Firstnaija.com is an online auction offering members a safe, reliable and efficient medium for trading or exchanging goods and services at auction. The site allows buyers and sellers to list their products, interact with each other to verify features of the product, terms of sale and complete the sale of good safely. 

Like Ebay, the site is a marketplace where the person with the highest bid for any particular item wins the opportunity to purchase the item at that price.

Firstnaija.com also offers proprietary systems, like the Firstnaija Escrow Services, Feedback System, Verification System and SitePay, which greatly reduce, if not totally eliminate, the risk of fraudulent activities on the site.

With Firstnaija, buyers can…

- acquire brand new or second-hand goods inexpensively
- purchase non-critical supplies, e.g. stationery and office furniture
- acquire specialist, second-hand equipment inexpensively
- reduce the time spent on purchases by setting up automated searches and bid alerts

…and sellers can:

- run their own online store
- convert old items (e.g. furniture, electronics, novels, old textbooks, etc) into cash
acquire new customers
- test new products and establish price points
- dispose of excess inventory quickly
- price according to demand and stock levels
- reduce sales costs by minimising marketing spend
- sell unwanted gift items easily and quickly

Users can register for free and can get a N1000 credit to start them off with site-related expenses such as SMS alerts or online store subscription.
