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

    Is there any bank in the world that is stupid enough to allow someone to overdraw their account by $1M without prior arrangement?

        Yes…I have some purchases I would like to make.

        I am definitely good to pay you back and will not declare bankruptcy. Promise.

      Every time I hear about banks allowing overdraws, it’s from Americans. If true, then it’s yet another thing that America do to fuck it’s citizens and that the rest of the world has already figured it out.

        Yep. I don’t think overdrawing accounts has been possible in my country (Aus) for at least 30 years.
