How OwnAgain™ Works
Inspect physically. Enter your handshake code. Own it again. Nigeria's peer-to-peer recommerce marketplace protecting buyers and sellers with secure transaction funds.
Protected Transaction & Handshake Security: 100% of transaction funds remain securely held in your Transaction Box during inspection. The seller receives payment only after you verify the item and enter your 6-digit handshake code.
BUY / DISCOVER
Find Verified Peer-to-Peer Items Nearby
Browse neatly used smartphones, laptops, electronics, and home appliances filtered by State and LGA directly from peer-to-peer sellers across Nigeria. Every listing features authentic, client-compressed actual item photography.
VERIFY
Review Seller Reputation & Condition Previews
Check the seller’s verified phone/email badges, completed transaction count, and short 7s/12s condition preview videos proving the device powers on and functions.
FUND
Protect Funds in Transaction Box
Buyer transaction funds are protected in your OwnAgain™ Transaction Box. The seller does not receive a single kobo until you physically test and approve the asset.
COMMIT & COORDINATE
In-App Order Chat & Safe Meetup Logistics
Coordinate securely in our transaction-bound in-app Order Chat (opened only after transaction funds are committed). Choose Mode A (in-person meetup at a bustling public mall or hub) or Mode B (interstate transit). Early voluntary cancellations prior to meetup incur a nominal ₦1,000 coordination fee; on-site inspection rejections are 100% free with ₦0 fee.
INSPECT
Test the Item Physically in Real-Time
Power on the gadget, test all ports, check battery health, test cameras and speakers. In interstate transit, you have a 96-hour collection window to inspect at the terminal hub under station agent supervision.
HANDSHAKE
Authorize Release with One-Time Handshake Code
Only after 100% satisfaction, the buyer generates the cryptographic 6-digit PIN (or reveals the PIN to the seller once 48-hour interstate testing is complete). Never share the code if dissatisfied.
RELEASE
Instant Payout & Finality Lock
When the seller or agent enters the verified code, transaction funds are instantly and irreversibly released to the seller’s verified NUBAN account. Payout is complete and final.
Mode A: Local In-Person Meetup
For buyers and sellers in the same town. Meet at verified public commercial hubs (e.g., Ikeja City Mall, Banex Plaza Abuja). Test the device physically, then enter the 6-digit handshake OTP.
Mode B: Interstate Fulfillment
For inter-city shipments via self-arranged shipping. Governed by a bilateral 4-point responsibility acknowledgement, a 48-hour testing decision window upon receipt, and single-use Handshake OTP settlement with zero courier liability.
Direct Meetup Selfie & Privacy
Users capture a direct front-camera selfie strictly so buyer and seller can recognize each other easily and safely at the meetup. Your photo is never indexed by Google, never used in promotional advertisements, and never sold.
Clean Provenance & Anti-Theft
OwnAgain has strict zero tolerance for stolen, lost, or encumbered items. Sellers certify lawful ownership under Nigerian law. Listings with original carton, receipt, and charger receive verified provenance badges.
