  • tenpence — a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try 16:44
  • two_three_lifts — sent to the wrong network, is there any way back 17:17
  • two_three_lifts — a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that 17:18

if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel

work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it

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

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

slightly off topic but whats a reasonable network fee to accept

anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update

nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this, ask me again in a month

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything, for what its worth

sent to the wrong network, is there any way back

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

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

a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try

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

do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work

VV

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