Carlos Ventures is running a computer hardware store. Many websites like his are hardly warm and welcoming. They mean what they say they do. Hardware sales and nothing else.

To me, website looks okay. The problem I've got is the all caps and highlighting on white background. I had to squint to read through the text.

@ Ccomputers,

Your website is okay. If it works for you, then keep doing what you're doing. No need to apologize.  wink Seems you just love the all caps thingy. Cool cool
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by dtwsola(m): 12:26am On May 09, 2009
Though there are plenty of merchants on eBay, many of the items are sold by private individuals, and not merchants. Hence there is a risk associated with the initial purchase. Adding a middleman into the situation would only further complicate the matter if the seller didn't live up to his part of the deal. If I were in Naija and I wanted something from Ebay, I would not use any such service.

And to Ccomputers I would not even consider using a service from someone with such poor internet etiquette. I understand you want to hustle your product, but you are spamming the boards with your constant sales pitches. Also typing in all caps as perceived as shouting on the web, and is commonly practised by retards.
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by Smartsboy(m): 8:53am On May 09, 2009
You guys have tried. I received a mail from carlos of his importation business but still in CAPS. maybe he loves writing on caps even with a biro pen,

I tried calling Meg witman on ebay when my account was suspended.
The true owner of the mail box responded with a very programmed response.

I never tried going there again.
I would recomend shopping on flegz.com though
If you don't find what you want there, you can request it.

Cheers.
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by dearstan(m): 9:15am On May 09, 2009
Something seem amiss here. I advice everyone to be extremely cautious when dealing anonymously here. Though i am not trying to discredit carlos computers, but his post just dont seem right.
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by sunnykiss(m): 10:46am On May 09, 2009

@sunnykiss,

LIKE I SAID MY BUSINESS IS A PHYSICAL ONE AND WHY I PUT UP THAT WEB IS JUST TO WRITE THE THINGS I IMPORT DOWN FOR ANY ONE ONLINE THAT NEEDS TO SEE IT; TO HAVE A LOOK AND VIEW IT.

WHEN THERE IS THE NEED TO CREATE A CUSTOMIZED WEB THEN I WILL DO THAT.

AS FOR THE TRAINING PLS ONLY THE PEOPLE THAT ARE READY WILL CALL OR MAIL ME AND LIKE I SAID ITS COSTLY BUT PROFITABLE COS THE US MARKET IS THE BEST AND ANYTHING U GET THEIR MY DEAR U HAVE MORE THAN 1YR GUARANTEE TO IT.

I'm surprised at Nigerians even more so surprised at Nigerians who live abroad and are failing to enlighten the folks back home how PayPal works, how the hell do you think you can shop directly with EBay from Nigeria when you don't and cant have a paypal account eh? the Credit and debit card platforms are diffrent plus you need phone or bank activation to be able to open a PayPal account,hence yahoo boys hack and steal real PayPal accounts to jump that bridge, I have an EBay account and a PayPal one to, I logged into my PayPall account from Nigeria once, in less than30mins my account was suspended, to re open it, I have to log into my on line bank account or wait for my credit card statements cos PayPall will deposit lil sum into it and ask you to fill in the amount for them to re open the account. SO if they cant deposit money unto ur account or they cant activate your paypal account via phone cos you are in Nigeria, how do you intend on opening a pypal account then?forget the yahoo boyz, there are more scams coming from India and china than any scam yahoo boyz can pull in 30 years to come,come to think of it, have you guys ever sat down and thought bout the fact of where and from whom yahoo boyz buy thier tools from ie CC,Bank AC//on-line password etc? from India and china UK,America you name it, they under publish thier crime and highlight the ones of Nigerians whom only account for less than 2% of overall fraud caused on-line,wise up Nigerians re-brand yourselves.

DEAR ALL,

PAY PAL IS SECURED NOW VERY MUCH WELL COS EBAY.COM HAS BOUGHT IT AND DEPENDING ON WHAT U WANT TO USE IT TO DO . NO ONE IN USA, CANADA, UK OR EVEN EUROPE WILL AGREE TO OPEN A PAY PAL ACT FOR A NIGERIAN EVEN THOUGH THE PERSON MIGHT BE HIS SISTER OR HER BROTHER COS ONCE U DO DIS AND THERE IS ANY FRAUD TRACE, PAY PAL WILL COME D NEXT MINUTE WITH FBI KNOCKING ON UR DOOR.

