k9, did you stay the course or quit?

If someone claims that so and so Vessel is coming in with a shipment at a particular date.Request the full and proper name of the vessel and then Google it. This will reveal to you the mother company that owns the vessel. You can then request from the company the itinary of the ship, thus letting you know where and when it is on the seas and when it is due to arrive.

Yea your items will get shipped to Nigeria. I have been using Ebay since 2003, although when I first started there were really no Nigerian 419 guys there.Now they are "billions" of them. As a result you find some sellers actually putting up notices on their sales page like " Will not ship to Nigeria" Of all the 200 or so countries in the world, its Nigeria, everyone seems to mention.
Nonetheless, many Nigerians including me still buy and sell on ebay.
The shipping issue depends on the seller. If a seller explicity states he will not ship to Nigeria and you want his product, you can take any of theses two options:
1) Mail him before you bid, stating that you are geninue, although in Nigeria and see his response.Communication is key on ebay.
2) Contact someone with an account in the US to bid for you.

Apart from buying and selling on ebay, we run a service for people in buying or selling for them and quality services is guranteed.Send me a mail if this option might interest you. ini7000@yahoo.com
