Ask all your bugging questions about starting and running a successfully profitable mini importation business with just N10k.

For real? Good. I have involv myself in HYIP'S and they have gladly run away with my money...and i decides to stop doing HYIP but to gladly involve myself in a viable visible business like the one you just mention...how can i start with that amount (10k), which products can i or should i order for with that amount, which genuine sites can i order this item from and how will i clear my products after they might have arrive in Nigeria....i will be glad to receive answers to those questions above....thank you.

A safe place to start will be aliexpress. A safe product to start with is female earrings, bracelets and bangles which you can get for below $2/piece. However, it will be best u get like 3 or 5 items as sample from a supplier or seller who would be willing to give u free or for a far lesser amount. Anyways, get to aliexpress.com to see things for yourself. Then get back with a reply.

You can import anything. But my advice is go after products that are not brand sensitive and they must be light products dat are easy to pack and ship. Infact go after products between $5-$200

Thanks bobobisco....what of payment mode. How do you pay for those goods ordered?

Debeloved87: Thanks bobobisco....what of payment mode. How do you pay for those goods ordered?

As far as i know, you can pay with any legit nigerian issued visa or mastercard debit card. I use uba africard and zenith bank's prepaid buxz card. They are both visa cards.

Jbrain88: ,dis site u pasted here ar they geniue and cheap to buy guds?

They are to the best of my knowledge. But i recommend www.ioffer.com. Wen u visit dis site, ur ip will be detected first. The prices will now be quoted in d currency of d country which the ip originates from. So in d case of nigeria d prices will automaticaly be in naira. You will notice dis especialy wen browsing on desktop.

Bobobisco: Which of the site have u bn Importing from,en d payment methods u stated ar the Nigerian card reliable?

asdan: Bobobisco: Which of the site have u bn Importing from,en d payment methods u stated ar the Nigerian card reliable?

www.ioffer.com. And yes the nigerian debit cards are reliable as long as they are visa or mastercard verified. However, you will still have to verify from your bank for the necessary setup procedure if any.

At www.ioffer.com these earrings go for between N550-N1200. However you could still negotiate further for a lower price.

Please by inactive, wot exactly do u mean. Is it dat d payment page isn't coming up or your having issues with d cards. Pls explain in details d problem ur experiencing.

When you click on Master Card or Visa to enter your details. You see a message under it that says“ We cannot charge Cards or accept at this time”. This problem has been on since last week. Maybe you should check it out urself
