It’s a bit of a learning curve. The bond invoice (if you’re an order taker) usually lasts 3 minutes (I think). But because of Lightning routing and the fact that Tor is slow, sometimes you can pay the bond but it won’t “show up” right away in RoboSats.
If the invoice expired before your payment arrived, the sats *will* return to your wallet.
If the sats arrived in time to pay the bond, it would have opened the order on RS. If you had thought the invoice failed and closed out the browser, then what would have happened is the seller would join and wait for you to submit an invoice for payout, but if you don’t, the order expires and you lose the bond.
Once you get familiar with it, it (usually) works pretty smoothly.
There are many moving parts, and with a highly private and decentralized system it can be trickier than the seamless UX of something like CashApp or Strike.
But those sats are soooo worth it haha
There’s an incredibly helpful SimpleX chat group for support. The coordinators are usually active there and can help you out if you get stuck with an order.
