About xello
Nigeria's trusted marketplace for buying, selling, and swapping anything you need.
Our Mission
xello is on a mission to revolutionize e-commerce in Nigeria by connecting millions of buyers and sellers through a secure, accessible, and community-driven platform. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to participate in the digital economy, whether you're in Lagos or a rural village.
Inspired by the simplicity of Jiji.ng's classifieds and the trust of eBay's auction system, we've built a platform that combines the best of both worlds while adding unique features tailored for Nigerian users.

Our Story
Founded in 2025, xello was born from a simple observation: Nigerian e-commerce needed a platform that truly understood local needs. We saw sellers struggling with fraud, buyers lacking trust, and rural communities excluded from the digital economy.
Our team of Nigerian entrepreneurs and developers set out to build something different. We combined the accessibility of free classified listings with the excitement of live auctions, added innovative features like item swapping and offline sync, and wrapped it all in a mobile-first design.
Today, we're proud to serve thousands of users across Nigeria, from major cities to rural areas, helping them buy, sell, and swap everything from cars to clothes, properties to phones.
