What is YeboNa?

YeboNa connects African traders with Chinese suppliers:

• Find verified suppliers
• Negotiate prices
• Pay with escrow protection
• Track shipments
• Auto-list when inventory arrives

"Na" = "and" in Swahili. Yebo + China = YeboNa.

The Problem

Sourcing from China is risky:

• Scam suppliers (take money, disappear)
• Quality issues (photos don't match reality)
• Payment complexity (bank transfers, forex)
• Shipping confusion (customs, tracking)
