How do you handle refunds & chargebacks? And do you have a maximum amount that can be charged?

For context - I'm building a marketplace for artists and struggling to find a global payouts rail. The ones that exist have really high turnover requirements or reject new marketplaces that deal with higher value physical items due to chargeback risk.

Out of interest, how is it going with PromptBase? Love the idea, does it have legs -- ie are you making money?

I clicked on that link, saw clashing colours and a general lack of UX design principles and immediately closed it.

This is very cool!! Have you considered making a WebGL game that uses eye tracking for things like aiming? Could be very cool and one of the very few accessible games

Haven't crawled through the repo (yet) but quick question - where does the data that is being searched over come from? Are you loading a library or searching some large library acquired from somewhere else?

In my experience, teams getting laid off are generally (not always) experimental, high risk / high reward, horizon 2 type bets. Ie not the main function of the company or one of the major bets the company needs to succeed for their current strategy.

So one way to avoid being hired into a team like this is to ask a many questions centered around the impact of the team.

For example, - “what are some of the main accomplishments this team has had in the past?” - “what is the mission & vision of the team, and how is it aligned to the business operational plan?” - “what will happen to the company if this team fails on its biggest bets?”

This is naturally aimed towards bigger companies.

Thanks, really appreciate this input! Finding a mentor is easier said than done but agree that it's an important step.
