OLX’s new solution boosts sales on platform

OLX has introduced a new feature on the platform called Do it for Me (D.I.F.M), to address the needs of users who have no time to post and meet with potential buyers.

OLX said the new solution help make selling more convenient, quicker and safer than ever.

Narrating the experience of a user, Akachi Wosu, a staff of FIRS Lagos, OLX said Wosu recently sold his car on the platform using the D.I.F.M service and had successfully used the platform for the past two years to buy items, but it never occurred to him to sell his car on the site until he had made several unsuccessful attempts trying to sell it through personal contacts and his mechanic. “I had decided to take it off the market before my wife insisted that we book an OLX Champ for assistance”.

According to the platform, Wosu added that he was a bit skeptical, but contacted the Champ who assisted him in not only posting the car on the site, but also suggested the best price to sell his vehicle. ‘Within 24 hours after the ad went live, the Champ informed me that he had a serious buyer and the deal was completed in a matter of hours’.

OLX disclosed that Wosu said his experience with the Champ was seamless, and commended OLX on being innovative and meeting the needs of busy executives like himself who are concerned about their safety and don’t have time to take calls from buyers.
