Building Trust as a New Nigerian Seller (Zero Reviews)

New sellers get more scrutiny. Here is how to earn trust fast.

1. Use Your Real Photo

Real selfie > logo. Buyers trust faces.

2. Verify Your Account

Green tick = 3x more clicks.

3. Ask Friends to Review

Genuine reviews from your first buyers carry weight. Politely ask after each sale.

4. Join the Chat, Don't Push

Answer questions in the platform chat. Build rapport before payment.

5. Offer Pay on Delivery

Removes buyer risk. Yes, it costs you a little, but it wins first sales.

6. Show Real Photos

Take photos on your phone, in your shop, of your actual item. No stock photos.
