Payment options
There are several methods of payment available on Firstnaija.com. The method used to settle any particular transaction will depend on the options offered by the seller.
Firstnaija Escrow: This option takes advantage of the security that the escrow service offers both buyer and seller. Upon successful completion of an auction, the buyer will need to deposit payment (including any applicable shipping or insurance costs) with Firstnaija Escrow Services, who will hold the payment in trust until the buyer receives and accepts the item. Benefit:
Only when the buyer has received and accepted the item will payment be released to the seller, thus ensuring they receive what they paid for. Also, the seller is sure that money is collected by a trusted party before he ships the item. Highly recommended. Read more
Bank payment: Payment can be made directly into the seller's bank account. This payment may be made by cash, cheque, or online banking. In most cases, paid funds must clear before seller ships item to buyer.
SitePay: SitePay offers convenience in making and receiving payment for sold items. Using this method, the buyer simply transfers the amount due from his firstnaija.com site account to the sellers site account. This transaction is dependent on the buyer having enough funds in his account to cover the transaction. It is traceable and can be done on site. Highly recommended.
Cash: Not recommended. Cash is not traceable, so firstnaija.com DOES NOT recommend this option. If an item is not delivered to you, you may have no way of getting your money back.
Cheque: Payments can be made using cheques. In most cases, the cheque will have to clear before seller ships the item to the buyer.
Note: Do not agree to pay a seller using instant money transfers, as this is extremely risky!
