How much will my shipping be to Nigeria? Estimated?

Question

I am selling a PSP and a bunch of accesories in a medium sized package be to shipped to Nigeria. I need an estimate to pay the buyer on ebay. Would you say around 50$?

Answer 1

You are crazy to do this on your own.  Here is a suggestion...

Tell the customer he has to set up an account with Bongo International.  Bongo will give him/her a US address and they will fraud screen the customer for you (for free).

Then, the Nigerian will give you the Bongo address in CT.  Ship the goods to Bongo and Bongo will ship the goods over to Nigeria.  They have very deep discounts with DHL so they will most likely save the customer money anyhow.  Good luck!

Answer 2

DON'T DO IT!

You're being scammed. Google "Nigeria scam" to see the various ways people in this country cheat you.

Are they offering to give you more money than you were asking for the PSP? And all you have to do is cash their check or money order and send them back some of the leftover money, while keeping some for yourself? That's one well known Nigerian scam.

Or are they promising you that your money will be released to you from where it's being held as soon as you provide them with a tracking number of the shipment? That's another good one.

KEEP YOUR PSP. Sell it to a legitimate buyer IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY who will pay you through legitimate channels. IGNORE ANY FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE FROM NIGERIA.

Answer 3

I would -pending the box size and specifics. I know, i  know I'm making assumptions, but be careful with online transactions and the possibility of a 419 scam. Don't accept payments in excess of what is owed and send back a refund only to find out that the payment was never valid.
