Common questions.
How does escrow work across borders?+
Funds are held in regional custody accounts (NGN in Lagos, EUR in Frankfurt, GBP in London) and only released once the buyer confirms physical receipt and condition of the lot.
What stops shill bidding?+
Every bidder over $500 completes biometric KYC. Our anti-collusion engine flags bid patterns in real time and voids suspicious activity before settlement.
What commission does AfriKraf charge?+
Standard vendors pay 8% on sale. Verified Premium vendors pay 5% plus a flat monthly subscription. No listing fees on standard lots.
Can I bid from anywhere?+
Yes. We support 47 countries with multi-currency settlement in NGN, USD, EUR, GBP, and KES. Mobile bidding works on any device.
