I've done quite some shopping at Amazon.com and do get most of my items shipped to Nigeria via DHL.

I just thought I should do this write-up for people who have asked questions on payment options available for residents of Nigeria when shopping at online US stores like Amazon.com.

Payment options you can use on Amazon.com
- US dollar Debit cards (Mastercard or Visa)
- Amazon gift cards

Where to get a Mastercard or Visa for online shopping
You can get it at most Nigerian banks. Just request for a card denominated in US dollars. I mostly prefer using the Non personalized card since it is always ready for pickup and no need for opening a foreign currency account.
I prefer using Access bank prepaid Visa card or Zenith bank buxz Visa card.
With about $150, you can get a Visa or Mastercard in Nigeria.

3 things needed
So here are 3 things you would mostly need when shopping from Amazon from Nigeria

- A US shipping address
- A Mastercard or Visa (USD)
- An Amazon.com account
