how much of what we believe about gas fees actually comes from escrow threads
Question in the title, detail here: how much of what we believe about gas fees actually comes from escrow threads.
Pasted rather than typed the address, then checked the first and last six characters. Habit now.
The sequence that makes this boring, which is the goal.
Ask which networks are accepted before you order. Pick the one with a sensible fee at that hour. Paste the address rather than typing it and verify the first and last several characters. Check whether the chain requires a memo. Send a test amount if the total is large. Wait for confirmations before treating anything as done. Save the transaction hash with the order reference.
Seven steps, most of them seconds long, and between them they eliminate every failure mode that gets posted on this board.
Sent to the right address on the wrong chain years ago. Nothing to be done. That is the lesson I paid for.
Screenshot none of this. Read the whole thread, including the parts where I am told I am wrong.
best — the order this archive was captured in
A test transaction costs one extra network fee and verifies the address, the network and the recipient’s crediting process before the main amount moves.

cesar_teixeira is right about confirmations. "Sent" is not a status.
Do you have the transaction hash?
escrow arrangements are rare and worth asking about
Agreed that quote expiry is ordinary. Rates move and a time-limited quote is not a pressure tactic on its own.

Agreed — and the hash is the receipt. Nothing else is.
the supplier cannot reverse it and neither can you
Small fix — that is the network fee, not a supplier charge. The distinction matters for the complaint you are making.
Disagree — a quote expiry is normal when a rate is being held. Pressure to decide immediately is a different thing.
