i am having the same problem with my UBA MAstercard too on amazon.com
the truth is i actually used it for the first time on the 5th of September to buy computer accessories worth about 110k and i was billed accordingly by UBA bank. the goods were shipped to my customized address in myamericanshipper.com.
All of a sudden when i tried shopping 3 days later on amazon.com they rejected my orders and requested i fax my mastercard billing statement. i contacted UBA customer care and even forwarded the email i received from amazon to them detailing my predicament with amazon. they replied me that i should contact amazon to get in touch with UBA through email or their customer care lines. i forwarded the mail i recived from UBA to amazon and for over a week now amazon is yet to rectify my account with them.
At this point i am short of ideas on how to go about rectifying this.
PS. i contacted UBA branch at ilupeju and they seem confused about the whole saga. they don't even have fax machines grin to begin with

tundebj: I enjoy your lengthy post

well done guys... I appreciate. what you guys are doing here and few other related threads. Although I have known Nairaland since 2005 my motive have changed through all these years. My routine in Nairaland had been Front page, followed topics, webmasters, travels and sexuality until I discovered this thread last week. Because of my basic knowledge of buying and sourcing things online when I discovered the DIY thread by El Matteo it was easy for me to connect. however I havent been able to cover all the pages yet because of time but I will like to ask a question.

Please how do you access the credibility of a supplier on the Alibaba platform? As for Aliexpress I know I can read reviews and ratings

If you could shop on aliexpress, doing same at alibaba won't be an itch. They got almost thesame functions but alibaba is mostly for manufacturers, while aliexpress is for sellers though some manufacturers in alibaba also list their products for sale on aliexpress. Escrow payment is also applicable on alibaba, so guy no cause for alarm. If the seller does not meet up with his own side of the bargain, your money will be refunded to you. Chat with the maufacturer/supplier to make sure they give you exactly what you demanded for. Hope this helps

I'd like to say something about those above links. Could see that those jewelries are Gold plated and I don't advice anyone to go for such cos that's the lowest level of gold. When worn, within a short time frame, it tends to tarnish, wash, rob off and it turns colour which would eventually turn the skin green. I'd advice you to go for gold filled jewelries cos they're second to solid gold itself by far more better than gold plated. Well, I'd write a lil more on Solid gold, gold filled and gold plated tomorrow, it's quite late. Never knew time has gone this far. @Mr. Eze, just to let u know so as for your customers to keep buying from you without no itch. No offence

To know the credibility of a supplier on Alibaba, you need to check out for:
- verified supplier
- Gold supplier status
- Number of years on Alibaba
- Response rate
- low response effectiveness (vs industry average)
- substantiated complaints in last 90 days
chat with them, be honest.
hope this help.

Hello guys, promised to drop something here this morning but I've been busy all day. Well tis is it

When deciding on a gold jewelry item, there are different terms that comes up (Solid Gold, Gold Filled, and Gold Plated). It is important to know the differences between them when making your choice.  They may look alike but they're disappointedly not dsame.

(1) Solid gold is of course an exquisite piece of jewelry and it is accepted worldwide.  

(2) Gold filled is the next level and is an amazing quality alternative to solid gold.  which means if you can't afford to buy solid gold for financial reason, you could go for Gold filled.

(3) Gold plating is the lower level and these items tend to tarnish and can often times turn the skin green when worn for some short period of time.

Gold filled is not to be confused with gold plating as filled literally has 100% more gold than gold plating.  Gold filled is much more valuable and tarnish resistant. It does not flake off, doesn't wash, rub off or turn colors. As a matter of fact, anyone who can wear gold can wear gold filled without worries of any allergic reaction to the jewelry.  Gold filled jewelry is an economical alternative to solid gold! On this note, it is advisable to go for it.

When getting jewelries, always engage in a chat with the suppliers, tell them what you want; that you want a gold filled jewelry not a gold plated one, demand for just a sample, get to see it, touch and have a feel of it, see if it's really what you want before going into bulk purchase and let him/her know that you'd return it or leave a negative feedback if his/her product doesn't meet expectation. Hope this helps

For jewelries, free shipping isn't a bad idea. As for other ways, there's DHL, EMS, UPS, fedex and some others but they're quite on the high side cos they're fast. You can go for any of them if u culd afford their services.

Hope you've ordered for a sample of the product before trying to go for bulk purchase? Just asking, cash isn't easy to come by. Hope this helps

thank God, the jewlries i ordered for arrived today.
