is paying in two parts ever sensible
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

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

how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment

CC

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

VO

how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid

[edited]

do you check the whole address or just the ends
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

CC

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

[edited]

has anyone been asked to pay a second time

VO

if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message

CC

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

VO

check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
