Kaymu announces zero commission for sellers across Africa
Kaymu, the leading online marketplace for emerging markets, today announces that it will charge sellers zero commission in over 50% of the countries where it is active, namely Algeria, Angola, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Morocco, Tunisia, Zambia and Mozambique.
This is part of Kaymu’s ongoing commitment to making selling on the platform as easy and convenient as possible. By connecting sellers directly with buyers, Kaymu removes the costs associated with a physical retail space and enables individuals as well as small businesses to sell their products online. Moreover, the online platform allows users to extend their reach and target thousands of potential customers across the country.
Buyers, on the other hand, benefit from the lowest prices on the market, fast delivery (typically within 2-4 days) and a safe and easy “Pay on local pickup” payment system. A transparent rating system and dedicated team of community guardians who find and remove potentially dishonest sellers ensures that they can always find trustworthy sellers.
Elias Schulze, CEO for Kaymu Africa, commented: “We want to encourage as many people as possible to sell on Kaymu. Our zero commission policy means that sellers in these nine African countries can keep 100% of the money they make from their sales, making Kaymu an easy way for them to boost their income.”
Kaymu is now present in over twenty-five countries across Africa and Asia. With a recently-launched mobile application as well as a user-friendly website, it aims to become the number one online shopping community for buyers and sellers worldwide.
This unique promotion is expected to last until early 2015 and may be extended further in select markets.
