Which shops accept PayPal in Zimbabwe?

Oct. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- ZimSeller ( http://www.zimseller.com), the largest Zimbabwean online supermarket prides itself in offering good quality products to the consumer. ZimSeller is probably the only shop that offers door-to-door grocery delivery service in Zimbabwe. It also appears as if ZimSeller.com is the only shop in Zimbabwe which accepts Paypal.


ZimSeller believes that technology can be harnessed to bring goods and services even to the remotest villages in Africa. Currently ZimSeller makes deliveries to all parts of Zimbabwe and ships to most parts of the world. This is why the online shop is committed to delivering orders anywhere in Zimbabwe and indeed anywhere in the world.

History

When the online shop launched in 2007, there was a massive shortage of basic commodities in Zimbabwe and the shelves of the major supermarkets like OK, TM, Spar, Foodworld were all empty. ZimSeller’s strategy was to help families get the food they needed by importing foodstuffs from neighboring South Africa. Since the introduction of a multi-currency system in Zimbabwe, food shortage is a thing of the past and the supermarkets are full again. In response, ZimSeller has evolved to focus on developing a technological platform that allows people to place orders for delivery in Zimbabwe or anywhere in the world. At the moment, ZimSeller has more than 8000 registered customers, an annual turnover of $150,000 and continues to grow.

Markets

ZimSeller has two distinct markets, namely;
1.   Zimbabwean    domestic market
2.   International market (worldwide).

ZimSeller customers are typically, people from countries where Paypal is available as a payment option such as European countries, USA, Canada, and Australia. These people are able to place an order online on the ZimSeller website for shipping to their respective countries or for delivery to their friends or families in Zimbabwe. Those who buy food for delivery in Zimbabwe are almost invariably Zimbabwean citizens living and working in the Diaspora.

Product Range

ZimSeller has plans to expand its products and services offering to include airtime, smart phones and book readers such as the iPad and the Samsung Galaxy.

Payment Options
ZimSeller.com accepts Paypal, a completely reliable, safe and secure online payment option. Although Paypal is not officially in Zimbabwe yet, ZimSeller.com is able to offer this payment service because it has operations in the UK and South Africa where Paypal is available.
