Will have to get one too.
What's the requirements, identity card, passport photograph, etc.

Means of identification and utility bill. I made use of NIMC and current Nepa bill. They didn't ask for passport photograph, only BVN.

And so I decided to bypass GTBank this morning and go straight to UBA for prepaid dollar card. In about 1hr 30 mins, the card was handed over to me, but I never paid a dime for it. I was only told to activate it by funding it with a minimum of 4USD.

Ha! Omo, I was wanting to order a battery and the only option available was seller's shipping method; guess I'll have to ditch the idea then

Then you might not get your battery from aliexpress because that's what you'll see in other stores. Generally, battery is seen as contraband, and so is not shipped directly using the legal means. That is why you see "via seller's shipping method" as the only shipping option. The store would have to look for means to get the battery down to you in nigeria. However, don't expect it through speedaf, but Nipost.

I have been following this thread for a while, so I feel like I should leave my experience here as well. I just got my GTB prepaid dollar card last week, and I didn't have an account with them prior to this. To get the card, they said that I had to have an account with them, even if it's tier 1. So, I opened a tier 1 account using my passport, and came back the next day for the prepaid dollar card. I filled a simple form for this and also provided another passport. The dollar card was received after 30 minutes of waiting. I didn't pay any cash to open any of the accounts.

My next plan is to get a UBA domiciliary savings account. This should also be free sha, but when I checked the bank last week, customer care told me that I need 1 dollar, my passport, and BVN. But, when I was directed to a different hall to open the account, the young guy there said that I need 50 dollars for it. Well, the thing shocked me sha, but I will be checking other UBA branches to see if that's the same everywhere. I tried opening the account online from the UBA website but their website is crap.

Guess your location is not Lagos, because those customer agents in lagos-based gtbank branches are very greedy, wanting to take advantage of gullible customers. Av been to two branches for their dollar card. One agent told me to bring $10 and the other said it's $20 for the same dollar card.

Hello House,
Please From your experience is it advisable to order external ssd from Aliexpress …the reviews on the product and seller are good but there are negative ones as well but not as much as the positive feedback.

Thank you

Even quality products on aliexpress have negative reviews because, people see things from different perspectives. What you need is to check the overall ratings (in %) of the store you're buying from. For me, any store with 90% ratings and upward is good to go.

And to your question, yes you can buy your ssd from there.

Does anyone know how many items I can buy with the "new user promo"

Good morning

Destinylink | Olamak1

If you're talking about "New user coupon", note that it applies to ANY item(s) on Aliexpress, and normally reduces the amount payable on goods when Checking out.

Look at options I selected item was not received, past delivery time

Then you can exercise patience as you await the outcome of Aliexpress judgement which, I believe, will be given in your favour.

Nb
In case you haven't added any evidence to support your claim, you need to screenshot the tacking information of the parcel and upload it. That could be the reason Aliexpress is asking for more information.

Technology Market › Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by Olamak1(m): 11:25am On Nov 19, 2022

Chizip:
No I didn't

Then you should have selected "item not received" in the options. The option you selected is the reason Aliexpress keeps postponing their rulings. They expect you to send the item back to China before your refund is granted. You may have to reverse the dispute process and start all over again by choosing "items not received" as stated above. But I don't know whether it would still be possible for you to do that.

But you already have an account with them. Would they tell you that if you just walk in from the street without any prior dealings with them. They would be arrested for money laundering if they try that.

Interestingly, I never discussed that with the lady before she told me what to do. I think it's available for all and Sundry, provided you're able meet the requirements. When I left the banking Hall this morning, I decided to go online to gather more information on it. Then I discover that the prepaid dollar card is available for account holders and non-account holders.

PREPAID DOLLAR CARD IS DIFFERENT FROM DOMICILIARY ACCOUNT CARD.
Let me explain as much as I can.
Domiciliary account is an account you open in a bank for foreign currencies and you can get an ATM card for it. When you get an ATM card for it, the funds in your Dom account can be accessed through the card when u want to make payments via card.
Now to PREPAID DOLLAR CARD, this is a stand alone card that is not linked to any bank account. For you to use it, You need to pay in physical Dollars over the counter at the bank. You can also ask someone who has a Dollar prepaid card to sell you funds, he can transfer from his card to yours ; I use UBA Prepaid Dollar card and this is the method i use to fund my card 99% of the times(see the screenshot attached).

