I used to be like this too but I bought my current phone, Redmi 7 here. I have bought 2 PS3 here too (although the ps3s were from the same person and I never met the guy before)

This is my advice. Use escrow. I never used escrow in all my transactions but that was because

1. When I bought the redmi, I met the guy face to face. I had to travel to Ibadan from Iwo, Osun state sef. To avoid bank transfer stories, I withdrew the money and had the whole cash with me cos I didn't want to hear "I have not seen alert"

2. When I bought the PS3, I bought it from someone well known on nairaland. If you want to buy something, create a post asking people to vouch for the seller but this doesn't work for everyone as some people are not that popular here and no one would vouch for them. This doesn't make them a fraud but still don't trust them. In this case, I would advice meeting them. Or use escrow. Some people don't like using escrow, if that's the case, meet them face to face. The only people you should trust and transfer money to without meeting are established businesses on NL, people that others will vouch for a lot and people that have a lot to lose if their reputation should be tarnished

Gotten 3 of my phone's through jiboxx alone .... If he says d phone or dealer is legit, go for it cos he is right

I've bought two phones from here, I used escrow for one.

I've also sold a number of phones here too and I usually encourage people buying from me to use escrow cause I'm still upcoming

Using escrow is always the safest option but they're numerous sellers here that are I can comfortably tell you to send money to, try to always make your research before sending money to anybody

on normal levels....if I no buy from jumia..I dey carry my Carya comot... because as u see me, me and wahala we no to dey parole like that....

last 2 year's...I gave it a try on Nairaland, by getting a laptop...saw one.... thank God the seller dey Lagos...I jejely told him to bring the laptop to my office...yes to my office because I dey like look wetin I dey buy well B4 I pay..

he said no wahala, he eventually brought it to my office, i inspect it Nd sees it's all good, payed him Nd everyone was happy still using it till now... almost 3yrs now


secondly, saw another phone wey I like Redmi note 6 pro...but the seller is from Akure....and this will b my first time buying a phone aside Lagos....but the seller really persuade me that he's not a scammer Nd talk like dat..we used one day to talk just to convince me he's not a scammer....so I took the bold step Nd paid sha.... funny part...Wen I paid Nd I started calling him, he didn't pick my call after calling him 3 times...I was like at atlast this guy man will use my Money chop pepper soup Nd drink better beer since it's weekend ...

never knew he was preparing to deliver my phone on time...ie the same day I paid to him..
.so he called me Nd everything went smooth....

my experience so far

You got the redmi phone from me and I'm happy that you dropped this review. I hope you're still enjoying the phone. Season's greetings to you.

please what's escrow?

eazyjay4:

please what's escrow?

It's the use of one of the trusted men here to stand in as a middle man (most people use wese90), the buyer sends the money to the escrow and the escrow doesn't release the money to the seller till the product gets to the buyer and he/she confirms that it is in the stipulated conditions

I've never bought a phone here and I'll never try that,but I have bought 3 romoss powerbanks from two guys here,one just2endwoe and two from iscom...iscom was recommended to me by jiboxx

I have bought phone from protein0. The first time was in 2016. Xiaomi redmi4. Two month ago I got another xiaomi from him. There are still a lot of trustworthy people here.

I bought phone online via nairaland Samsung and swap my iPhone 6splus to Samsung 7duo..... got my power bank and ear pod via just2endownse here . The guy good

Just do proper checks, ask for vouches
Check when registered, how active, run a search on the phone number and account number

I got three phones here so far, since we lost olx, been buying on nairaland without regrets

No money to spend.

Except for my girl hair.

You are suffering from hallucinations. Next time, you verify your suspicions before making claims.
