Depending on where the seller is auctioning from and if he will accept a buyer from Nigeria. Most sellers in America and canada dont wanna trade with someone in Africa or Nigeria for that matter, because of floating scam reports and experience. But if you have someone (relative or friend) in the USA or canada, the purchase can be concluded with easy and shipped with assurance. |

^^ cause and effect. When all those Yahozee boys were doing their 'get rich quick' stuff with their 419 chain emails, who would have thought that it would one day turn around and bite us? Now genuine people who want to do business on the net are faced with the fact that trying to do it from Naija is not as straight forward as it could be. Hopefully one day in the near future, our reputation will be restored |

^^ It really depends on if what he is hoping to buy on ebay is available on Amazon - their range of products differ a little as does the business model. One offers the option of bidding for certain items while the other is a straight forward ecommerce shop. |

Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by hackney(m): 12:27pm On May 08, 2009 |
Probably but i wont. The problem will arise when the goods get to nigeria (unfortunately);there is zero control at that stage. I guess its the same as posting valuable goods in nigeria |
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by naijacutee(f): 12:33pm On May 08, 2009 |
There's a website that helps people buy stuff from abroad and ship to Nigeria called Orderbay. They've been on NL a lot, and seem to be quite reputable. Orderbay.com, I think it is. |

The Yahoo Boyz have destroyed the image of Nigeria in the eyes of Westerners. Any buyer from Nigeria is usually viewed with suspicion by Ebay. If you have someone abroad, the person can help you buy things on ebay or Amazon and ship it down for you throught independent freight carriers. |
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by FBS: 1:43pm On May 08, 2009 |
on Ebay? Most folks will not even deal with you just by mentioning Nigeria. yahoo boys eka re o! phuck. |
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by aimanosi(m): 1:45pm On May 08, 2009 |
as a matter of fact, the answer is no. our image has been totally rubbish there that as a nigerian u cant trade there. up to some africa countries |
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by Secretz(f): 1:49pm On May 08, 2009 |
Yes one can shop on ebay from nigeria, but receiving the goods is another thing entirely. The fact that the buyer has already accepted your payment, it may be possible. But what was their method of shipment? And was/is the goods expensive? My friend has an ebay store online and REFUSES point black to sell to anyone in Africa. Good luck though. Redman44: Yes very true. |

I am a vendor on ebay. Most vendors do not ship to nigeria or even deal with ppl from there. I think when i signed up to sell on ebay i saw a list of highlishted countries. Nigeria was one of them. Even on Craigslist, ppl are wary of Nigeria. So sad though, We have some honest ppl here. |

tboy1: same here ure cute @topic- Nigeria should try to open its own version of ebay. |
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by Redman44(m): 4:01pm On May 08, 2009 |
We are only talking about shopping on ebay from Nigeria, with the attendant negative perception of Nigerians and Nigeria. I have just been harrassed by a yahoo boy who looks for victims and collaborators on Nairaland. Please, if you're on Nairaland, log out from your Yahoo Messenger. Internet Fraudsters are here with us on this lovely site. May the good lord deliver Nigeria from the Yahoo Yahoo syndrome. |
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by platinumnk(f): 4:03pm On May 08, 2009 |

Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by dree1: 4:41pm On May 08, 2009 |
@ Poster and All, I know of a company here in the UK that helps you complete your orders online (only for Nigerians and for payment restriction reasons). All you have to do is go to eBay,amazon or any of this online stores once you have seen what you like. the buzz them 24/7 on the phone, skype , yahoo messenger or by email.But if you want to bid straight away you'll be better off getting them on the phone or on skype.yahoo messenger. They will walk through the bidding with you and get you the order/item. But you will have to make a payment into their Lagos business Account before they pay for your item (You pay the exact equiv. in naira) They ship items to Lagos every Friday so all orders concluded between Sunday - Thursday get to Lagos every week. I 1 Like |

@ Carlos Ventures, Thanks for the prompt reply. I admire that you are a student doing your own business to make ends meet. I am not a student, but a book publicist with Bernard Books Publishing http://bernardbooks.com What we are looking for is a good and convenient avenue to make our recent novel (FEDDIE GIRL by Nona David) available to the Nigerian public. Since Amazon and E-bay will not accept payment from Nigeria and ship likewise, we need an intermediary company through which Nigerians at home can purchase and receive the title. Thanks! Joan |
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by Joan4427(f): 5:04pm On May 08, 2009 |
platinumnk:I agree. tboy1:He can send his message across by typing in normal case then using bold to highlight the very pertinent points. |
