The mini importation business is one of the most profitable businesses anyone can lay his/her hands on. With the right attitude and commitment one can turn a few thousand Naira to Millions of Naira in short period of time. Daily, tens of people are turning to this business; either on a full-time or part-time basis. However, as interesting and profitable as this business can be, it can also be quite frustrating. There are two vital parts of the importation process. The first part is, Buying and shipping goods successfully from trade portals (Mostly from Chinese sites Aliexpress, Alibaba Dhgate Etc); while the second part is selling the goods quickly and profitably. The second part is where most people are not finding easy and which is the reason many people are quitting the business. However, Konga has presented a unique and wonderful opportunity for people to sell on their platform, and several smart individuals are making tons of cash selling their imported goods on this platform on a regular basis. I made over N500,000 within 30 days myself (Don’t worry, I will show you proof), this programme is known as Konga Marketplace. This article would discuss the entire process involved in setting up your store on Konga marketplace and it’s very important you act on this information if you truly want to a lot of money from your importation business, there is no limit to how much you can make selling your imported goods on Konga, and the sweetest part is, You will sell Fast.

SALES COMMISSION ISSUES
Konga earns certain amount of commission for every item sold on your store; the percentage of commission depends on the category of product sold. Another factor that determines the amount of commission charged is the class of seller you belong to; there are two classes of seller; premium seller and classic seller. Premium sellers often run large stores and make sales of about #1million per month with a minimum quality rating of 90%, commission rate for this category of seller ranges between 2-7%, classic seller on the other hand run small stores with sales value less than a million Naira per month and quality rating of 80%, commission rate for this category of seller ranges between 3-10%.

DROP OFF POINT
There are various drop-off points within Lagos state, once an order is placed on your store, Konga notifies you immediately, and you’re expected to package the item ordered and drop it off at any of Konga’s drop-off point in Lagos. You’re not expected to pay any fee for the shipping process, once you get to the drop-off centre, all you need to provide is your Seller ID, your order waybill which you must have printed out from your Seller HQ, after which you will be given a tracking number with which you can monitor the delivery of the item to your buyer.

You don’t have to worry about the shipping fee, the product price plus the shipping fee will be calculated for the customer to pay at the point of ordering.

PAYMENT
Sellers are due for payment once delivery is confirmed by the buyer and the refund period is over; normally, Konga allows buyer to request for refund if they’re not satisfied with the product they bought from a particular store, once the refund period is over, payment is made into sellers account based on the bank information provided during the sign up process.

Thumb's up man! I wanted to try dealdey.com but I was discouraged with their 25% commission. I think this is better. 2015 will surely be a better year. Thanks man!

Yea! Dealdey and Jumia has the highest commission rate. But that doesn't mean you can't do business with them. It's all about making your calculations right, you can sell your goods on these platforms at different prices.

For example, Shoes I sells for N2,500 on Konga goes for N4,000 on Jumia . This way, I have added Jumia's 25% commission without affecting my own profit. And the Ironic part of it is, Jumia brings in more sales than Konga

Mastercee God bless you for the eye opening.

I want to ask how long it takes for konga or jumia to pay back the seller after a particular product has been bought.
