no chargebacks
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
slightly off topic but the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
update from 22 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
polite message usually fixes it
coming back after 3 months, has anything changed on fees
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, ill dig out the number
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
do the fee maths
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
wait for confirmations
[edited]nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
discount is standard now
is paying in two parts ever sensible
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
ok so refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
no escrow here
genuine question do you check the whole address or just the ends
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
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 mgi triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
post it in scam watch
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
check the total
while im here how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
invoice says £72 and my total came out different, whos wrong
