paying for services online are very essential for quick response, it is then noted that some countries including Nigeria is omitted from Clickbank and Paypal list, thereby making it difficult for me to participate in some products and services provided online.\n\nI am also interested in some online courses hence I would need to get access to use these products, please give me more friendlier products that would enable me make it.\n\nThe use of VISA, MASTERCARD and others are ok but only few banks provided these services in Nigeria. I have quite a number of services and products I would have since loved to embark on, but the inability to gain access to most off these online paymeny processes.

i think you have to have a credit card to register, but you can ask people to pay via cheques or direct cash transfers (I think)

It is always best to offer as many possible payment options for customers as possible. Here are reasons why you need to accept both:\n\n1. Not everyone on this earth has a Paypal account, and not everyone is willing to sign up for one. If you don't have a merchant account, you will lose the sale of majority of the people who do not have Paypal accounts. Unfortunately, there is no data how many people actually abandon their shopping carts upon seeing that only Paypal is offered for payment processing.\n\n2. If you can get a good merchant account provider, transaction fees of Paypal is way higher and more expensive. This is true especially if you are selling high ticket items.\n\n3. Paypal is good if you are selling on ebay, or majority of your buyers are on ebay, or you are doing your online selling as a hobby.\n\n4. You don't get victimized by phishing schemes with your merchant account. There are tons of phishing emails on Paypal around, so you need to be careful on that one.\n\n5. Fraud controls. This depends on the industry - some are more prone to fraud than others. Unless you can put addons in your payment gateway (e.g. get Verified by Visa or some other controls), Paypal takes care of this on their end. So with a merchant account, the more fraud controls you put, the transaction costs becomes higher and keeping it becomes more expensive. \n\nI suggest give customers the option of using which is most convenient for them -- both. If they want to use their credit card, then you have the merchant account to process it. If they want to use their stagnant funds in their Paypal account, then let them do it. \n\nThen review how many of your customers actually use Paypal vs. merchant account, and estimate the cost for each. If only 3% of your customers use Paypal, then you can reconsider and use only your merchant account

There's been quite a history of creative internet scams which originated in Nigeria. They've since evolved and globalized. Be wary of any solicitations sounding too good to be true, especially those involving money and sporting a web-base email address. Their English grammar usually leaves a lot to be desired, too.

If you are getting those offers in your email and if they are unsolicited then most chances are that they are not genuine. However as far as giving bank details online it is fine till you are on a reputed site and the site uses secure payment system (like they are using verisign certificate, SSL - check whether the site address start with https instead of http, this is only one check). Best is to purchase from reputed sites and be careful while giving you bank card details.\n\nSecond way is get online shopping card which come in fixed denomination so even if some one manipulate you loose only very low amount.\n\nMantra is be careful and cautius

If you already have a bank account in yemen you'll be fine. You can just get people to deposit money direct in to it via paypal would be the simple way, mate.

Let me see, you need my bank account number, right?  Perhaps some up front money?\n\nSorry, I already sent my money to Nigeria to that guy who just needs a US bank account to hide the money from that King.\n\nPlease..  Spare us.

A lot of people use paypal. (Mostly people on ebay) but the point is if a company like this is so big and has many customers, they are usually the best way to go.  Since at their size customer fidelity is very important.

LOL . . . Me too\n\nI browsed alot of affiliate network websites, including cj.com, vstore.com and found that my country is not listed there - as well. Even some software developers from which I bought several software never replied me because of this reason.\n\nThis is what I did then. I find out what I need. Then I browsed the net to find out what are available. Though this takes longer, but there are still chances.

I live in Brazil and frequently bump into this situation. I haven't yet used any of the possible solutions and they might be slightly different for people in Australia.\nFirst of all, it's necessary to define what kind of barrier you're bumping into. I know of these:\n1) Credit card billing address is not in the US. The main concern here is credit card fraud. The site is woried that it won't be able to collect/prcecute you if you deny this purchase. If you buy alot, maybe you can open a checking acount in the US and have a credit card linked to it. Also, it seems to me that credit card compannies (Visa and Mastercard) are trying to address this issue and it seems that one solution will be thru the use of debt cards (Electron and Maestro) with enhanced seccurity. In these cases, smaller sites, in which you can acctually ring in and talk to someone might accept money order or some other solution.\n2) Another barrier is that a site might not have international delivery. One thing that might work, and I'm not sure this is what you were calling proxy, is a US address. I've received several e-mails offereing this service, but since I buy mostly books and cd's, I wasn't interested. Basically, you register and receive a US address. When ordering, you enter this address and the sites will ship your orders there. The company offering this virtual address service will then mail it to your real address. The only company I know that does it is LanBox. It is a Lan Chile group company which should qualify it as a reasonably serious company. But it operates only in some Latin American countries (I supose the ones Lan Chile flies to). Its site is at http://www.lanboxusa.com .\nWhat you might want to be aware of in these services is if the companny offering this service is giving you a P.O. box or and actual address. I've seen some sites stating that they do not mail to PO boxes. Also, this service is not cheap. There is a flat fee (or rent if you will) and a cost per order. Plus the delivery cost that the site will charge you.\n3) Finnally, another kind of barrier I've encountered is when attepting to buy a downloadable item like music or films. itunes and Google Videos, for example, do not allow sales to Brazil. I guess there concern here is that the legal system and law enforcement agencies will not do enough to prevent piracy. I think there are proxies that might be of use if the downloaded file is not limited to one computer only. There are a few questions on Answers concerning proxies and following these might give a clue.\nI know none of this helped you much but it might help some of the other readers. :(\nPS: Don't have to give me the points.

Paypal would be the best way, many merchants take PayPal, but far from all. I have also used a credit line called "Buy It Now" with some merchants and like it too.

The only Nigerian small business that I know about might not even be Nigerian.  It's something about a bank closing or funds moving and this guy wants me to move the money to the US where it will supposedly be safer and I will get a cut of the money if I just open up my bank account so they can deposit all the the millions and millions of dollars.  It sounded like embezzling though, so I lost interest...

More than spam...the link takes you to Nigeria where you are asked for personal financial details. I also get really genuine looking emails from my UK bank asking me to confirm account details...again, avoid these at all costs. The old saying is that if it looks to good to be true, it probably isn't true.

I have not seen any Bank giving credit/debit card on line. It may be a futile exercise. also I do not sugest u reveal your persoal information to any one here. experiences are not good. experience is the best judge.
