is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
has anyone been asked to pay a second time
check first and last four
✅4
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
no escrow here

thats gone sorry
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
thats a scam pattern
*that should say weekly
check the total

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily
no chargebacks
polite message usually fixes it
discount is standard now
do the fee maths

do you check the whole address or just the ends
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
✅2
keep the reference
stablecoin while pending
update on the earlier thing paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it, i have it written down somewhere
quick one if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
follow up i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try, from memory
wait for confirmations
invoice says $38 and my total came out different, whos wrong

🙏3💀3
the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved, i think
post it in scam watch
🙏7💀1
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work
update from 3 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution
*that should say weekly
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
unrelated but stablecoin or not while an order is pending
[edited]quick one nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this
anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update

i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
triple check it
genuine question a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that, anyway
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
wait for confirmations
do the fee maths
