- private_script_pri — a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that, i think work out the network fee before you take the ten percent… 21:27
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
*Janoshik not the other one
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
[edited]the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume

is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
stablecoin while pending
keep the reference
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one

the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to, i think
do the fee maths
triple check it
genuine question i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
coming back after 3 months, has anything changed on fees
wait for confirmations
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one, from memory
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
[edited]update from 20 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed, we shall see
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need, ill dig out the number
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long

a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
right so on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily, not advice obviously
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
no chargebacks

paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
thats gone sorry
polite message usually fixes it
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
check the total
👍1🔥5
check first and last four
discount is standard now
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
thats a scam pattern
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
discount is standard now
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 mga bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that, i think
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it

invoice says $240 and my total came out different, whos wrong
post it in scam watch
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
quick one no escrow here
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
sorry to jump in work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
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
thats gone sorry
polite message usually fixes it, from memory

is paying in two parts ever sensible
