  • per_mg_pete — slightly off topic but the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to 21:21
  • per_mg_pete — is paying in two parts ever sensible 22:16
  • per_mg_pete — a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that 22:33
  • bengaluru_bac — has anyone been asked to pay a second time 22:52
  • point_two_five — 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… 23:08

no chargebacks

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

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

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

PM

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one, ill dig out the number

LN

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message

do the fee maths

PM

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

nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this

ok so refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one

NE

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

PM

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

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 mg

i 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

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