Buyer guide

The payment method tells you who carries the risk.

A supplier that pushes no-recourse payment before showing proof is asking the buyer to carry the hard part of the transaction.

What to check

Card payments usually create clearer dispute records than private transfers.
Bank transfer and PayID require more supplier trust before payment.
Crypto-only checkout removes most ordinary buyer recourse.
Third-party payment links should match the seller identity.
Payment proof cannot fix missing batch or COA proof.

The fastest safe path is still the same: batch, COA, label, payment, support, and dispatch proof before trust.
