the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
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

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one, we shall see
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update
[edited]thats gone sorry
post it in scam watch
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, still working it out
stablecoin while pending
keep the reference
whats a reasonable network fee to accept
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
no chargebacks
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
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
genuine question i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time, happy to be corrected
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
do you check the whole address or just the ends
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
wait for confirmations
check first and last four
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
