Top 7 Mistakes to Avoid When Selling Apple Gift Cards in Nigeria and Ghana.
Apple gift cards are among Nigeria and Ghana's most traded gift cards. But while selling them might seem easy, many people unknowingly fall into traps that cost them money, delay their payments, or lead to a complete loss of value.
If you plan to sell an Apple gift card and want the best rate, fastest payout, and zero stress, then you must avoid these common but costly mistakes.
In this guide, I will break down the top mistakes and show you how to trade safely on the Apex Network—the best platform for gift card trading in Nigeria and Ghana.
1. Not Keeping the Apple Gift Card Safe Before Loading
A common but dangerous mistake is scratching or exposing your gift card code too early, especially before you are ready to trade. Some users even share their card pictures on WhatsApp or social media, which puts them at risk of being hacked or redeemed by scammers.
Solution: Keep your Apple gift card sealed and private until you are ready to sell. Never scratch or upload the card image until you are on a secure platform like Apex Network
2. Uploading Blurry or Incomplete Card Images
Some users upload images where the card code is not visible or the receipt is half-cut. This delays verification or leads to outright rejection.
Solution: Ensure your Apple gift card photo is clear, complete, and well-lit. If you have a receipt (especially a cash receipt), please upload it clearly — it may even help improve your rate.
3. Using WhatsApp Traders or Random Telegram Channels
Thousands of people lose their Apple gift cards to online scammers on WhatsApp and Telegram weekly. These traders promise “best rates” but disappear after collecting your card.
Solution: Never send your card to random individuals. Use a trusted platform like the Apex Network, where every trade is recorded, and payments are processed securely.
4. Not Checking the Current Apple Gift Card Rate
Rates for Apple gift cards change based on demand and card type (e.g., U.S. vs. U.K., cash receipt vs. debit). Many sellers lose money because they don’t check the rate before trading.
Solution: Always visit the Apex Network website or open the app to view the real-time rates for Apple gift cards in Naira or Cedis.
5. Choosing the Wrong Payout Country
On the Apex Network, users must choose whether to pay in Nigerian Naira (NGN) or Ghanaian Cedi (GHS). Your withdrawal will not be delayed, and the equivalent amount will be credited to your Apex wallet.
Solution: Before submitting your trade, double-check that you selected the correct payout wallet: Nigeria or Ghana.
6. Falling for Fake Payment Proofs
One of the oldest tricks in the book is the scammer who sends a payment alert that never arrives.
They will send you a screenshot or fake bank transactions that look real, and if you are not careful, you might believe the money is in your account.
Solution: Always confirm payments directly through your bank's mobile app or via SMS alert, and trade on reliable platforms like the Apex Network
7. Not using a Trusted Platform Like The Apex Network
This is the most crucial mistake. Using shady apps or small platforms increases your chances of poor rates, payment delays, or total loss.
Solution: Utilise the Apex Network, the most reliable gift card platform, supported by both app and website. You get fast payment, transparency, and control over gift card transactions.