SO FOR SOMEONE THERE TO OPEN THESE ACCOUNTS FOR U, D PERSON MUST BE SURE THAT UR A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN AND DAT U CANT AND WILL NEVER GO INTO FRAUD.

I OPEN PAY PAL FOR PEOPLE BUT I DON'T DO IT AS BUSINESS LIKE MANY NIGERIAN DO COS B4 I WILL OPEN FOR U , I MUST KNOW WHAT U DO AND WHO U ARE BEFORE DOING THAT OR ELSE ANYTHING DAT GOES WRONG FBI WILL JUST GO AND LOCK UP MY COMPANY IN NEW YORK COS THAT'S D ADDRESS WHICH I USE.

ALL THESE THINGS ARE VERY EASY AND THAT'S IF U HAVE D SKILL AND THE LINK UPS AND THAT WHY EACH NIGERIAN NEEDS THIS IMPORTATION TRAINING BUT AS IT IS I CANT DO IT FOR MANY PEOPLE BUT FOR FEW AND JUST FEW.

THANKS A LOT NIGERIANS
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by Smartsboy(m): 4:41pm On May 09, 2009
They just dont like nigeria. Which country in this world that dosnt engage in fraudulent act? Is not good. Paypal should operate in nigeria with high security.

Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by Ccomputers(m): 8:57pm On May 09, 2009
@justwise,

THERE IS NO NEED ABUSING ME ITS SO SIMPLE. I HAVE HAD PAY PAL WHEN I WAS IN MY SS3 SECONDARY SCHOOL ABOUT 6YRS AGO. PAY PAL IS NOT A CHILD'S GAME AND IF YOU KNOW MUCH ON IT THEN TELL NIGERIAN HOW THEY CAN DO IT.

THERE ARE SECRET THINGS AND THERE ARE MERCHANT THAT DEALS ON UNITS IN THAT UK U ARE THAT U EVEN DON'T KNOW WHY I KNOW AND SHOP FROM THEM.

U MUST NOT KNOW EVERYTHING. AS FOR ME AM NOT IN THE USA BUT WITH MY EMAIL AND MY CREDIT CARD AND PAY PAL ACCOUNT, I GIVE COMMANDS TO WHITE MEN AND THEY OBEY ME AND I GET MY COMPUTERS DOWN HERE AND CLEAR THEM AT THE CUSTOMS AND THEN HAVE THEM DOWN HERE IN AWKA.

I HAVE THE NEW PAY PAL PLUS CARD AND ITS WORKING FOR ME AS I AM TYPING THIS HERE. SO DON'T TELL ME I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PAY PAL COS AM AN INTERNET MARKETER AND KNOW REAL SECRETS AND GENUINE ONE'S .

THANKS A LOT NIGERIANS

@erico2k2,

Pple like this slowpoke made it almost imposible for decent Nigerians to buy things from ebay from Nigeria, i really hope that anybody will do business with this guy, Internet is a gr8 place to do business buy 'some' Nigerians have turned it into a crime scene.
Re: Can One Shop On Ebay From Nigeria? by mbulela: 7:03am On May 10, 2009
from his very first post i knew that Ccomputers was a joker.
i really wonder how people fall for internet scams?
i am not the most intelligent of persons but each time i can smell the coffee from a mile off.
i wish everyone will just ignore his mails and continue a worthwhile discussion, if their is still more to be said on this topic.
the guy does not even understand the concept of paypal and Ebay that is being talked about.
i guess his 419 masters just gave him a template to use in replying to mails and he probably does not know where the caps lock key is on the keyboard.
so much for a laptop importer. importer my foot!!!!

My point exactly!! he got no clue wht he is talking about, he is just a dummy, some scumbag somewhere writes for him and he cuts and paste here. Who ever falls victim to this guy should book an urgent appointment with his/her GP for brain scan.
