update on the earlier thing is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea

is there any chargeback route at all

check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

*Medutest not the other one

invoice says £72 and my total came out different, whos wrong

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

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this

LO

do you check the whole address or just the ends

LO

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily

CS

update on the earlier thing work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats 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

whats a reasonable network fee to accept

a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send

slightly off topic but do you keep the transaction reference and for how long

AA

i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time

network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything, still working it out

the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume

II

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

a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
