The two cheapest online shopping mall or store am going to be concentrating on in the course of this writeup are

Aliexpress Online ShoppingStore and Jumia Online Shopping Store
Though there are other shopping malls that may be even cheaper than Aliexpress and Jumia but am writing on this two because I have tested, used and bought many products from them and many people also have patronized and bought goods from them through me or my advice.

Gone are the days of cheap scamming, frauding are duping of people through online means; nowadays, there are much secured payment systems and options adopted by these big and reputable online stores. For example, Aliexpress makes use of the escrow system of online payment and jumia even extended theirs by giving potential buyers an option to pay any product they order online on delivery. I will explain more on this.

How Do I Search and Order For A Product?
I will be telling you from experience, anytime you want to order or buy a product from Aliexpress, please write down or note that product you want to buy because you might be overwhelmed at the sight of many tempting products with very cheap prices placed on them. I was once a victim of this though, it was a blessing in disguise for me. I wanted to buy an external hard drive but in the course of searching for the hard drive, I stumbled at a very cheap 64GB SD card (N1500) and I immediately ordered about 24 pieces of it; forfeiting the drive I intended to buy initially. So, unless you are open to buy anything you see, I suggest you write and stick to that important product you want to purchase.

How Do I Order Or Buy A Product From Aliexpress?
Ordering for a product is not a big deal because the Aliexpress website is as user friendly as Jumia and Konga websites. Once you have seen the product(s) you want to buy, contact the seller through the contacts Details provided in the page the product was displayed.

How Do I Know A Credible Seller?
Aliexpress made it very easy and simple for all parties. Every seller at Aliexpress has a feedback and ranking status. Before you pay for a product, it's highly recommended you check the feedback the seller receives on that particular product. These feedback are messages people that previously bought the product write to either commend or criticize the seller. So it will give you the true picture of how credible the seller of that product is.
Another method of checking the credibility of the seller is checking the ranking. Each seller is ranked and a 96% to 100% ranking is perfect to do business with the seller.

Which Payment System Is Required To Buy Products From Aliexpress?
You can easily buy products with your credit cards. Some of the accepted ones are Guarantee Trust Bank (GTB) card UBA master card and others.

How Secured Is My Transaction At Aliexpress?
Aliexpress uses one of the safest methods of online transaction in the form of Escrow system of payment. This system means that your money won't get to the seller until you have received your products and confirmed its in good condition as you saw online. Once you have confirmed it, your money will now be released to the seller. Remember, you can reject and send back the product if it is not exactly what you saw online. So you see, its a customer friendly and very secured online store if you follow the right steps.

How Do I Get The Products I Ordered In Aliexpress To My Country?
Like I earlier said, Aliexpress is a Chinese online store meaning that your goods will have to be shipped to your country through shipping companies like DHL and others.
However, most of the products sold in Aliexpress are shipped free of charge while others are shipped and cost of shipping is measured with the weight (weight) of the product you bought. The truth is that, goods that are freely shipped take a little more time to get to the buyer.

What is Jumia Store?
Jumia is one of the top recognized online shopping store that offers unbeatable price for numerous products at their online store.

What Products Are Available At Jumia Online Store?
Just like Aliexpress, jumia has a wide range of consumer electronics, wearable, office products, kitchen appliances and name it. Checkout Jumia's website to see all the nice products available and their unbeatable price here Jumia Website

How To Buy Products On Jumia
Buying things on Jumia is extremely easy once you have your ATM card. You can either buy through the jumia website provided above or buy through Adverts of numerous products from Jumia

How Do I Get The Product I Bought From Jumia?
Jumia is the most customer friendly online store for Nigerians and other African countries. This is because, they give their customers option to pay for the products they  ordered on delivery and you can see that this is exactly what most people want especially those that are skeptical about security in online transactions. So with this, you don't have to be scared as you only pay for the product only when it gets delivered to you. Nice!
Payments on delivery is one of the selling point of Jumia. It makes them more reliable and trusted by the masses.

Having said that, from my experience in online transactions, I will boldly say that I prefer buying goods online than walking from one shop to the other in search of a product.
Like in Aliexpress, I have done some importation of many products like Mobile phones, phone accessories, computer accessories and A4 typing and photocopying paper at a very cheaper price and resold them here in Nigeria, making useful gain from it.
Also my current phone and Plasma TV was bought from Jumia and so far, they are serving me well.

In conclusion, very soon, let me say in the next 2 years, 6 out of every 10 individuals will comfortably start buying stuffs online.
