About Orderbook Africa
Orderbook Africa is a classifieds marketplace for Zimbabwe. People and businesses post ads for what they are selling or looking for, from cars and houses to phones, furniture, jobs and services. Buyers browse by category and area, then contact the seller directly.
Where the name comes from
An order book is a list with two sides: what people are offering, and what people want. That is how this site works. You can post an ad for something you are selling, or a wanted ad for something you are trying to find, and both sit in the same book for everyone to search.
How it works
- Posting an ad is free. Add photos, a price and a description, and your ad is live for 30 days. You can renew it when it runs out.
- Prices are in US dollars, with ZiG alongside. Sellers set a price in US dollars. Buyers can switch the whole site to ZiG, worked out from an exchange rate we keep up to date.
- Buyers and sellers talk to each other. Every ad has the seller's phone number, WhatsApp or an email form. We do not sit in the middle of the conversation.
- Promotion is optional. Sellers who want more views can make an ad Silver or Gold using points bought through their wallet. Standard ads stay free.
- Businesses get a page of their own. The business directory lists shops, dealers and service providers, each with a storefront showing all their ads.
What we do not do
We do not take payment for the things advertised, hold money, deliver goods or inspect items. A deal is between the buyer and the seller. We also cannot check every ad before it goes live, so please read the safety tips before you pay for anything, and use the report button on an ad that looks wrong.
