Be careful when selling online
Sandile issued a warning about selling online. Sandile's posted a few For Sale ads on OLX and has been getting emails from Nigerians claiming to be overseas and wanting you to ship out your phone or whatever you're selling to Nigeria. They claim they're going to pay you once the shipment is done but they don't. DO NOT FALL FOR THIS.
