Highlights from this day
- rezept_rolf — i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything, happy to be corrected 20:38
- back_from_away — invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send, i think 21:12
- courier_vs_post — do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution 22:15
- rezept_rolf — whats a reasonable network fee to accept 22:56

stablecoin or not while an order is pending
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
triple check it
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
is the ten percent crypto discount standard everywhere now
discount is standard now
do you check the whole address or just the ends
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send, i think

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
genuine question coming back after 19 months, has anything changed on fees
polite message usually fixes it
on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
do the fee maths
is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need, i think
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
check the total
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
update from 13 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
stablecoin while pending
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
thats a scam pattern
for the archive invoice says €185 and my total came out different, whos wrong
Digest for the week of 2025-08-30 has been published.
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
whats a reasonable network fee to accept

i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
ok so anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
