work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
#payments 2025-06-28
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
keep the reference
invoice says $72 and my total came out different, whos wrong
triple check it
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now
stablecoin while pending
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
update from 25 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
ok so is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update
[edited]network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
polite message usually fixes it
check first and last four
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 mgif you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this, n of 1 obviously
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that, ask me again in a month
post it in scam watch
thats gone sorry
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 mgdo you check the whole address or just the ends
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to, ymmv
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
