Highlights from this day
- subq_sy — do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything 22:29
- subq_sy — for the archive do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution 22:34
- subq_sy — i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single… 22:38
- bengaluru_bac — a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try 22:43
- bengaluru_bac — the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume, n of 1 obviously 23:01
what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
is there any chargeback route at all
for the archive do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
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😂5📈1

refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
[edited]work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try

the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
stablecoin while pending
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume, n of 1 obviously
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment
triple check it
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
do the fee maths
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
