BB

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

wait for confirmations

do you check the whole address or just the ends

BB

if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel

TT

do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment

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

VB

Channel stats, last 30 days: 12 messages from 54 members.

EE

the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved

DD

refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one

update from 20 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed

*Janoshik not the other one

has anyone been asked to pay a second time

BF

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one

BB

work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it

is paying in two parts ever sensible

GG

sent to the wrong network, is there any way back

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 mg

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything, n of 1 obviously

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily

anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update

is there any chargeback route at all

no chargebacks

GG

i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice, for what its worth

i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time

RR

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message

TT

coming back after 4 months, has anything changed on fees

VB

Verification log updated: SGN — evidence added, status unchanged.

TT

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

RR

how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid

EE

paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it

do the fee maths

a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
