Not sure I’m a fan of the domain name Payvment. I’d rather have a letter in front of Payment (i.e. epayment, ipayment, apayment, zpayment)
^^
Clearly you’re not too hot on contextual thinking – like most domainers
Payvment has nothing to do with ‘payments’
It’s a word play on ‘Pavement’
Lish? Seriously? What a stupid f’ing name.
Lish makes me think of licorice, and payvment if not for payments is really a stupid name
@Aggro
But they open themselves to people who don’t know how to spell their domain. they were wise to purchase payvEment.com as well.
another example is livefyre.com. But only this year they realized they needed lyvefyre.com as well.
