Heard GTbank card limit per month is $500. How will someone be able to purchase items worth $800 - $1000 on AliExpress??
Or eBay

Yep. I got that notification about 3 weeks ago. I guess it was because of the worsening naira-dollar exchange occassioned by COVID crisis. It used to be around 2000usd per month, I think.

So when things get back to normal post covid, they'll likely up it. GTB no dey wicked like that like some other banks. Even apparently, with this increase in exchange rate, their rate is one of the lowest if not about the lowest.

As per your question, if you have more than one GTB account that you can pool for the transaction, you can talk to the seller explaining your limitation. Then he can create/list items in his store that cumulates to your intended amount to spend for that single item. You pay for the respective items to the limits allowed using your different cards.

Alternatively, those people in NL (they usually buy gift cards too) that helps buyers pay for items online at some subsidized naira-dollar-yuan exchange rate usually do not have that spending limit problem. They can help you pay as third party while you transfer to them the agreed naira equivalent.

The problem with this though is in the event of failure of delivery of item in which you will have to file dispute for refund, the money will be refunded to that third party's account, not yours and well, except you have an angel of God as that that third party guy, you may be in for a long haul getting him to even acknowledge being refunded by AE let alone him paying you back the money.

I've done it in Alibaba, seller obliged and split order to make it happen. Dunno about AliExpress, but since Chinese will do just about anything to make that sale, I won't be surprised if the seller agrees to this.

All I did was explain to seller my bank has max limit per purchase, and asked him to split the order into two.

can i have your contact bro?

229. That's the maximum. Seller is requesting I accept 214 so they can take half of the shipping fee (USD 30)

Screenshot?

viz stupid fone cant take screenshots

Hi guys, I've been shopping on AliExpress for 2yrs now but I don't understand what is happening lately.. last 2 weeks, I got an update of item delivered on the phone I ordered since march.. I had to call the post office but my post man told me that nothing came.. I was worried because none of my orders have been declared received before it gets to me in the past, but I decided to chill since folks on this forum who experienced the same still got their packages a day or 2 after such update..
Jboixxx also encouraged me to chill, that it will still come.
My people, this happened since 11th of this month and up till now, it hasn't gotten to my post office and I have less than 3days buyer's protection for an order that has been marked as delivered..
I'm really confused and scared. I dunno what to do.
Below are screenshots of the last updates I got.

you are in soup if the item never arrived and the tracking says it arrived. You can never win dispute with it like this.

Please can I see a sample of your exact shipping address to the post office?
I also am in Benin. It's my first order on AE, I just want to be sure my address is right.
Meanwhile is this your first delivery to the Edo PO?
What are some of their procedures there?

You're wasting precious time. Can't you see Item Delivered from NIPOST? Go down to your local post office and present your findings before your package vanishes into thin air. Let them contact GPO Umuahia to provide an update.

Isn't this the Post Office address? Airport Road postal code is 300251 but nothing to worry aboit. The post office along Airport Road, GRA will notify you when the package is ready for collection.
