Highlights from this day
- first_month_fi — i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time 21:05
- first_month_fi — do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution 21:06
- step_one_sian — invoice says $55 and my total came out different, whos wrong 21:40

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
unrelated but the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
sorry to jump in is there any chargeback route at all

whats a reasonable network fee to accept

invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
no escrow here
for the archive the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try

is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
