Hello all,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that one cannot get cash for a Dynadot account credit and the only option appears to be to spend it on Dynadot.

If that's the case, what would you do with a Dynadot account credit?

I appreciate your feedback.

I'd probably do what @alcy said. I think I do have a credit at Dynadot and probably would cash it, but I can't - It isn't the $500 minimum. I'll either buy a trendy hand reg, or just consider it dead to me

:xf.cool: I just found Dynadots "Payout Policy," which states, among other things, the following:
  • There is a 5% fee on account credit that is paid out to cover costs associated with the transaction.
  • The minimum payout amount that you can request is $100 USD.
and as far as getting credit to PayPal...
  • Payouts are made via PayPal to the email that you specify...Payouts by check are also available for account credit in USD.
  • Because PayPal charges extra fees to payout International accounts, there may be an additional cost for payouts under $500 USD. Requesting a payout of less than $500 USD can result in additional fees.

"Payout Policy" states

@alcy @jhm If payouts are made via PayPal, how can one get the cash from their PayPal account?

Strange question— buy domains or renew domains.

If you've used PayPal before you link a bank account to your PayPal, then withdraw

Is there a fee to withdraw?

Unfortunately, all is not settled. And let me preface this by saying that I've had an account with Dynadot for several years, in which they've had no issues with me or accepting my payments.

On 12/15, I requested a payout from Dynadot through PayPal and I was sent a "Balance Payout Email Verification" with a link that I used to successfully to verify payout transaction info, all while chatting live with support, who told me > > > > "Looks like you have verified the PayPal, there are no others that need to be done from your side. Please spare some time for the team to check and process...and first time payout orders can take seven to ten business days to complete".

On the 12/18, I got an email with the subject "Additional Verification Needed". OK, I recalled seeing that Dynadot Payout Policy states: "you may be required to verify account details by providing identification or through email verification to protect against fraud." This email had a link to validation.com, which led me to this page:

I don't have either a computer webcam, or other device that connects to the internet which has a camera, so I was wondering how exaclty they'd "securely take a series of pictures of..." me and "my government photo ID", so to learn more, I visited their website and I followed the link entitled "Asked To Submit Documents?", which led to this page:

validation2.png


Here you can see they're showing how they want pics of both front & back of government photo ID and the highlighted text says, "Not every organization will ask for a selfie. However we always advise that you'll be on camera when completing a submission."

When I told Dynadot that I don't have either a computer webcam, or other device that connects to the internet which also has a camera, and asked what can I do?, they replied > > > > "This is the procedure for payout. If you don't have the condition at this time, we can wait till you are able to complete it."

I confirmed that neither their terms of use, payout policy nor help files state that the "procedure for payout" requires to be live on camera to complete it, so I asked them to please show me where this is stated. They replied > > > > "Unfortunately the live image is how we verify the information for a payout".

Again, I asked them to please show me where this is stated. This time they replied > > > > "Unfortunately our payout policy page shows the basics of what might be ask of you for verification. We do not layout the complete and full process along with all options that may be asked".

All that said, I have some questions:

How long can Dynadot hold my payout hostage, if I can't complete this "on camera" submission with Validation.com taking a series of pictures of me and my government photo ID, which Dynadot has admitted they do not layout ANYWHERE as a required “procedure for payout"?

How secure is this "on camera" submission?

Who else has had to go through this to complete a payout, and how exactly did this work?
