I love to back this thread with real life examples. So a friend needed iphone12 pro max and I jumped on Facebook marketplace. Seller offered to sell at 800$ and I beat it down to $700. Let’s say shipping and other logistics take $75 so the total cost of landing this phone in Lagos is $775.

Boss, look what I found last night.

Wow! Really cool. I'm exploring Facebook Marketplace right now after reading through the posts here.

So I messaged some sellers to test the waters, most of them said they only accept Cash App. Any way around this?

Please, proceed.

Don't pay any seller directly... to the best of my knowledge, that's so risky as you might be chatting with a scammer.

Okay thanks... I'm not ready to buy anything yet. Just testing.

I have few questions for clarification sake.

1. Which states do you pick from?
2. How do you collect payments?
3. Is the shipping fee same for all items?
4. How long will it take to get to Lagos?
5. Do you negotiate the price with the client or we do that ourselves?
6. What's your contact?

Due diligence is very important. There are conmen everywhere. Helping people pick, I do cash only deals and meeting at public places. You cannot even pay from Nigeria directly unless your item is less than $100 (CBN restrictions) unless you use a dollar domiciled card.

So things to watch out for
- Check the price of the item and compare with related items. Too low price is a signal for scam.

- Seller offers to ship to you after you pay via Zelle or cashapp.

Good evening, please how did you achieve this? Are you using a USA Facebook or Nigeria Facebook? I'm using a Nigerian Facebook and when I checked the marketplace and searched for laptop, it brought sellers in Lagos and not in USA, please what am I doing wrong?

The OP already talked about this, and I was able to select a location in the USA following his teaching.

Just go to the location option, you'll see a map. Zoom in and move the map around until you see your preferred location, then select and click apply. May want to select the custom radius on the may too.

Let me know if this helps.

Soleye24:

Nigerian

Search for any USA location. It should load just fine.

Soleye24:
It's Lagos there.

Click on that blue location icon by the right where you see Lagos.

You should see something like this below.

Fill the desired location you want and narrow it to smallest radius/ distance

Following.

Am following, waiting for the Op

You can't search for another country when your GPS is on. Turn off your GPS and search for USA .... It's that simple....
