What happens when you try to buy a $1M domain?

Otter@lemmy.ca to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 82 points –

I was curious about domains and looked for something. The domain was available, but it cost over $1,000,000

What would happen if I clicked "add to cart" and tried to buy it if...

  • I couldn't afford it
  • I could afford it

Does someone reach out since it's a big sale? How do they confirm I have the money? Who does the money go to?

Assuming I don't have the money, at what point would I get blocked? I assume they don't just process giant purchases the same way as $10 ones

Do it! What do you need, like $30,000-35,000 from each of us? Let's get this bread!

Then let's turn around and sell it for $2M!
