Most of prices are unimaginable! Are they 4 real? Or something close 2 original? Are they worth venturing into?

Response pls.

eph12: It doesn't always have to be escrow. T/T is money transfer.

Thnks broda.

uchman: Please who knows how much eco bank MasterCard charges for transaction?

Got mine @ 1k.

Thespecialone: Scanned copies of the following :Valid ID, Bank statement, Your debit card showing your name, issuing bank and expiry date. Ensure all the card numbers are blocked except the last four digits. The statement can be in pdf format.

Thnks sir. I gt dat.

Would u need 2 do same thing on alibaba portal? Or dat of aliexpress covers all?

Nivlin: By adding GUANGZHOU to your search phrase. E.g 'GUANGZHOU shoe', "GUANGZHOU curren'

I really appreciate. I'll try it out.

zemaye: .
apply for a new one this one cannot pay online.

Noted. Thks bros.

Thespecialone: Be proactive and send the required documents to security at aliexpress.com with the subject request for verification

Pls what are d so-called required documents?

mrhello: @op. Good job.
It cannot be beta said. D true is dat most Naija China based shippers are consentrated in d same location being GZ. So shipping 2 them frm your seller is cheaper (sometimes free) than frm SZ.

Like most sellers are concentrated in Shenzhen. Pls hw can I source for sellers within a particular location, say Guangzhou?

Thks in adv.

Nivlin: The shipping agents in China are Nigerians, just call them on phone and discuss with them.

Pls i there any guarantee dat they wil nt 'chop' your money? I guess one may end up d discussion wt making pymnt into d shipping company contact (rep.) personal account.

Or must intending buyer insist on paying such money into d shipping company account instead of paying into a private account?

mrtnt: Now, considering d compulsory handling charges on aliexpress/aliababa, will it still be advisable to pay abt $500 on alibaba wt escrow?

Pls what is T/T means of payment & hw does it work on alibaba?

Any1 there?

phranco: No try Am oo, unless u want ur money to sink

So escrow is still d best way 2 go?

timothyuche1: Please I have not been able to pay with my first bank visa card since getting, I want to know if am required to do anything before it will be accepted on aliexpress. it keeps telling me that I can't pay with the card

See d issue mentioned here:

Ymodulus: [b]
Before we use to know MASTERCARD / VISACARD fro UBA , Zenith FirstBank as one of the best but today things have changed. This is where consistency comes in. enough of the talks.

2. FirstBank. -- VISA CARD -- Cheaper Than Access ( However not popular and problematic. around $158

@op, gd idea.

@@Ymodulus & co. Thnk u 4 coming onboard..

Thespecialone: same card, change your iPin at the ATM before using on aliex.

I attached d pic of d atm card I'm referring to. I hv 2 to do dis 2 be very sure we are saying d same thing.

Based on d clause "valid only in Nigeria" inscribed on d card, I called their customer service 1st thing dis morning 2 re-confirm it works 4 international online transaction, bt he maintained there's another one called international debit or visa card which I hv 2 apply 4 again @ N1.050. He also maintained dat obtaining dis will make my existing atm card irrelevant cos d new one too wil serve as atm card.

I know sometimes most of dose bank guys/gals dont really know some things abt their operation hence they giv u wrong info. Pls does any1 in d house use exactly dis type of Diamond bank atm/visa card 4 int'l transaction esp. on aliexpress?

Thespecialone: Be proactive and send the required documents to security at aliexpress.com with the subject request for verification.

Thnks bros 4 ur response.

Pls I hv 2 ask more, since it seems u are d only1 online at d moment.

Pls what are d so-called required documents?

Thespecialone: same card, change your iPin at the ATM before using on aliex.

Thnks bros esp. 4 prompt response.

Now, to use it on aliexpress, is there anything 2 still do like verification, registration or activation? Or it's just "plug & play"?

Pls, afta having change d iPin on Atm, is there any where 2 use d iPin on aliexpress portal?

Thnks in adv.

Innovation4real: Let d gurus in d house permit me 2 open dis thread which intends 2 answer all enquiries / questions ONLY about MasterCard, Visa Card, etc. as well as sharing of experiences.

. Any question ONLY on cards.....

Many intending mini-importers hv bn asking same questions at diff. times on d popular DIY Guide Free Seasons yet more major issues on importation are over-taking d answers.

May we then use dis thread to MAINLY look at Card issues.

@Ymodulus, etc. Pls make dis thread lively naw........

Thespecialone: diamond visa

Thnks a lot for d tip.

But sir, is it d same as their ATM card which hs VISA inscription on it? Or there's another card they exclusively call VISA?

If it is d same ATM card, pls do I need 2 do any other activation with d bank on it b4 I enable it for aliexpress pymnt? Pls adv. asap