Now to make the distinction very clear, lets assume you have a UBA dollar prepaid card and you also have a UBA dom account,
1. YOU CANNOT USE YOUR DOLLAR PREPAID CARD TO ACCESSS FUNDS IN YOUR DOM ACCOUNT!!!
2. YOU CANNOT TRANSFER MONEY FROM YOUR DOMICILARY ACCOUNT TO YOUR DOLLAR PREPAID CARD!!!
The 2 are completely different and are not linked in any way.

I have UBA, Zenith bank and Access domiciliary accounts, ATM cards linked to the Dom accounts and dollar Prepaid cards for each bank.
Of all, UBA is the easiest to get.
To open a dorm account or get a dollar prepaid card with UBA all u need are:
1. Means of identification: NIN, Voters card, Drivers Lincense or Intl Passport
2. Utility bill
3. A passport photograph
That is all!!!
And you must make a deposit of atleast $5 as initial deposit (just buy from a Mallam close to you).
They dont ask for referees or any of those long process.
However, I have one issue with their Dom account, YOU CANNOT TRANSFER FROM YOUR DOM ACCOUNT TO ANOTHER DOM ACCOUNT.
Access allows me to transfer from my Dom account to another Access Dom account ( I av not tried transfering to another bank's Dom account before).

I hope this ends the confusion, Domicilary account ATM is not the same as a PREPAID DOLLAR CARD! They can both be used for international purchases but they are not the same.

QED!
Thank you for clearing the confusion on this domi-dollar-card issue! The other day, I was told that it's not possible to get dollar card without domiciliary account. To add to the confusion, I decided to call a friend working in gtb, telling him I would like to get a prepaid dollar card, but his response was that I must open domiciliary account to get it. Surprisingly this morning, I went to gtbank to make a deposit of some cash. Thereafter, I approached one of the customer agents telling her I would like to get "prepaid dollar card". The lady's response really shocked me simply because I was expecting her to mention domiciliary account and then hand over application form for me to fill. Rather than doing all that, she just said, "the requirements are: one passport photograph and 10 US dollar. "Is that all?" was my next question to her,and she answered in the affirmative. She even told me that the card would be issued out instantly whenever am ready for it.

Good day all. I have a silver account on aliexpress and just from the blues I tried to checkout on Nov 11th, 2022 and I get the attached error. I have tried the following

1. Appealed Sent ID, screen shot of card and trasaction details on the account
2. used my wifes account and card same error
3. Appeal was declined in all instance saying i use another card which I did and same story.

Same csc_7200026 payment error which I know has to do with according to them when they question the ownership of the card.

NB: I own the cards and account but just dont understand why my ID card, bank transaction on the card and screen shot of the card is not enough for Aliexpress. Card issuer are silent on my challenge

How has had this challenge and sorted it out

Your case is unusual! Using other people's card for payment on aliexpress shouldn't give headache if due process is followed. Av used my brother's gtb card and my wife's Zenith card and the payments were seamless.
Anyway, you can check the link below for possible solution to your payment challenge:

Hello. Can I use multiple cards to make payment for a single item that cost more than Naija card limits?

Yes, you can! First chat the seller and ask him/her to split the payment to enable you pay with 2 or more debit cards.

Did you open in the bank,website or app....
Useless bunch 11.11 has finally ended and I didn't buy shit will now buying at regular price on Monday if they give me the ATM....

While awaiting the collection of the said ATM card, here's what you should have done to take advantage of the 11.11 coupons and discounts : check out on the items of your choice and then press "pay" option, remember that discounts and coupons would have been added here . At this point, your old atm card won't process the payment and so the order is automatically added to the list of "unpaid items." Thereafter, you'd see below the order the time limit within which payment is to be made after which such payment is cancelled. Some payments laspse for 24 hrs while some take longer time . In my own case, out of the 7 orders on the list of unpaid items (after axhausting 3 debit cards), 4 are to be paid for in 24hr while the remaining 3 have 20 days of payment time each. So, 20 days from now, the 3 atm cards would have been ready again to effect the payments.
