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

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

do you keep the transaction reference and for how long

if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel

VL

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send

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

check first and last four

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

SS

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

anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message, take that with a pinch of salt

sorry to jump in do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work

SS

invoice says $120 and my total came out different, whos wrong

VL

i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice, ask me again in a month
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one

the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
