how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
thats gone sorry
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
whats a reasonable network fee to accept
update on the earlier thing i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now
polite message usually fixes it
is there any chargeback route at all
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
discount is standard now
for the archive update from 18 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed, your mileage will differ
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to

check first and last four
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
keep the reference
📉3
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
is paying in two parts ever sensible
coming back after 23 months, has anything changed on fees
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
