I have seen a significant change in how Spanish consumers are learning competitive bidding and online shopping habits. An impact which we can clearly see on the biggest growing e-commerce platform in Spain — the eBay.es auction site.

eBay.es in English Language
One of the easiest ways to translate the whole eBay.es site to an English version is the web browser Google Chrome. It enables the technology of Google Translation services to make everything automatic. Just open up a page in a language that’s not your default and it will suggest you to convert the website from Spanish to English. Voila, you have an English version of eBay in your hands.
If your Spanish language skills are in need for a brush up, it might be a good opportunity as well. So just think about it!
About eBay in Spain
From all the European countries where the American auctions giant eBay has landed, Spain has probably been the slowest in its development. But it’s clear, that the situation is changing constantly and in a really big way as customers are catching up on the benefits of their service. The most fast adopted addition to the Spanish online shopping sphere has been Amazon Spain to which eBay is still loosing big time in terms of revenue.
Still the Spanish eBay already is and will increasingly be a great success story as no other company is able to come even close. And it already has been established as the meeting place of modern online sellers and auctioneers. Many great products with competitive pricing is already on their shelves by the thousandfold, bringing a long needed element of security along with it.
Alternatives
There is no other company that can match the services of eBay. But there is still a significant population that prefer “old-school” second hand websites. So there are a few in popular use. With little security and no review system it’s a choice for those who are in for the challenge (only in Spanish). Check out segundamano.es or milanuncios.com of which the former is the most popular.
Another website worth mentioning, which in fact has been acquired by eBay itself. An old classifieds website founded in Barcelona known as loquo.com which still has a bit of a buzz going on. Known for apartment rental ads in Spain but also has loads of used goods for sale.
Any questions, concerns about eBay in Spain?
Let me know, I’m happy to help out!
I’m sorry I must sound really stupid, I went into Google Chrome asked for http://www.eBay.es but it all came up in Spanish, where you say “Just open up a page in a language that’s not your default and it will suggest you to convert the website from Spanish to English. Voila, you have an English version of eBay in your hands.” Can you give me a bit more info please. Thankyou
Not at all! This method applies to Google Chrome only. When using that browser, it should ask you if you want to have the page automatically translated after you open ebay.es, it’s really that easy.
It’s also possible with Mozilla Firefox browsers for example, but it requires the install of an add-on to have that feature. Chrome is the easiest.
Carol there is a page Ebay Spain in English Language.
Hoe do I get there? I am on ebay.es and cannot find a way to turn it to english.
Hello David, I put my piano to sell through ebay.es. It’s been there for 10 days and automatically they renew my ads. Meanwhile I found a customer who wants to buy it. Please tell me can I cancel with ebay and how?
To cancel your listing with eBay.es:
(1) Go to Mi eBay (My eBay) –> Ventas (Selling) and find the item you want canceled.
(2) Then from the “Más acciones” (More actions) drop-down menu, select “Finalizar mi anuncio anticipadamente” (End my listing early).
Remember that you need to enter a valid reason to end the listing.
(3) Finally choose “Finalizar mi anuncio” (End my listing).
I want to buy my Grandson an electric sit on car ( Childs battery operated) there are loads on eBay the British site however there are many on the British site, however there are not many on the Spanish site has anyone got any ideas on how to buy a car on the British site and to get it to Lanzarote without it costing an absolute fortune. I have looked on the Spanish part of eBay and they are very few and far between, if there is a cheaper way of transporting it from the UK to Lanzarote I would be very grateful for the help or if anyone has an idea of how much it would cost as this is the only thing he has asked Father Christmas for and I don’t want to see him disappointed on Christmas Day.I would be very grateful if anyone has any idea of either a Spanish site that sells these and would deliver to Lanzarote or an English site that would deliver to Lanzarote at a reasonable rate. If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful and would make this little boys Christmas.
Many thanks Chris
Don’t buy a motorized car for a child. They need the exercise they get from using the muscles needed to ride a bike or trike or scooter. Otherwise their large muscles will not develop in the same way.
Can I log in using my UK account Password
Yes — you should be able to do that.
as l live in Spain l should but l don’t speak enough Spanish for this as l go on it seems that there is no way to translate it to English would be a big help to me and others l know would use it thank you Mr R Raw
Thanks for your question. There is a way and I will do my best to help you find a solution. Most importantly I would need to know which web browser you are using? As I’ve mentioned in this post you will need to be using Chrome, or a browser add-on such as ‘S3.Google Translator‘ for Firefox to to do a live translation of the website.
This will automatically translate most of eBay as you navigate through the pages — and most importantly all the navigation, product, payment and shipping details.
But unfortunately eBay is using an “iframe” on the description of products found at the bottom. Which means that only this part cannot be automatically translated because the text is sourced from another domain. For this you have a couple of solutions.
You can either (1) manually copy, paste the description to Google Translate, (2) in Firefox do a right click over the text and select ‘This Frame‘ –> ‘Open Frame in New Tab‘, or (3) to be able to do the same with Chrome, you would have to install the ‘Open Frame‘ extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Please, let me know if this helped or if you have further questions!
Hi I just found a place on here that does EBay in pain in English. Once you find it, it’s quite easy.

hi david can we buy antibiotics from here as we always buy plenty when we come over to spain.as u no in England u need a prescription

Ebay expanding to Spain is a brilliant move. There’s a lot of products abroad that we could only hope to get from using a site like Ebay. Geolocation software makes it so we can see where exactly our purchases are coming from. Access to apartment ads is a game-changer.

Hi I’m looking for a TV on Spanish eBay because we have a place out there,the price for new electrical stuff is expensive . How do I go about it
Hi Kev, you can find ads ( a small amount) in the Levante News. Also, sometimes there’s a weekly paper of ads out in the Valencia area.
Ebay does not stand by its buyers guarantee and are prejudice in favour of the seller to the point of helping them defrauding
Their customer

Why has my parcel gone back to England?
I lived in Spain for 18 years and had an Ebay (Spain) account. I now live in UK for 5 years and have a UK account. I am having so many problems with Ebay Spain as I have asked them many times to cancel and delete my Spanish account. This has not been done and as I have forgotten my Ebay Spain password I can not get into my account. How do I contact Ebay Spain Customer help? (Preferably in English !!! )

Am I correct in believing that using eBay es. is the way to avoid import tax on items (mobility scooter batteries) sent from the UK?
Doesn’t matter which eBay, if the eBay store is in the UK, you’ll be subject to tax.
