is there any chargeback route at all
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update
[edited]work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
do the fee maths
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to, still working it out
polite message usually fixes it
check the total
thats a scam pattern
wait for confirmations
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that, i have it written down somewhere
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
update from 1 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
for the archive 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, take that with a pinch of salt
coming back after 8 months, has anything changed on fees
