no escrow here
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
while im here do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work

invoice says $38 and my total came out different, whos wrong
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 mgslightly off topic but on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily, thats just me
no chargebacks
post it in scam watch
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
*i meant subcutaneous
slightly off topic but if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel
check first and last four
network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths
triple check it
do you check the whole address or just the ends
is there any chargeback route at all
20:56tenpence pinned a message to this channel
how many confirmations before a supplier usually marks it paid
i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message
a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need
invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send
check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions
stablecoin or not while an order is pending
paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it
thats gone sorry
do you keep the transaction reference and for how long
do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved
right so i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time
stablecoin while pending
Recon calculator: 40mg in 1.5ml = 10mg/ml.
do the fee maths
the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume
refunds do happen and they are slow and awkward. do not count on one
work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it
what happens if the price moves between invoice and payment
i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice
no escrow here, i could be wrong
[edited]for the archive is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
wait for confirmations

is there a way to verify an address belongs to who you think it does
slightly off topic but how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment
update from 4 months ago: fees are lower than they were and the discount maths has changed
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, ymmv

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything
the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to
discount is standard now
sent to the wrong network, is there any way back

*PeptideMeter not the other one
there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one
*that should say weekly
a wrong network transfer is gone. nobody can get it back for you and nobody here will try
keep the reference

thats a scam pattern
