ok so how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment
if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel

Highlights from this day
- nordic_price_nils — a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to 11:58
- travel_cooler — follow up on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily 12:08
- reta_resting_hr — sorry to jump in is paying in two parts ever sensible 13:51
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this

a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that

what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
triple check it

i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice, thats one data point
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mgthere are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one, we shall see
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
Reminder for reta_resting_hr: dose day is today. Set 4 days ago.
discount is standard now
follow up on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily

Batch lookup B-0114: 4 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-05-16.
for the archive do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
[edited]a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try

i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
check the total
polite message usually fixes it

network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it, not advice obviously
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
[edited]unrelated but the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume, from memory
