Your billing address doesn't affect it in anyway....

The options you choose are correct no issue there..it will arrive...when did you withdraw?

When I withdrew or when DAN sent payment?

Payment was sent like 1hr ago

Thanks, will update the house when it lands

It appears I messed up.

I chose Europe/Sepa option on DAN Bank transfer, filled in IBAN & swift & Bank name.

There was no column for address.

My billing address on DAN is Nigerian. When DAN notified me of sending the amount, they added my Nigerian address to Grey Bank details I filled.

I used Grey GBP

I hope this won't be an issue

Agreed! But please what do you suggest as the proper way to verify age?

I dont know of any, the closest will be your educational history.

It will give a range of ones true age.

Its the Nigerian anyhowness that made this so.

The only good thing is with nimc registration of babies in Govt hospitals now. in years to come, we will have a true database of date of births exceptions will be those born in rural areas or private hospitals who dont do nimc birth certificate

abbey621:
INEC forms asked for primary and secondary schools completed. Primary school he was home schooled, secondary school he did not finish hence why he left them blank but like I said earlier black folks hardly ever do research, we prefer to wail online and ask rhetorical questions

You are the one acting like "black folk"

The form you uploaded states EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION ATTENDED WITH DATES

Yet you said "INEC forms asked for primary & secondary school completed"

You can attend & not complete. The forms asked for schools attended.

Pls don't bother to reply. You are on a different wave length, your replies have shown that. My last engagement with you.

obailala:
Immigration boss just told you the boy's passport is authentic, and that his age on both his passport and NIN document were confirmed to be 21 (born oct 2000), and you're still here asking for confirmation of authenticity of which passport again?

How did they confirm 21 is the true age?

Do you have international passport?

Did any official verify your date of birth on your BVN/NIN?

They simply accepted what you told them probably backed by sworn affidavit which may or may not have been correct.

People swear affidavit in Nigeria tailored to what they need it for? They lie cos they know there are no consequences to it

My point is the age on BVN/NIN or any Nigerian govt ID is not proof of true age.

seunmsg:
Stop believing fake news and sensational headlines. Tinubu never told anybody that he did not attend primary and secondary schools.

Ok sir, please what are the names of the primary & secondary he attended, regardless of how brief he stayed there & what year was this?

abbey621:
Even if I gave you their names, you won't be smart enough to do proper research hence don't waste my time. One name is Muyiwa Adegbinle(My uncle), attended Eko Boys High School in 1976, I don't know his primary school but he dropped out of secondary school and later found himself in America after working for church missionaries.

Please go check the meaning of "rhetorical question"

Lastly, you proved the point everyone is trying to make, whether he finished primary/secondary school or not he should be able to provide the name of the school & year, just as you did for your uncle.

Perfectbeing:
The BVN that he did since 2019 shows that his present age is 21

BVN, NIN is garbage in, garbage out. There are no ways of verifying Date of birth on our Govt approved ID card.

I can swear affidavit claiming I am 10yrs older or younger than my true age & if I use that as my supporting doc for my BVN or NIN or international passport does that make it authentic?

The only true way to get the correct Age range for Nigerians is through their educational certificates or year of schooling.

abbey621:
I know at least 3 people with the same stories, they dropped out of secondary school, did menial job for a year or two and networked with people who gave them the traveling plug for USA. In the 70s and 80s visa no hard, if you fit carry drug or forgery checks, you go travel enter America, even all these missionaries dey sneak people enter.

These 3 persons you know, can they tell you the name of the primary school they attended & the year they attended it?

Can they also tell you the name of the secondary they didn't complete?

We all know the truth that this man has primary & secondary school result but he can't reveal them because it will most likely reveal other inconsistency such as Names or Age

InvertedHammer:
/
If he didn't complete Secondary School, can he show his GED--needed for enrollment into a College for those who couldn't finish High School (aka Secondary School)?

/

This one is too much to ask, he should tell us the name of the secondary he started but couldn't/didn't finish & year too

seunmsg:
He did not complete his secondary education before traveling to the US so he simply did remedial studies at Richard Dale College and passed. He was then offered full admission to Chicago state university.

