post #4 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.
Documentation and tax implications: payments you make for compounds might have implications for tax reporting depending on your jurisdiction. Keeping clear records matters.
Recurring billing: if a supplier sets up recurring billing by default, understanding the terms for cancellation is important before the first charge.
Bank transfer and finality: once a bank transfer is sent, it is final. The money is gone. There is no recourse with the bank if the supplier disappears. That is why supplier reputation matters if using transfers.
Cryptocurrency for payment: offers less fraud protection than credit cards and is final like bank transfer. Advantage: no geographic restrictions and no intermediary can reverse it. Disadvantage: if you send to a wrong address, it is lost.
I read post #20 twice before replying, because I had assumed the opposite.
Fraud and scams: if a supplier demands payment upfront with no recourse if delivery fails, you are taking a risk. Reputation and history of other buyers matter.
