Thanks, but I didn't get scammed. I asked because my understanding is what ChronoKitsune explained in his post on page 2 of this thread. I thought that maybe I was wrong and you had some info that I wasn't aware of. I appreciate your response though!

Hi Folks,
A long story short.
$464 down the drain due to technical incompetence of the guys Andrew is working with
- Chose watch
- Paid it with BitCoin Payment - Special instructions will be sent via email - I was looking for the 5% discount - see email attached with no warning of specific Crypto Currency
- Had to open a BitCoin account
- Bought BitCoin, commission is nearly at 7%
- New to Crypto Currency, I paid $464 in BitCoin Cash instead of BitCoin
- BitCoin Cash went out of my BitCoin Wallet
- Andrew said he never got it due to different payment Crypto Currency
- Contacted BitCoin Support service (screenshot attached)
- Contacted back Andrew and he said: "I asked my payment guy to try and they say they are not able to retrieve"
Great Experience!!!!!!!!!! Highly Recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As i explained and many forum members can attest to what I mentioned, the wrong crypto was sent and I already checked with my payment guys many times and they do not have it
The wallet is only able to accept BTC and not Bitcoin Cash
If I were able to retrieve it, I would have done so

I have never used bitcoin however I have came close to trying. I decided not to even try as it seemed a little complex just to save a few dollars. It is clear the wrong type of bitcoin was sent and as such trusty did not get a payment. If it did not go through where does it go? Is it forever floating around in cyberspace and as such no way for anyone to retrieve it? I agree the mistake here was on the buyer and I am curious how this works. Why is there different types of bitcoin anyway? Seems like it would be better for everyone involved if there were just one type. I know this is a little off topic here and if it is improper feel free to ignore my ramblings. I think this thread could help prevent others from the same mistake and again although I feel bad for the buyer no way can anyone blame Trusty for this situation.
It's not a "different type of bitcoin". It's a whole different currency, as far from Bitcoin as Ethereum, Litecoin or Polkadot.

If you do not understand bitcoin, stick to bank to bank transfers. The Dealer discount is the same.
Also, I accept Polkadot coin.
Should have done it through Wester Union or even a Credit Card, I saw saving 5% is not worth the hassle. I just use a credit card and keep an eye on it. Always works and better not to save 5% than to loose everything. But you learned a lesson. We all have those though life. And this isnt your last. Now take time to relax and when you are ready again do it with WU or Credit Card.

Honestly using Bitcoin is the best method of payment when buying a rep. You just need to know how.
Agreed, but 99.5% of don't know how.
Andrew is great when it's a straight forward transaction. If an issue comes up, they are not great at handling it in a timely manner. I think there are also multiple people working there but they all use the name Andrew, right?
Jesus Christ, you don’t know shit about cryptos, but chose to pay with them, paid 7% to buy some so you could get a 5% discount, screwed up the transfer by sending the wrong one, and then blame Andrew for it? Can we ban this guy?

You expect a vendor to work their end to retrieve money you didn’t know how to send when they’re still holding the product?? He’s no reason to work to collect money for a watch he knows other people who can properly pay him will purchase.
And why the hell would he? I’m buying a watch from him wiring money instantly with wise while you’re dicking around with crypto you don’t understand. Who should he spend his time with?

Yup, I did the same thing to transfer to my gambling account. Send a buck to two over first, then the hefty amount. And Coinbase will warn you not to send Bitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin account. Whoever came up with bitcoin cash is the varmint here.

Nope, the problem is the guy who sends a crypto payment without doing any research on crypto and then doesn’t pay attention and sends the wrong coin, and then thinks it should be located like a bank can locate a wire transfer

I agree that a ban is not in order here however we can all be a little pissed that he expected us to agree with his flaming of a trusted dealer for a mistake that was no fault of the dealer. Although I am fairly new I have noticed that many members with very low post counts are the first to raise holy hell at the first hint of trouble or inconvenience. I have not ordered anything yet from out of the U.S. as I am still building up my courage. If I do I will stick to a credit card as the small bitcoin discount for me is not worth the worry.
