The problem

Sale agreed. Trust never shows up.

Someone has to send money first. That gap is where Nigerian social sales die.

WhatsApp

Payment objection

Buyer · 11:02

Can I pay on delivery? I was scammed last month.

You · 11:03

Totally fair. Use my protected link — Paystack holds the money until you confirm the item matches the listing.

Check my sales first

Buyer won't pay first

“Send account number” kills the sale before it starts.

Fake reputation

Star ratings are easy to fake. Strangers can’t tell who’s real.

Fulfillment

Stock on hand or source to order

Pick per sale. Same buyer protection either way.

I have it ready

Buyer pays → you ship → they confirm → you get paid.

I source after pay

Buyer pays → sourcing → ship when ready. Assign a fulfillment partner for cost advance; or source yourself and keep the full margin.
