Phones are the most searched used category in Nigeria — and the most scam-prone in DMs. Listing on Zweka means the buyer pays into held funds, not into your personal account chat.

Prepare the device

  1. Back up, then factory reset / sign out of iCloud or Google
  2. Remove SIM and accessories you are not selling — or list them clearly
  3. Note battery health, storage, colour, and any cracks

List on Zweka

  1. Verify if you have not already
  2. Sell → phones category, sharp daylight photos (front, back, settings battery page)
  3. Price with comps — pricing guide
  4. Optional: open to swap if you want an upgrade path

Close the sale safely

Buyer pays in-app → meetup or courier → they inspect → Accept. You get paid after release — Accept code. Never agree to “I will transfer now, send the phone first.”

Visibility: boost with coins. Week-one plan: first week on Zweka.
