Paypal. There are two guys (@Legalwealth and @Arbitrage) here on Nairaland that can help you withdraw your Paypal earnings. I used Legalwealth for my last transaction. He pays you at N140 or 145/$ if the amount is less than $500 and N150/$ if the amount is more than $500.

Foreign account. Over the years, those guys have developed a method of running a foreign paypal account that can receive unlimited funds and the system works well for them. I have outsourced the problem of receiving funds to them so that I won't have to bother about changing IP and all that ish.

Great hearing this from you and anyone can get their PayPal earnings from any website without owning a PayPal account but just an e-mail dedicated for receiving PayPal earnings & funds.

Yes!It just got hidden by bot when I tried updating it price with 140 or 145 for any amount lesser than $500 and N150 for $500 and above
as it was decided on after the thread was created with N140/$ & N145/$ plus some minor corrections.

I've contacted mod possibly honourable Seun will see it and do justice to it!

Thanks for the notification @ paulsir

Good day all experts in the house,
I'm relatively new to domain name business and I want to find out the following details;
1.can I register a domain name with a nigerian based registrar and sell on foreign sites like sedo,flippa etc;
This is because I tried to register with godaddy several times but the page failed to open;probably they dont accept nigerians.

2.what method would you advise that I use when selling my domains;
should I offer it on the auction page of sedo.com,flippa,etc.or is it better to park the domains for some time.

Please I would appreciate your kind and insightful responses.

Thanks.

Google's removal of Linda Ikeji's blog has brought to the fore again the subject of cybersquatting in Nigeria. The 'LindaIkeji' name has been bought in almost every TLD that matters. A guy in Belize bought LindaIkeji.com in 2007, something that Linda herself didn't deem necessary. The guy probably saw that the name has some exact match search figures and took the plunge.

I'm sure many people will call this guy a squatter and all sort of names, the guy has not done anything illegal. Few months ago, FunmiIyanda.com
sold for $2500 on Sedo.

Due to the Anti-CyberSquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA), it is illegal in the US to buy someone's name as a domain with the intent of reselling it to them. The same cannot be said about Nigeria; I don't even think Nigeria has any law relating to the internet/domain names.

To file a UDRP, Linda will have to pop out $1500 and rely on common law trademark. The ads on LindaIkeji.com show links to LindaIkeji blog. Do you think Linda has a chance of getting LindaIkeji.com in a UDRP?

1. Please use GoDaddy. When you are starting out in this business, you will buy a lot of shitty domains. It is better to buy at $0.99 than to spend $10 a domain at a Nigerian registrar. Register with GoDaddy using a Nigerian IP and ensure you have a valid means of identification ready e.g. Driver's License, International Passport, Voter's Card, National ID, etc.

2. Try and open a Sedo account and park your domains there. Don't waste money on auctioning newly handregged domains.

The Golden Rule: Learn, Learn, Learn, Buy, Learn, Learn, Learn, Sell.

My oga, wetin newbies like me go do? We no fit kill ourselves because Nigeria never get internet when people are registering one word category killers like Wines.com

If I can't get Wines.com, I'll console myself with FWines.com. That 'F' may actually mean something to somebody. Think French Wines, Fruit Wines, Fortified Wines, Famous Wines and all winemakers/sellers whose name starts with 'F'. That was the thought when I regged the name and it paid off in 6 months with a 25000% ROI.

MNews.com and VDesk.com sold on GoDaddy yesterday in the mid $XXXX range.

I just regged WCakes.com. Can I reg/afford Cakes.com or WeddingCakes.com? No. Can I make money from WCakes.com? Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Think about the number of cake makers whose name starts with 'W'. Wedding Cakes? Wendy's Cakes? Wheat Cakes? White Cakes?

go daddy issue gentlemen,i have been asked for verification by go daddy and the ID card i registered for since february isnt ready yet,got no drivers license either.
Only thing i got is one slip given to me by the NIMC office with all my ID details of course.
Would go daddy accept that?
Am i screwed?

Also in geo targeted domains does the lenght of the domain name matter so much
E.g sanfranciscolegalservices dot com

I dont own that domain,its just an example

1. You can send GoDaddy your Voters Card. I've read here that some people used it and it was accepted.

2. Geo domains are always long by default so the 'short is better' does not always apply. A lot of geos have a minimum of three words.

creativity will put a lot of money in your pocket if you possess it. i remembered when i registered a brand new domain name like that and i emailed a NIGERIAN guy using that name as his nickname. lo and behold the man thought i want to scam him and shunned me off. not up to a year later, i sold that name for $550 dollars @ a parking company. the name is danbaba.com. so in this industry, you need to be very creative. it's not about registering domain names, the question is how many domain names have you sold. internet money is sweet but you first have to work for it
