Online shopping in Lusaka shouldn't be a gamble.

ZedVault brings independent sellers together in one marketplace, with verified vendors, quality checks, and coordinated delivery.

  • Shop before the public opening
  • Free first delivery
  • Move up by sharing

Sell online. Never chase payments.

Buyers pay before you hand anything over. We check, pack and deliver, and 80% of each sale is yours once payment is confirmed.

See how it works

10% for the first 20 sellers to sign, then 12.5%.

Put right if it arrives wrong

Everyone in Lusaka has a story like this.

Buying and selling online here runs on trust between strangers. Both sides keep getting burned, and both sides end up a little more careful, a little more tired, a little less likely to try again.

When you buy

  • Money sent to a stranger, then silence.
  • The photo was nicer than what arrived.
  • No receipt, no refund, nobody to call.

When you sell

  • Hours lost answering "how much?"
  • Buyers who won't pay first because you're a stranger.
  • Deliveries that end with nobody picking up.

The problem isn't you. It's that nobody stands in the middle.

So ZedVault stands in the middle.

One marketplace for Lusaka's independent sellers. Buyers pay us, sellers hand their items to us, and we check every one before it travels. Nobody has to trust a stranger again.

  1. Sellers are checked first

    Every shop is approved before it opens, and every seller passes an identity check before they are paid.

  2. You pay ZedVault, not a stranger

    The seller sees the payment is real before handing anything over. Your money never goes to an unknown number.

  3. Every item is inspected

    Our team compares it with its photo and description. Damaged, wrong or not as described never goes out.

  4. Delivered and tracked

    Follow each step to your door. If something is still wrong, we replace it or refund you.

Is the letter of intent a contract?
