Moniker is horrible regardless.
Following a domain sale, I had said funds in escrow- awaiting payment.
After a week with no payment received, nor any chance of such in sight / as there was no email correspondence to speak of (concerning the delay & or possible solution) - thus I decided to inquire about the whereabouts of funds...Turns out- for an optional (Yes- as in, not required!) area within the payment/bank details input section- The 'swift code' was "left blank". As it is not neccessary nor required by my (or even most) bank(s) for the completion of a domestic wire transfer. As such and as already said- I left this area blank. Presuming leaving this area blank would signify said information/data is simply not neccessary nor needed for the completion of payment.
...Sure enough they agreed. However instead of leaving it blank, I had to put "N/A". They couldn't proceed with payment until doing so.
So, I had to log in (mind you complying with this, delayed payment an additional day) and edit the swift code with the aforementioned "N/A"....Mind you, prior to this, when I was first told I was required to put "N/A". I simply requested/pleaded "Oh okay, will keep note of such with respect to future transactions...for now, please please just send funds." "No, you must log in and add "N/A" as we've stated"........In any case- Sure enough, following this modification- payment soon followed.
Sorry for the long winded response. I just wanted to emphasize every facet of this ridiculous mind numbing procedure / process.
The absurdity of such deserves a paragraph-long summary.
