where are you, am in ilorin I will check the post office tomorrow.

Don't deal with such sellers, all genuine sellers do not try to make you pay outside of Alibaba's platform especially if you are a first time buyer.

FYI I've made payment outside of Alibaba's platform, but that was my fourth time dealing with the seller.

ceaser:


@bolded. I don't know about that. I am a new barter user who got registered about 2 weeks ago. My first barter AE purchase was made three days ago and it went thru.



Could it be that these problems are results of conducting a new type of payment method on a known account logged in on an IP address different from the one the account is known to usually log in from.



@ bolded. Dayuuum! That seller is one hell of a scammer. And this thing can pain ehn.

I know something about AE dispute which I'm not sure if it applies to this situation or if it is still in effect. I was once a beneficiary. It is a form of penalty for seller in which the refunded money (to the buyer) is more than the cost price the seller paid originally. The seller is penalised an additional percentage of the total price of the item and the extra is added to the money refunded to the seller.

Now when you dispute this, try to be as detailed as possible to make sure that there is enough evidence to ensure the seller is indicted for dishonesty. This should include screenshots of your chats with the seller.

Or HikVision if buying in Naija.

FluidQueen:
does this really work? AliExpress is rejecting barter card payments.



Very exhausting. Is there a way around it?

So update on this story, package arrived Lagos last week and was held by customs, was finally cleared over the weekend and dispatch for delivery, unfortunately I was wasn't contacted and by evening tracking read attempt failed cos receiver's office was closed .
Had to contact DHL CC and was reliably informed that the package was not in my name and it was for someone who works at daily times Ikeja and it weighed a hefty 81kg; at that point I knew seller had given me a fake tracking number.
I just jejeli made use of the dispute button with all my evidence intact, less than 3hrs later, seller agreed to the refund, no questions asked.
Chai but e pain me sha, after all the waiting. Oh well we move on to the next one.....

It's not from Anker store. I used AE standard shipping ( -free shipping is the only option)
The package has been moving very fast from the first day. It's just stuck at "dispatched to destination country"

Sorry if this is unrelated

But is it possible to withdraw Paypal dollars to wallets Africa dollar card?

nonvoip:
stay away from wallets africa or you will cry

bernar234:
You can use Bater, but its quite expensive about ~#589/$. Before we normally ask seller to split payment but now that card limit is $20/ month it doesn't even make sense anymore. If the item can be purchased in Nigeria compare the cost and time, just buy in Nigeria

Demaxl:
Sorry if this is unrelated

Yes you can. They have serious network issues most times though. They’ve become unreliable
