HOW BUYING WORKS

Two ways to get a device

Every listing on sellcondhand.ng is either a live auction or a fixed-price Buy Now — some auctions offer both.

Live Auctions

You're always in control. Bid manually round by round, or set a maximum bid and let sellcondhand.ng raise it for you automatically — only as much as needed to stay in the lead. Switch between the two anytime.

  • Your maximum bid, if you set one, is never shown to other bidders — only the current leading price is public.
  • Once you're the highest bidder, you can't outbid yourself — you'll only be able to raise your bid again if someone outbids you.
  • A bid placed within the last 3 minutes extends the auction by 3 more minutes, so a last-second bid can't snipe a win.
  • If two bidders reach the same maximum, whoever bid it first stays in the lead.

Buy Now (Marketplace)

Fixed-price listings on the Marketplace, and some auctions, let you skip bidding entirely — pay the listed price and the item is yours immediately.

  • No waiting for an auction to end — checkout completes the purchase right away.
  • On auctions with a Buy Now price, it's only available while the current bid is still below it — once bidding catches up, the item can only be won by bidding.
  • Pay from your wallet, Paystack, or Flutterwave.

STEP BY STEP

Whether you're buying or selling

1

Sign up and verify your account

Create an account and confirm your email and phone number. This keeps every buyer and seller on the platform accountable.

2

Browse and choose how to buy

Filter by category, condition grade, and price. Bid on an auction — manually round by round, or set a maximum and let it bid for you — or use Buy Now for an instant purchase.

3

Pay securely into escrow

Pay from your wallet, Paystack, or Flutterwave. Your payment is held in escrow — the seller doesn't get paid until you confirm the item has arrived as described.

4

Receive your device and confirm delivery

Once it arrives, confirm delivery on your order to release payment to the seller. If something's wrong, open a dispute instead — no funds move until it's resolved.

1

Sign up and verify your identity

Selling requires identity verification (KYC) in addition to email/phone confirmation, so buyers know who they're dealing with.

2

List your device

Add 5–10 photos, pick a category and honest condition grade (A/B/C), fill in the specs, and choose auction (with a starting bid) or a fixed Marketplace price — or both.

3

Get reviewed and go live

Every listing is checked before it goes live. If something needs fixing, you'll see why and can edit and resubmit.

4

Ship it and get paid

Once the buyer pays, ship the item. When they confirm delivery, your payout (sale price minus a 5% commission) lands in your sellcondhand.ng wallet, ready to withdraw.

TRANSPARENT PRICING

What it actually costs

No surprise charges — every fee is shown before you confirm a bid, purchase, or listing.

FOR SELLERS

5% commission

Charged only when your item actually sells — never for listing, editing, or relisting. Minimum ₦5,000, capped at ₦50,000 per device.

Example: a device that sells for ₦300,000 costs ₦15,000 in commission — you keep ₦285,000.

FOR BUYERS

2.5% escrow & logistics fee

Added at checkout on top of the item price or winning bid, to cover secure escrow handling. Minimum ₦4,500, capped at ₦50,000.

Shown as a separate line item before you ever pay — never bundled invisibly into the price.

Built so both sides can trust the deal

Escrow on every order

Payment releases to the seller only after you confirm delivery.

Verified accounts

Email and phone confirmed for everyone; ID verification required to sell.

Every listing reviewed

Checked against our grading policy before it ever goes live.

Disputes are handled, not ignored

If a delivered item isn't as described, raise a dispute before funds are released.

KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GETTING

Every device is condition-graded

Grade A — Excellent

Looks and works like new. Little to no visible signs of use, full functionality, and all original accessories included where applicable.

Grade B — Good

Light cosmetic wear — small scratches or scuffs — but fully functional with no operational issues. Great value for the price.

Grade C — Fair

Noticeable cosmetic wear (scratches, dents, or reduced battery health) but still fully functional. Priced to reflect the extra wear.

Grade D — Damaged

Powers on and works, but has a disclosed defect — e.g. cracked screen, swollen battery, or faulty camera — stated clearly in the listing.