You said he did not complete secondary school, the man himself said he did not attend Primary & Secondary school

Which version should we take?

If its your version, please what is the name of the secondary school that he started but didn't complete & what year was this?

How can one man have controversy on his entire educational history plus Age too?

ZaRed:
The last encounter made me do more research, got USD CC and now exchange at #6**

Can you shed more light on this?

CokeBar:
Honestly, this is the ENTIRE chat!

I have dealt with this lady several times.

She is cool based on all My dealings with her.

I find her rates for payoneer better than most exchangers.

I had one paypal Tx that would have led to some friction due to assumptions on my part & her part, but it was settled amicably. She is a reasonable person.

My 1st interaction with her, she needed a referral from a nairalander & a fellow domainer did that for me(I have no issue with this, seller & buyer need to protect themselves anyhow they seem fit)


As with everything, you need patience. Your message on WhatsApp might not be replied immediately but once she starts to chat with you, the chat flows

She doesn't even know me by nairaland handle.

chikishpilot:
but someone still registered Vegas solar company without telling me

This part got me

Abeg next time, whoever you are send him a mail.

Bros, if you suggest unregged names on Namepros, it will be gone without notification. Some persons are even accusing registrars of stealing names during name search not to talk of posting an unregged name in a sea of domainers

Jamescool2:
It's actually a Geo, my initial asking price was 650 but he offered 50, so I countered with 350 because I av seen sales report in that niche for that price range.

I've not gotten any other offers apart from him.
Thanks

Awesomeduru should be your guy.

I wonder how branding expert came into play while countering his offer. I see where his response is coming from.

Branding expert for Geo matter?

Whites don't use words anyhow o, at least the educated ones.

You need to find a way to get open the negotiation again.

You have given more info, I believe others will be able to chip in more.

Jamescool2:
He offered me below the price I want to sell, so I sent a counter offer with a reduce amount and told him I'm a branding expert and how the domain will benefit his service.

You people keep bringing little or no info & expect to get good counsel.

How would you have gotten response when you withheld the above info? Nobody is a mind reader

Even this isn't helpful. If you need good counsel, answer the following

1. What was ur initial asking price

2. What was his counter offer

3. Is this a Geo or EMD

4. What do you think the name is worth & why do you think so?

5. Have you had other offers or engagement from your outbound on this name?

5.

Dotinacircle:
God punish this stupid sav.

Very unprofessional response from you.

When you have a sale from the remaining names that are with them and you need quick response from them either to get Auth Keys or to push or something, you might wish you never gave them this response.

There are more constructive ways to relay your displeasure's.

Did you read & understand their refund policy?

Zigla:
just to confirm I want to do business with her. Scammers too much bro.

Photo wont do anything. A scammer can use the picture of the picture of the person they are impersonating.

Next time, you can ask the person to respond by making a post of a particular phrase choosen by you on Nairaland or quoting a post of yours etc

Shashar:
At the bolded, Who your comment help? Butterfly feeling like a bird.
I'm sure you are among does that ask newbies to start reading from page one when they ask similar question.

You can aswell start reading from page one if you feel the question he asked will benefit you,as I'm so sure such question has been asked many times with answers to it.

I don't know where you crawled out from, I will not come down to your level with your gutter language & attitude.

You are making sales for yourself. Continue with the attitude. My last response to You

Nobody knows it all BUT there will always be pathfinder.

The good book says "counsel In the heart of a wise man is like a well of deep waters, only a man of understanding can pull it out"

When you are insulting to the old timers & men who have insights, how can draw from their knowledge?

It will be a loss to this community if 2sexycom decides not to contribute to this thread, it won't be his loss.

He has his own online & offline network. When last did you hear from Haykay? Whose loss, his or ours?

Nobody is saying you should kiss Ass but be polite & respectful.

Shashar:
You better go back and start reading from page one,if you still don't have a formula or method that works for you.After how many years in domaining,you still dey ask this kind question
Please stop it.

You people will open your mouth waa & talk what you like. Some question are not just for the benefit of the the person asking but for others as well.

