₦airaland Forum

Suntemi:
Softhands, though your suggestion is good, I do think of it sometimes too, but remember Nairaland was originally made as forum not as a place for buying and selling so Seun may not necessarily be interested in setting up something of such.

What I think as solution however is to have say an old Nairalander who many nairalnders can vouch for serves as third-party between a buyer and a seller. So let's say Mr A wants to buy amazon gift card from Mr B, after agreeing on a price, they will get the third-party involve. Mr A sends money to third-party, third-party informs Mr B of Mr A's payment, Mr B then sends gift cards to third-party, third-party forwards the cards to Mr A and Mr B gets paid by third-party after Mr A receives the cards he or she paid for.

This way, we will be able to reduce fraud to its barest minimum.

I can volunteer to be the escrow service provider. Seriously speaking. I think we need to take the bull by the horn.

So another person has been scammed again.... Jeez! Well, as for me, the only people I can trust with my money on this thread is Meetmal.... and Tumababa, though I have not done biz with him. But Meetmal, she is 1 million percent tested and trusted.

Please can someone enlighten me on this Amazon DCC and how it works?

Please does anyone have any idea where I can buy lenovo ideapad z510 battery on amazon? Please someone should refer me to an amazon store that ships to Nigeria. The ones I have seen don't ship to Nigeria. Thanks

Please what is this STANBIC DCC all about, can somebody enlighten me?

I don't know about nowadays, but all the times i got refund from Ecobank, they refunded it at the prevailing rate. If it's still like that, you might get even more than you paid. Lol. Happened to me more than once on Ecobank.
Keep in mind that it's been at least a year i used Ecobank to purchase tho.
If it was GTB, Access and i think Diamond Bank. Prepare for 199 lol.

GTB doesn't refund in 199 per USD. My mastercard is linked to PayPal and whenever I get a refund, gtb pays me at the black market exchange rate.

aleshsenior2000:
You may check abokifx.com

I wonder why they named it abooki fx

It's like the thread creator is no longer active on nairaland. I checked her profile and it says last login was January this year. Thats over 5 months now.

This is strange o. The transactions I did on aliexpress yesterday was charged @331 /USD. The PayPal one I did earlier was charged @ 340 plus

GTB just sent me the alert for the naira deduction made on my account for a PayPal transaction of 0.97 USD which I did yesterday. They sent me a debit of 316.80 naira, meaning that The charge as of yesterday was 328 naira/USD. That amount is even less than what they initially debited yesterday. It means that I am expecting a refund of some money back to my account

Habeebpain:
Is N385.23 to a dollar. I bought the item on the 8th and these thieving bastards are just giving me the final alert in naira this morning {13th}.

This is strange o. The transactions I did on aliexpress yesterday was charged @331 /USD. The PayPal one I did earlier was charged @ 340 plus

I just purchased items on aliexpress via GTB and I was charged around 331 naira. Seems PayPal is more expensive because they charged me over 340 on PayPal earlier today.

GTB has gone mad. Imagine them charging 341.5 per dollar for the purchase of 1 USD I made this morning to check what their current rate is

Please who knows GTB rate in USD as of today. I need to know if it's over the 330/USD mark

fashrola:
Cos u are vulnerable to fraudsters looming on this thread, just search and contact trusted sellers and make your request privately, Stop making an open request like this on the thread

Could you please post names of trusted sellers on the thread so I can contact them.

I made a post requesting for about 100 USD to pay for items on aliexpress @290-295 per USD and that anyone who has such amount to sell should quote me. I can't find the post, I am believing that it was deleted by the Admin. I hope I did not violate any rule by making that request because there are several other similar post like mine here. Please anyone who has the fund should quote my post here. Thanks

100 dollars needed to pay on aliexpress @290-295 naira per dollar. Please quote me if you have such fund to make payment for me.

Haaaaaaa! So Mediamataz has turned to Nobody? So shall it be unto him in real life in Jesus name. Amen!!!!!

Mariesio:
I have been dealing with him since January, no bad experience

Yeah, I have also had dealing with him once but I just need to double check before I up the ante. The person who recommended him told me that legalwealth is the only person he can recommend to me because of the high number of Mediamatazes on this NL

Please does anyone have any negative experience with Legalwealth, does anybody have any bad experience for which to discourage one from dealing with him? With the whole scenario surrounding Meduamataz, one needs to do a double check. Thanks for your anticipated response.

I just had to flip back to previous pages to read and understand the scenario between tumababa and the scammer mediamataz. Frankly speaking, going by their conversation, and how mediamataz looked calm and convincing, anyone could have easily fallen victim. Having said that, if truly Gabman saw their interactions and failed to warm tumababa, then it's really bad of him. In fact, I think Gabman should have reported to the Admin when mediamataz confessed to him that he was a scammer. To see somebody sliding into a trap and kept quiet and allowed it is really a shame and disappointing. I feel pained because I know what it feels like. Tumababa, trust me, you will get over it as long as you don't allow the issue to eat you up. Just forget about the money and see the scenario as having made you wiser. Please let's try to be our brother's keeper. I did a transaction recently. I needed help and someone referred me to Legalwealth. Thank God I did transfer money to him and he delivered.

Please house, what's GTB Exchange rate as of yesterday?

I just found out myself today that GTB is still on 330. I hope they don't charge me more when they send me alert for the naira equivalent in 2 days time

Please house, what's GTB Exchange rate as of yesterday?

Please I need to open a verified PayPal account of either USA or dubai to send and receive funds. Anyone in the house with assistance?

Gunbiz:
How much does paypal charge 2 link a card?

Nothing.. Initially they will deduct S1. 99 from your card, once it is verified, they will return it.

Please I need PayPal dollars to pay for some items. Genuine sellers @ 290 /USD please

didymario7:
Theoretically yes but practically impossible because even if you report at any of the banks first thing in the morning, you will be told that their dollar quota for the day has been exhausted.

G
Hahahaha, comic country

Please I have a payoneer mastercard which was recently delivered to me but I don't know how to fund it yet
