What export does Nigeria specialize?
Nigeria's largest economic sector is oil production. The country relies heavily on fossil fuel production, so much so that it is often considered a classic example of the "resource curse". 25% of the economy is devoted to agriculture, and Nigeria is the largest producer of agricultural goods in Africa. Nigeria is also the fourth-largest manufacturer in Africa, mostly working in light industry. There is a growing banking sector, although restrictive central bank policy means that a significant fraction of banking activity takes place in the shadow economy.
What does Japan trade with Canada?
U.S., China, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Australia, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Canada
In previous decades, China has always been one of the key trading partners with Japan because of their close geographic relationship. This has also been a topic of much controversy, because rivalry between the two countries has existed since ancient times. Japan's main imports from China are machinery and equipment, fossil fuels, and foodstuffs (beef). As of 2008 Japan imports more goods from China than any other country. At a symposium in East China in 2006, the two nations agreed they should invest in further trade opportunities in the future, particularly in environmental protection and saving energy[1].

How can the Chinese ship things for so cheap?
Good question. We live in an increasingly connected world.
eBAY fully supports sellers from China & Hong Kong.
In 2010 transactions from China mainland + HK amounted to $4billion USD.
That kind of volume gives eBAY and their China based sellers leverage.
It allows eBAY to cut deals with the U.S. Postal Service and China Post (China equivalent of the USPS) to allow qualified sellers to offer free shipping from mainland China.
Hope this helps.

That does not really answer the question; and it's not really anything to do with e-Bay. The Chinese can undercut nearly everyone else because they have built a strong mass-manufacturing economy with wage levels adequate (but hardly generous) for themselves, but very low compared to Western levels. Consequently their products are comparatively far cheaper in the West, than if made in those Western nations. Companies like e-Bay are merely capitalising on the situation.
