Manunuzi

Ununuzi mtandaoni Ethiopia bado ni mchanga, kwa hiyo kwa vitu vingi njia rahisi ni kwenda kwenye duka kubwa (mall) au duka. Kwa maagizo ya mtandaoni, chaguo salama zaidi ni Zemen Gebeya ndani ya programu ya telebirr, inayoendeshwa na kampuni ya serikali Ethio Telecom. Tovuti za matangazo kama Jiji pia zinafanya kazi, lakini usilipe kamwe kabla hujashika bidhaa mkononi.

Kujadiliana bei na kulipa
