network fees were higher than the discount, has anyone done that maths

do suppliers ever refund and how does that even work

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

is paying in two parts ever sensible

how long do you wait before chasing an unconfirmed payment

anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

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

the mods stop escrow conversations immediately and they are right to

discount is standard now

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

coming back after 4 months, has anything changed on fees

wait for confirmations

the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume

whats a reasonable network fee to accept
nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this

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

check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice

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

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

a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need, ask me again in a month

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

*Janoshik not the other one

polite message usually fixes it

is there any chargeback route at all

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

thats a scam pattern
