Reply:with all the online fraud coming out of africa i just wouldnt trust any website that is from there, i would only buy from a website of a company i knew is based here and is a real business
Reply:My suggestion would be to first sign up with BBB on line site. This will qualify you has a safe place many people are still skeptical to buy on line and this will ease many fears. As for product something unique that other sites don't have will give you an edge and low prices also depending on your targeted clientele. Good luck Chris

Reply:Baskets are always nice,beaded work, mask, spears, and carved items..all sell well.Sometimes hand woven material from there and jewelry items.The weapons allways sell pretty good and there is a huge following of mask.. good luck to you on your endevor
Reply:For women: jewelry. If I were to buy something I would look for interesting, unique and beautifl bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc. Furniture is also a good idea. Decorations for parties.
Reply:Interesting looking masks.





Possibly some unique food-products,.....African peppers, sausages (with goat-intestine casings) etc

Reply:I really like stories of microfinance in African countries.





There is a great story here in Australia - if you google adopt a sheep, you will find a blog spot where you can adopt sheep and help farmers of Australia feed their sheep during the worst drought of Australia - it may inspire you to assist people in Africa to do a similar thing. (Yes I know it sounds a bit like World Vision - but it is not adopt a child)





I would be reluctant to buy something from an African web site.





If it was a local based web site - jewellery maybe?
