Highlights from this day
- customs_owl — check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and… 15:29
- tarpit_tam — do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution 15:30
- customs_owl — on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily 15:34
- tarpit_tam — update from 24 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed 17:08
no chargebacks
for the archive i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
right so what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily

is paying in two parts ever sensible
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
invoice says €240 and my total came out different, whos wrong
while im here whats a reasonable network fee to accept
coming back to this invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
coming back after 4 months, has anything changed on fees
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
check the total
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now
update from 24 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed

do you check the whole address or just the ends
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
post it in scam watch
[edited]i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
genuine question a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need

nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
[edited]is there any chargeback route at all
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update
