Selling on BidX, from start to finish

Selling on BidX follows a clear path: you register as a seller, BidX Admin approves you, you add a product, BidX Admin reviews it, and buyers who find it contact you directly.

1. Start with a BidX account

Every seller is first a BidX user. If you already use BidX to buy, you sell with the same account — there is nothing new to create. Sign in, then tap Sell in the bottom navigation, Start Selling in the menu, or Start Selling in the “Sell on BidX” section of the home screen.

2. Register as a Seller

Everyone who sells on BidX registers as a Seller. Registration is free, and your first product listing is free after approval. To keep adding products, choose the Monthly (₦1,500, 30 days) or Annual (₦15,000, 365 days) subscription. See the Seller plans at a glance.

3. Provide your seller information and wait for approval

The seller form asks for your seller or shop name, phone and WhatsApp numbers, and your State and LGA. You can add your current location for “Sellers Near Me” and, optionally, your bank details. BidX Admin reviews your registration; until you are approved, the Add Product button reads “Add Product (After Approval)”.

4. Choose a plan when required

Sellers list their first product free. To add more products, choose the Monthly (₦1,500, valid for 30 days) or Annual (₦15,000, valid for 365 days) subscription. Payments are made securely through Paystack.

5. Add your product and submit it for review

Use Add Product to enter the product name, price, category, product details, location, description and one to five images. Tap Submit Product for Review. Your product shows “Pending Review” until BidX Admin approves it. Weekly new-listing allowances apply to seller accounts.

6. Respond to buyers and manage your listings

Once approved, your product is available on the Marketplace. Buyers contact you by WhatsApp, phone or BidX Messages and you agree the transaction directly with them. Use My Listing to see your products, edit them and mark them as sold out.

Already a seller? You do not need to register again. Each new product follows the same steps: add it, submit it for review and manage it from My Listing.
BIDx Marketplace is live in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa. This guide uses Nigerian examples — prices in Naira (₦), and State and LGA. For other countries, follow the options and requirements shown in BIDx Marketplace for your country.

Why sellers are reviewed

Seller registration gives BidX the information needed to present each seller to buyers, and gives BidX Admin the chance to review sellers before they can list products.

Seller RegistrationYou submit your seller details
ReviewBidX Admin checks the registration
ApprovedSeller status changes to approved
Seller AccessAdd Product is unlocked

What you provide

Your seller or shop name, phone and WhatsApp numbers, State and LGA; optionally your current location and bank details.

The review

BidX Admin reviews every registration. While you wait, the Marketplace shows that your seller application is pending admin approval. Review times can vary — you will see your status change in the Marketplace.

After approval

Your seller status becomes approved and you can add products. Your first product listing is free; after that, a Monthly or Annual subscription lets you keep adding products.

A seller account can be suspended by BidX Admin. Only BidX Admin can change a seller’s status or approve products.
09How to list a product

After approval, tap Add Product. The form is titled “Add New Product”. Fields marked * are required.

10My Listing

All your products in one place

My Listing (shown in the Marketplace as “MY PRODUCTS”) is where sellers see every product they have listed. Open it from the menu under My BidX → My Listings, or with “View My Products” after you submit a product.

Each product appears as a card with its image, name, category, price and status, so you can see at a glance which products are approved, which are still pending review and which are sold out.

What you can do from My Listing

  • Edit Product — update the details of a listing. Edited products go back to Pending Review.
  • Mark as Sold Out — available on approved, active listings once the item has been sold.
13How to manage products

Keep your listings accurate

Buyers rely on what your listing says. These are the tools for keeping it right.

My Listing

Your starting point. See every product you have listed along with its current status.

Edit Product

Opens the same form, titled “Edit Product”. Saving sends the product back to Pending Review.

Product status

Pending — awaiting review. Approved — visible to buyers. Rejected — not approved for the Marketplace.

Mark as Sold Out

Confirm the prompt and the listing stays visible with a “SOLD OUT” badge, so buyers know it is no longer available.

Marking a product Sold Out

  1. Open My ListingMenu → My BidX → My Listings.
  2. Find the productThe option appears on approved, active listings.
  3. Tap “Mark as Sold Out”Confirm the prompt.
