Breaking The Nigerian Auction Curse

Let’s face it Nigerians have soiled their name completely when it comes to buying and selling online.

On Ebay alone you will see items listed specifically warning Nigerians to stay away; also if you do a search for “Nigeria auction” on Google, you will only come up with results from fraud alert.

This is a pity I must say, because Nigeria is entrepreneur driven,  buying and selling is in the blood. As a result because of many, not just a few bad eggs, this opportunity of online buying and selling has been blocked in many ways.

We would like to revive this opportunity to allow Nigerians use the Internet for trade with a new auction platform dedicated to Nigerian Buyers and Sellers. The site is tailored to the needs of the Nigerian community offering specialized featured tools that help make local online trading easy, eliminate anonymity, encourage secure buying and selling, encourage trade within the country and gradually with International Buyers and Sellers.

We are replicating some well known buying and selling drawbacks in Nigeria, those that include fraud and safe payment solutions allowing us to create the ideal buying and selling environment for Nigerian Buyers and Sellers.

Before the official launch we have setup a separate site for people to share their views.

This pre-launch site will also create a base for founding members to receive membership rewards that include Free Credits, Free products to use or resell or even re-brand as your own, an opportunity to be the first to know about the official launch so that you can take advantage of the referral system.

Also founding members will be added to the partner program under the VIP category to receive a lot more rewards than the normal partners.

Please visit www.nigerianauctionbuzz.com for more information and this form can also act as a base for discussion

Thanks a lot Adriano,

Really good to hear some inspiring words.

We know we have a tough road ahead of us, thats the main reason we brought it to Nairaland ,  More heads are better than one.

Your opinion counts

Thanks

Hello Seun,

Thanks for your observation and participation.

I thought about this before creating this site, and the reason I decided to create this was strictly because of the questioner which plays a vital role in the development of the project.

I do welcome comments and views from you as I was also going to mail you, you are a good voice for Nigeria and would like to dedicate  a thread just for this auction purpose on Nairaland with a link back from the auction site (not nigerianauctionbuzz, but the real site), this will make Nairaland the official forum for the auction platform.

I've already had a chat with the folks at the scam forums who will become a part of the section of managing fraud on the site, and I feel for general discussions regarding the business side, Nairaland can be a good base

I'll mail you more on this and my suggestions

Thanks

Edward
