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

    No banks ask why you’re withdrawing money, except security questions for your benefit. Like to see if you are being scammed. They don’t really care, even about a million dollars.

    The person who receives the money is going to have to deposit it in a different bank, so banks are just transferring money back and forth.

    No tax authority or security agency knows about it (at least in the US). You are just not that important. If you don’t pay taxes or do something illegal they’ll get you later. The bank keeps records for like 7 years.
