- dexa_or_bia — work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it 07:12

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

whats a reasonable network fee to accept
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it

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

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
