How eBay works in Chile
To search for and buy items with global shipping, delivery to Chile,please follow these simple instructions to get online shopping at eBay working for you.
Buying directly from Chilean eBay sellers;
Not many know this, but there are quite a few eBay sellers that are located within Chile, for cheap shipping of course. Here’s how to check availability.
Step 1. Click here for advanced search on eBay in Chile.
Step 2. Navigate down on that page until “Location” section.
Step 3. In “Location in” choose country as Chile.
Step 4. Search for items amongst local sellers.
Buying from eBay sellers in other regions;
There are other settings too for narrowing down your search. For example, shopping amongst Asian sellers you get competitive pricing in both products and shipping too. Or you can select a range in Kilometers as to which area to cover in your search.
But ultimately, eBay is a global marketplace and works great for Chileans and other South American who wish to access the international market.

eBay Chile in English and Spanish
The way the site works, is that it detects your location depending on the internet connection you are using. And the Spanish language option is only served to those who are located in a Spanish speaking region, such as the Latin America.
This is also the way it directly attempts to calculate shipping costs. If outside of the country, you can however separately set your country in the settings.
There is simply no other way around this restriction. So if you are located in the USA for example, you are stuck with English only.
You can however, use the site to order to Chile even when located in another country. Items can be delivered to cities like Santiago, Puente Alto, Antofagasta, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Talcahuano, San Bernardo, Temuco, Iquique, Concepción, Rancagua, La Pintana and elsewhere of course.
