Ok!I understand your question as there are shipping companies in Nigeria that have USA & UK offices where they can collect your package on your behalf.Send it down to their office in Nigeria where you can do a pick-up or tell them to send it to you.

Hope you understand!

He is yet to finalise that step.He should log into his paypal to still click on the link and confirm card option to then click on continue for the code to be sent.

presegsAdesida,


you're not giving us full information, bro..

you're not hitting the nail in the head... Abi you wan sell ebook ni?

You're dodging some questions...

What is your method of buying and shipping from ebay to Nigeria?...
Cos, it seemed like you don't use those shipping companies you listed... Using those shipping companies will suck your profit. Except one want to ship for personal use.








I expected you to give a blow by blow process on how you were able to buy from ebay and receive your items in your door step... Briefly
Then questions and answers follows.

Except maybe you have hidden agenda

Funny you!
I said it somewhere on frontpage that I'm not that good and have time on step by step guide but you can ask any question related to this moreover I will try doing that if I can.

I don't even have let alone selling any ebook on importation.Don't use style in asking me question...Please tender your question as if you are personally asking question on how to go about that.

For your information,I do use myus.com premium service often aside other ones because I consolidate and ship packages worth at least 1,000$.
My last packages containning 5 laptops,blackberry z10,wrist watches etc shipped last month via myus worth more than 1,500$ and I didn't pay any customs duties.There are features on myus that you can't just find anywhere.

I just got to know a private shipping company in Lagos closer to my office but I wan't to transact very well with them to know their pros and cons and some other things put in place before recommending them to Nigerians because I have my name and companies name to protect.

I'm sure you got that!

STEP 1 - Sign on to Ebay and Paypal using a verifiable card/account and address (in the States ebay calls you phone to verify you account I'm guessing they do same in Nigeria or as some one said on this tread they send a text message.

STEP 2 - Register with a Shipping company (myus.com is very good and there are others check them out and read client reviews on them call them and ask a lot of questions once you have chosen one that you are ok with register with them, they'll give you your own personal address that u can use as a US address.

STEP 3 - Register the address your shipper assigned to you on ebay or amazon or any online site. once that is done you are ready to start buying from the site. Please note you can register your Nigerian address but that will mean you can only buy from sellers that ship worldwide (to Nigeria very few on ebay).

STEP 4 - Buying a product - On ebay there are 2main types of sales; Auction and buy it now. Always read reviews on the product and the seller make sure you read every info on the item check shipping cost and the kind of delivery the seller offers. In auctions put in you bid and watch the product until it ends you'll normally be notified if you are the highest bidder, with "Buy it now" once you buy it you are to pay. In which ever case you normally pay through paypal as they are sister companies actually they are one company.
NOTE in most cases you can negotiate prices with the seller by making an offer or counter offer before buying.

STEP 5 - Paying for you goods you usually have a few days to pay for a bid won and please make sure you pay for any bid you win if you don't you might have your account blacklisted as a non paying bidder, click on pay for bid it'll take you to your paypal account log in and select your payment option mostly going to be your credit or debit card and pay for the item.

STEP 6 - once Paypal gets your funds they transfer to the seller who ships your goods to the address you have on ebay (that's you shipping company i.e Myus, Shoptome, Aascargo etc) they get your goods and based on you type of account ship to you or wait till you tell them to ship and they deliver to their warehouse in Nigeria and you go there and pick it up after you pay for shipping, sometimes you have to pay for clearing.

- don't say you don't know how to give step by step guide.

- cos i believe you've written so many ebooks on paypal related issues.

-how do you go about using myus? What are their charges?

-you normally make transactions of upto $1000... Good capital, cos you'll enjoy some discounts from whatever shipping methods you're using... But it seemed like it'll not favour people with low capital to start with..

Nicey nano4real... Your head dey there.
Will be coming with my questions later...







Don't you think this middlemen charges will not affect one's profit? Especially one that has a low fund like 20k to start with?



I'm more interested in the profitability aspect of what i'm importing... I don't like a situation whereby, at the end of the day, the cost of the item and shipping cost out-priced with what is obtainable in Nigeria.

Where can I buy used phones & laptops in bulk frm U:S? Any site or online store?

It really depends on what you are shipping most of the shippers from the sates ship based on weight and some will ship for less but take more time the trick is that you have to research and find a good one that meets your needs and optimizes your profit also with low cash like that you may want to try Aliexpress if what you are looking at isn't cheap from there

You are right but not much as you think.I do answer any question asked related to PayPal.
Myus has different membership plans ranging from standard,premium and premium plus.
The first one is good for anyone that do ship once in a while when the other ones are good for those that ship often and as well do ship much packages because of vip treatments and 20% discount on shipping fee.

As a matter of fact,myus is good for frequent shippers with most bulky items that also want their package(s) sent to them as fast as possible.
It is also good for those shipping things for personal use.
As you've said,it is not recommended for those shipping petty items for selling.
There are other companies like shoptomydoor,shippyme etc that is recommended for those buying petty items.

Thanks for contributing to this thread be it drafted or copy and paste one because I said from my first write up that contributions are welcomed as well.

Aascargo is now shoptomydoor;take note of that please.

tanx to presegsADESIDA and nano4him, i have now verify my n.g paypal account, now how do i fund my account

tugrow: tanx to presegsADESIDA and nano4him, i have now verify my n.g paypal account, now how do i fund my account

You are highly welcome!
You don't need funding your Nigeria PayPal account because it can't even receive fund.
Just do fund your bank account to which your card you used to verify your PayPal is
linked to and any payment you send or make will be charged from the card.

Best! !!
