Sometimes you have to put yourself in the seller's shoes, what if he waybill it and you refuse to pay after receiving it? I have sold stuffs here and I got paid before sending it.


I received part payment once and the buyer refused to balance up after receiving the phone. He sent half of the balance and that was it. The phone has no issue, he confirmed it but he kept saying today, tomorrow, today and tomorrow until I got tired and let it slide.

Yes I understand bro...but I'm no that kind of person... once we agreed on a price ND I like the stuff then ur money is assured...

Desperation to acquire something fast is the reason people get scammed easily. I'm not saying you're desperate to make a purchase, but that's the cause most times.

Scammers and future scammers hate me. If you're a scammer, the first message you send me, my spirit will tell me — it never fails. I can confidently say, I have never been scammed by sending money to scammers.

Though, I have been scammed by hungry scammers selling what I owned behind my back. I don't know them, so I couldn't track them.

I deal with transaction without desperation — just the same way wise men deal with dating and relationship without desperation.

This year, I saw a legit thread by a man selling UK used phones, so I asked him if he has an iPhone 4S, but he said it is out of stock.

I needed this phone so I can dismantle it and replace it with the engine of the iPhone 4s I was using in 2011 to help me retrieve all my files since the battery and screen of the old one were bad.

A few days later, someone from Nairaland messaged me and below is the chat.

In the chat above, the person messaged our business line and luckily, I was the one in charge. I thought he came to buy one of our books, so I sent him our default message to help us avoid time wasters.

Sadly, he didn't come to buy a book, but to tell me he has iPhone 4s for sale. I asked for his moniker and did some survey to find out how legit he is.

After going through the moniker he gave me, I liked what I saw, but wasn't satisfied with the day he created his account. It was too recent and it doesn't have the long list of reviews I needed to see from popular buyers on NL.

With his second message, my spirit had already told me I was about to be scammed, but I played it cool by saying kind things to him.

Before him, another person had already messaged me and when I told him to chat me up with the moniker he gave me, he disappeared.

Anyway, the story is longer than this, but let me end it here. Scammers always scam those who are desperate faster than those who aren't.

There should be death penalty for fraud.

Go to EFCC Facebook page and report,they'll deal with him,you will be paid and he'll go to jail

Dude chill a little bit, there are still a few trusted individuals on nairaland that you can send money to and get your required product without complications, go to that offerup,ebay,amazon,Craigslist,e.t.c page and see the number of people paying for TLC and AIN goods before getting it and the sellers always post screenshots to comfirm the payment. Not everyone is a fool for paying for goods on a faceless forum before receiving them, but i will advice the buyer to make research on the seller's profile on the forum.

You are right, and legit sellers would be harmed by the reputation of dubious ones. The scamming epidemic is getting out of hand. Every man for himself at this rate. I literally limit how much I have to rely on individuals in money matters.

Na so my brother, he scammed me of 10k the time I created this thread.

Fabulous47:
Why on earth would you pay when you haven’t received the goods?


Is this foolishness or what?

Its act of trust bro.....

This is one of the disadvantages of online shopping in Nigeria, I prefer to go directly into the market and see the product with my koro koro eyes before parting with my money to the seller.

That is the point; because I wonder why people take to buying and selling on the web; even on this forum.
