Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer here? Get in touch.

Buying

How do I know the savings are real?

Every listing shows the seller's asking price next to the market price it's compared against, with the naira amount and percentage saved calculated automatically — not typed in freehand by the seller.

When does the seller get my money?

Not until you confirm the item arrived as described (or 3 days pass without a dispute). Until then it's held by CutPrice.

What if the item isn't what was listed?

Open a dispute instead of confirming receipt. See our Buyer Protection page for exactly what's covered.

Can I message a seller before buying?

Not yet — today you can see their rating, review count and other active listings on their public profile before deciding.

Selling

Is it free to list an item?

Yes. CutPrice only takes a 7% commission when an item actually sells — no listing fees, no monthly charges.

How fast do I get paid?

As soon as the buyer confirms receipt, or automatically 3 days after they receive it if they don't act.

What's a clearance countdown?

An optional timer you can add when listing. When it reaches zero the listing locks at its current price automatically. See the Seller Guide.

Do I need to be a registered shop to sell?

No — individual accounts can sell too. "Shop" accounts are for traders selling regularly and may need a one-time approval before their first listing goes live.

Disputes & safety

What happens when I open a dispute?

The payout is paused and the CutPrice team reviews the listing, the item as received, and both sides' account before deciding on a refund or release.

Are sellers verified?

Every seller carries a public rating built from real completed orders, visible before you buy — not just claimed by the seller.

Is my bank/payment info safe?

Bank account details are encrypted at rest, and payments are processed through licensed payment gateways — CutPrice never stores your card details.

Account

Can I switch from buying to selling?

Yes — every account can both buy and sell. Listing your first item automatically enables seller features on your account.

How do I get notified about deals in my category?

Pick your interests during onboarding (or update them any time from your dashboard) and CutPrice emails you the moment a match is listed nearby.
