Buying on BasaNow

How to find, compare, and close a deal safely

BasaNow connects buyers and sellers across Nigeria. Use search and category browse to narrow results, then filter by location and price before you message a seller.

Before you pay - Inspect the item in person when possible, especially vehicles, property, and electronics. - Confirm the seller profile, listing photos, and any verification badges. - Agree on price, delivery or pickup, and timeline in chat so you have a record.

Payments - Prefer in-person handover for high-value items until you trust the seller. - Be cautious with upfront transfers to unknown accounts; use bank trails you can verify. - Never share OTPs, passwords, or card details in chat.
