SnapSellGo

Global reach with Nigerian naira support. Free shop, free listings, free forever. Snap AI writes your descriptions.

Jiji.ng

Nigeria's #1 classifieds. Free to list but visibility dies fast without paid boosts (₦500–₦5,000/week).

Facebook Marketplace

Free for local deals. Massive reach across Nigeria. Best for large items (furniture, appliances) and local meetups.

Jumia Nigeria

Large e-commerce platform. High fees, strict quality control, complex seller onboarding. Best for high-volume electronics sellers.

Konga

Nigeria's second major marketplace. Lower fees than Jumia. Slower growth but loyal buyer base. Good for electronics and fashion.

WhatsApp Business

Nigeria's dominant commerce channel. Free catalogues, broadcast lists, direct negotiation. Most Nigerians buy via WhatsApp first.

Phones & Electronics

Nigeria's #1 category. Used iPhones, Samsung Galaxy, Tecno, Infinix. High demand, fast sales. Always include IMEI and warranty info.

Fashion & Clothing

Ankara prints, agbada, designers (Zara, Nike, Adidas thrift). Female clothing dominates. Instagram and WhatsApp drive most fashion sales.

Crafts & Artisanal Goods

Bead jewelry, leather goods, wood carvings, Aso-oke fabric. High international demand. SnapSellGo connects you with global buyers.

Home & Furniture

Local pickup only. Facebook Marketplace and Jiji.ng work well. Rising middle class upgrading homes = steady demand.

Cars & Auto Parts

Cars.com.ng and Jiji dominate auto sales. Spare parts market is huge — especially Toyota Corolla and Honda Accord parts.

Educational Materials

WAEC/JAMB prep books, university textbooks, professional certifications. High demand at school resumption periods.

"I was paying ₦3,000/week to boost on Jiji and still getting lowball offers. On SnapSellGo I listed my iPhone 13, set my price, and sold it in 4 days for full price to a buyer in Abuja. Zero fees."

"I make bead jewelry in Kano and I've been trying to reach international buyers for 2 years. SnapSellGo listed my pieces in dollars and pounds — I got my first UK order within a week. Flutterwave payment was smooth."

Can I really sell online for free in Nigeria without any fees?

Yes. SnapSellGo charges 0% commission permanently. Facebook Marketplace is also free for local sales. The only costs are your shipping fees (GIG, Sendbox, etc.) — which you pass on to the buyer.

What payment method is safest to receive money in Nigeria?

Opay and PalmPay are instant and widely trusted. For bank transfers, always confirm the alert before releasing goods. For high-value items (phones, electronics), meet in a public place or use an escrow service. Never ship before payment clears.

Do I need a CAC registration to sell online in Nigeria?

No. Individual sellers don't need CAC registration. You can sell as an individual. Registration becomes relevant if you're building a brand, hiring staff, or need a business account. Turnover below ₦25M/year typically falls under simplified FIRS rules.

How do I sell my Nigerian crafts internationally from Nigeria?

List on SnapSellGo in USD or GBP. Set up Flutterwave to receive international card payments. Ship via DHL (most reliable for international) — a 1kg package to the UK costs approximately ₦18,000–₦25,000. Include a commercial invoice for customs.

Is Jiji.ng really free or do you have to pay?

Basic listings on Jiji.ng are technically free, but without a paid boost your listing drops off page 1 within hours. In practice, most active sellers spend ₦2,000–₦5,000/week on boosts just to stay visible. SnapSellGo is free without this catch.
