Online marketplaces like Jumia, Jiji and Facebook Marketplace help sellers reach customers far beyond their shop. Here is how to start.
Becoming a seller
- Register on the seller centre with business details, ID and payment details.
- Complete the seller training.
- Upload your first products.
Great product listings
- Clear titles with brand, model, size and colour
- Several photos on a white background
- Detailed descriptions and specifications

Pricing
Factor in commission, delivery costs, packaging and returns. Watch competitor prices.
Fulfilment
Package orders quickly and well. Late or damaged deliveries hurt your ratings.

Good reviews boost visibility. Join campaigns and flash sales when margins allow.
