Second-hand marketplaces in Europe, country by country

5 minute read Editorial team

Every European country has its own second-hand sites, and the most useful ones often aren't the ones you already know. Whether you live abroad, are hunting for something hard to find or want to compare prices across borders, here's a map of the main marketplaces, with the buyer protection we checked on their official pages.

Italy

  • Subito: listings of every kind from private and business sellers, often collected in person. On listings with delivery you can pay with TuttoSubito: the seller only gets the money after delivery, and its purchase protection refunds you if the parcel doesn't arrive or doesn't match the listing.
  • eBay: auctions and fixed prices, private sellers and shops, strong on electronics, collectibles and spare parts. The eBay Money Back Guarantee covers most purchases paid for on eBay if the item doesn't arrive or isn't as described.
  • Vinted: started with clothing and now also covers home, kids, books and electronics. Buyer Protection applies to purchases made with the "Buy now" button: you have 2 days from the delivery notification to report a problem.
  • Wallapop: buying and selling between individuals, in person or with delivery through the app. With Wallapop Protection your money is held for 48 hours after delivery, giving you time to check the item and ask for a refund if it doesn't match the description.
  • Mercatino dell'Usato: a network of physical shops that take in and resell selected second-hand items. Ideal if you want to see the item in person at a store.

France

  • Leboncoin: a general classifieds site with private and business sellers in every category. With the Transaction sécurisée your payment is protected until you receive the item and you can be refunded if there's a problem. It works for both delivery and in-person handover: in that case you check the item at the meeting and confirm the payment in the app.
  • Vinted and eBay: they work as in Italy, on their French sites and with the same protection.

Germany

  • Kleinanzeigen: a classifieds site for private sellers, formerly eBay Kleinanzeigen, where many items are collected in person and prices are often negotiable. With Sicher bezahlen your money is held safely until you receive the goods; its buyer protection applies if the item isn't sent or is significantly different from the description, fake, wrong or incomplete. Delivery with this option only works within Germany.
  • eBay and Vinted: available on their German sites with the same protection.
  • Quoka: a free classifieds site with private listings in every category.
  • reBuy: an online shop that buys electronics, books, films and video games from individuals, checks them and resells them. Its website states a 3-year warranty on electronics and 21 days to withdraw from a purchase.

Austria

  • willhaben: an Austrian classifieds site with private sellers and shops. Its payment and delivery service, PayLivery, includes parcel tracking and buyer protection; otherwise willhaben advises seeing the item and paying on collection.
  • Shpock: a classifieds app designed for buying and selling close to home.

Spain

  • Wallapop: born in Spain, used both for in-person deals and for delivery, with the same 48-hour protection.
  • Vinted: fashion, kids and home, with Buyer Protection.
  • Todocoleccion: a marketplace for collectors, from antiques to books, art, coins and vintage toys, at fixed prices or at auction. The site offers its own secure payment system, "Pago tc".
  • Cash Converters: a chain of shops that buys second-hand goods from individuals and resells them, online too. Its website states a 3-year warranty on all purchases, plus checks on provenance and on whether items work.
  • Micolet: an online second-hand fashion shop that selects and resells clothes. According to its website, you have 14 days to return your order.

Portugal

  • OLX: general classifieds between individuals. With Entregas OLX the seller can send the item through CTT, including cash on delivery.
  • CustoJusto: a classifieds site with private and business sellers in every category.
  • Wallapop: also available in Portugal, with a Portuguese-language site.

Netherlands

  • Marktplaats: a Dutch classifieds site where you'll find everything from electronics to bikes, and where many sellers accept offers. Kopersbescherming (buyer protection) normally applies to delivery through Marktplaats: the payment is held by an independent intermediary and you have 48 hours after delivery to check the item. Some categories and Pro listings are excluded.

Belgium

  • 2dehands / 2ememain: the same classifieds site in Dutch (2dehands) and French (2ememain), from the same group as Marktplaats. Useful for finding listings from private sellers all over Belgium.

Poland

  • OLX: a general classifieds site. OLX advises using its own delivery, with the "Kup z Przesyłką" button only on the listing page on olx.pl, or collecting in person, and not clicking outside payment links.
  • Allegro Lokalnie: Allegro's local listings, using the same account as allegro.pl. Its home page lists Allegro's buyer protection (Allegro Ochrona Kupujących) among its benefits: read the conditions before paying.
  • Sprzedajemy: free listings from individuals and businesses in every category.
  • Vinted: available here too, for fashion, kids and home.

Ireland

  • DoneDeal: listings for cars, but also furniture, electronics and much more. Its Safety Centre warns about fake bank transfers, fake couriers and fake vehicle history check websites.
  • Adverts.ie: another Irish classifieds site, with lots of second-hand items sold by private individuals.

Rules that apply everywhere

  • Always pay through the platform if it has a payment system: its protection only applies there.
  • Keep the conversation in the official chat.
  • When you buy from a business in the EU you have more rights than with a private seller: check who's selling.
  • For purchases from abroad, check that delivery is available and how much it costs.

Opening ten sites in five languages takes time. With Rovista you search many of these marketplaces in one go, see only second-hand listings and complete the purchase on the original site, with its protection. Try, for example, searching for a road bike. With the Base plan you can turn on alerts for your saved searches and get an email, a notification or a Telegram message when a new listing appears: the details are on the pricing page.
