Selling items online in Nigeria today has become the in thing. Sometimes, sellers on these free Nigerian e-commerce websites are not regular sellers or businessmen. Some of them are private individuals who have one fairly used item in their office or at home, which they do not need anymore, to sell. They simply take pictures of these items and upload them of any of the many e-commerce websites in Nigeria, fix a price for them and sell them off.

Most Nigerians today, who are looking for affordable, yet quality items to buy, mostly go online – and that is why the e-commerce industry in Nigeria is thriving.

For most sellers, especially the private ones, selling on these websites where they can sell for free is preferable. On these websites, they are allowed to post their items for free. All they need do is provide their location and contact info along with a picture of the item they want to sell; fix the price and wait for customers to call.

That said, we will go further to deal with the topic on the table.

1. OLX

Olx is the most popular of the bunch: Nigerians troop this website daily to either buy or sell items. I think the secret lies in the fact that sellers here post their items for free. In some cases, buyers have the opportunity to bargain on prices fixed on the site. This is possible because websites like Olx only allow sellers to display their items for free. The transaction and payment is not done on Olx, rather it is done directly between the buyer and the seller. Olx simply serves as the advert platform where buyers can find what they want. Every seller enters his phone number so all a buyer has to do is take this phone number and call the seller. This gives room for negotiation – and this is one the reasons why Nigerians like to buy from Olx. Being a seller here guarantees that you will make sales.

So go straight to www.olx.com open your account; upload your pictures of the items you are selling, fix your price, enter your contact details and target location and you are good to go!
