network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths

GG

work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it

paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it

is there any chargeback route at all
update from 5 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed

i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single 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

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

sorry to jump in i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything, someone check my working

the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to

triple check it

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

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
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one

coming back to this the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