There is nothing in his question that warrants your antagonistic & disrespectful response.

This is one of the reason I stopped commenting & I am so sure thats why some old timers also stopped.

Incase you aren't aware, it is a loss to the community when those who are more knowledgeable keep mute.

Can you do without them? Absolutely but having their knowledge & insight will be of great help.

Why not do everything to get that extra help

GeneralKoko:
Please I tried to outbound but it doesn't go through, they keep showing this

For clarity, I am not asking you to change your names to that of a whiteman

You aren't outbounding Tier1 names where other details can be ignored.

You can use Gift Nwikegha

Your Email ID is also somehow.

Your ID can be Gift.Nwikegha or something more simple & professional

Just my Opinion o

symbuul:
Sorry. I'm out of the thread forever. I'll just read from now on.
Blessings.

If only you can stick to this advice. Don't just read from now on, start reading from Page 1

By the time you get to present page, the Jim Jim in you would have calmed down & you would have learnt alot.

You used the word beg twice in your last post. I can only imagine the embarrassing mail you must have sent to Sedo "begging them"

Your crime is 3fold.

1. Against icausetrouble
2. Against the international domaining community/business
3. Against the Nigerian domaining community

Our image has been battered enough, so we don't need additional acts like yours to dent us more.

If you think what you did is no big deal, take this to namepros(beginner section) their responses will show you. If you want to test further, go to the general section

GeneralKoko:
Please I tried to outbound but it doesn't go through, they keep showing this

If I am a white guy I don't think I will open your mail judging by your names, your email ID too doesn't help.

This is my opinion.

As for your question, maybe Nigeria IP has been banned by the recipient server.

Your subject says domain up for sale

Why should I open the mail to see which domain is for sale? Did he tell you he is looking for domain to buy?

Your subject should be eye catching, it should arouse his interest.

You should put the domain name in the subject(go through the thread, examples abound)-That's why the golden rule is that the name should be related/useful to the clients business.

Another thing, copy that error message & paste it on Google, you will get more answers & possible solutions

symbuul:
No need bro. I was the one who clicked on buy. A very silly move.

Can you share with the house on how and why you clicked to buy a name you could not afford nor had any intention of buying?

lets learn

Please what are the best tools for getting leads on LinkedIn?

Contactout is very good but pricy, they have also reduced their free usage

waleayeni1:
Please I received the suggestion below from brand bucket. Please is this a good valuation for my domain name or I should seek better. It appears very valuable to me that's why I am asking. I would be grateful for your expert feedback. Plus does anyone know how much brand bucket charges in fees

I believe you are just starting out, while BB is not the sole alpha in domain appraisal(They have great metrics they use) I will advise you stick to this valuation. you can list it for the max listing price.

Another thing you should do when you want to get an idea of what your domain is worth, go to namebio and godday appraisal.

I am not interested in what godaddy valued it as but comparable sales. how much did similar name sell for?

On Namebio, search for the keyword extra, choose the "at the end" for placement filter. Sort in other of high sale price to low.

A little contribution to the house.

For those of you that made sales from NFTs names, consider looking into SBT(SoulBound Tokens) and DeSoc(Decentralized society)

A whitepaper(Decentralized Society: Finding Web3’s Soul) was released this May 2022, the founder of ethereum, Vitalik Buterin was part of the Authors. I have glanced through the paper, I have done a search of availabe SBT names, most have been registererd.

You can do you search and see what names you can come up with.

NOTE This may or may not become a trend. Its a 50-50 thing

Promxy94:
In this industry we need be careful since Government has reduced online card transactions. People sometimes help me here buy domains and i transfer the naira equivalents to them. I humbly appreciate you all that help me one way or the other.

Now i belong to a domain telegram group, where once in a while i chat up people, read conversations and others.

Now someone posted we buy the lets extract software, the person may also be in this thread but i don't know his username. So i indicated my interest this was like few weeks before Sapiosexuality posted his. He chatted me up privately and i told him when we are complete and ready to make payment he should buzz me up for my own funds. When the time came he asked me to send my funds 10,070 naira since we were 10, i sent and he paid a PayPal guy to make the payment. Days turned to weeks and its going to a month, paypal guy hasn't responded according to him. I asked him how much we contributed in total that was sent to this PayPal guy, and he said 100,700naira. And from all indications he doesn't have much information about this paypal guy.

