nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this

Highlights from this day
- septum_sal — the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved 15:10
- lipase_lore — do you keep the transaction reference and for how long 17:07
- customs_owl — work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it 17:33
- pinch_not_stretch — the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to 19:06
while im here sent to the wrong network, is there any way back

a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
triple check it
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
update from 4 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed

hair_month_fouri have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with…
unrelated but invoice says $240 and my total came out different, whos wrong
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it, thats one data point
i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
sorry to jump in 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
check first and last four
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice, i think
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now

what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
has anyone been asked to pay a second time

discount is standard now
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long

a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try

whats a reasonable network fee to accept
update from 12 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
do you check the whole address or just the ends
polite message usually fixes it
wait for confirmations
slightly off topic but invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
do the fee maths
no escrow here

the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one, someone check my working
[edited]on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily, ymmv
coming back after 1 months, has anything changed on fees
thats gone sorry
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
