Someone from Nigeria wants to purchase from me.
I am a little hesitant/since I have received so many e mails for shipping and buying to this country.
Is is legal to ship US prooducts to Nigeria from the USA?
Thanks/Pianomoe
To know if it is legal and how much the costs might be, see the USPS web site.
Some sellers list up front the countries from which they will not accept bids.
Some sellers list the countries to which they will ship only via registered and tracked mail (usually: India, China, the Far East, sometimes even Italy). Indian sellers seem to ship only via registered mail, no matter where, to protect their packages inside their own country I believe.
I would ask to be paid only via Paypal. After receiving the payment notification, I would check with my bank and not ship any item before the bank would confirm the deposit.
To dubious countries I would ship only registered mail with tracking (and maybe ask for postal insurance).
Peace of mind might not be worth the trouble of making a few bucks and be worried to death or be hassled later on .
Personally I would prefer not to deal with Nigeria in any way (buying or selling), shape or form. You never know what new scam might hide behind an apparently safe transaction. That is the price a country pays for condoning corruption as a way of life.
Must use Buy It Now and PayPal.