So please let's be careful of online transactions with people this period. Note PayPal was used because he said the rate was cheaper as to barter card.

Sorry for any typography or punctuation error.

Is it the same letsextract that i attached or another one? if its same, why is the funds up to 100k

How much were you guys saving by using Paypal vs debit card option

Sometimes peace of mind trumps it all regardless of the funds. sorry for your experience

Jimneighbour:
What do you think about this name, I bought it yesterday after reading ikhalyfah's post

Laundrye // king

Help us to help you, then we all learn in the process

1. What did you read in his post that inspired you to register this name?

2. Can you identify 3 business niche that can use this name?

3. what comes to my mind is laundry services, how many laundry services do you know that has been able to build a brand for themselves, most operate as small businesses

4. laundry is too specific, its application is not broad at all and as such it limits you greatly.

5. lastly i might be wrong in its entirety, you can share what you had in mind, that might offer clarity. After all Lemonade (is being used as insurance brand)

beckplanet:
Brandable is similar to saying Fashionable. That means it can be fashion but you have to make them into becoming fashionable. (back to the term brandable, that means it can be a brand but you have to put in effort to making them become one)

Meta//verse is a stand alone niche so the exact match word in any extension (like the metaverse//xyz is already an identified brand by design without putting in too much effort/energy based on the niche and trend so you don't have to put in any effort to make them one (i.e a brandable name). That doesn't mean you can't list them in a brandable market though. But the term is an already spread term with a defined use case so no effort isnneeded into turning it to a brand as it's already one.
Take for example Purple//com which is a mattress company though its a term for a colour but the owners had to intentionally make the term purple become a mattress company. It was an intentional decision so thats what made it a brandable name. The same can be said of Lemonade//com which became an insurance brand or Apple//com which is a phone/ technology company. These names can be classed as brandable names because an intentional effort was made to change them into brands. I guess that's what brandable names are all about. That is not to say that Metaverse cannot be a brand but we already know what it'll be lol, so it's already an exact niche keyword. It'll be mad surprising for a meta//verse name to be used as a mattress company lol that's when you can say it have become what's it's not meant to be and that defines it as brandable. But at this stage of the trends development I feel any business that buys a meta//verse term will only definitely use it for a meta//related product so no suprise there at all.

The same case can be made for Sportsbet//xyz you can't use it in anything rather than a sporting related, I'll be suprised if I see the term being used for a cupboard manufacturing business or a machine technology company or say a restaurant, so you see. It an exact niche term and nothing more. So not really brandable or as fashionable (when you use the first reference I made above on fashion and turning something into fashion thereby making it fashionable)

Although, you can make a case for Wrap being brandable though, my bad, at first I didn't look at it properly but I can see it being use for say finance brand (in terms of wrapping up a deal quickly) or a food brand in term of (some certain kind of food wrap) or an "igbo" joint in term of same one wrap of smoking paper lol. . So it can be used for anything and that's what makes it a brandable term. So Wrap can go with anything provided it can mirror different meanings based on the brand you want it to represent as I explained above so that makes that one a brandable term.


So in summary a brandable name is a word with indefinite meaning or limitless possibilities or limitless application on what the name can become meaning that you can apply it to anything and bring a new definition or meaning out of it and not limited or bounded by a exact niche or specific use case.

Hope you got my point boss. Just added to what have been said by others above.

Peace

who you dey call boss? abeg o

I didnt quite agree with the initial submission that they werent brandables but i am glad clarity has been provided. Exceptions have been given whereby those names will qualify as brandables.

As least people can now have a balanced view.

I am quite surprised about purple and lemonade, it fails the test of what do you think of when you hear the name

Same way some names fail the radio test and they get sold for good amount

We keep learning and unlearning everyday

I am impressed with your portfolio of 1650 names, bros I personally cannot maintain that amount. I will cry when renewal comes

You be baba
