Highlights from this day
- hard_stop_hal — is paying in two parts ever sensible 12:56
- hard_stop_hal — the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume, happy to be corrected 12:57
- meal_prep_mick — a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that 13:01
- blind_submit — there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one 15:52
- blind_submit — i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message, happy to be corrected 16:10
thats a scam pattern

has anyone been asked to pay a second time
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

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
wait for confirmations
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
discount is standard now

what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to

stablecoin or not while an order is pending
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try, n of 1 obviously
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update
do the fee maths
*Janoshik not the other one
thats gone sorry
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time, not advice obviously

do you check the whole address or just the ends
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now
no chargebacks

work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it, your mileage will differ
split_the_costa wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will…
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

polite message usually fixes it
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
no escrow here
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice

check the total, happy to be corrected
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
triple check it, happy to be corrected
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
stablecoin while pending
unrelated but is there any chargeback route at all
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
genuine question invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
post it in scam watch
coming back after 19 months, has anything changed on fees
do the fee maths
polite message usually fixes it
