eBay Dropshipping Spain & Italy: Guide to ebay.es and ebay.it in 2026
How to dropship on eBay Spain (ebay.es) and eBay Italy (ebay.it). Two growing European markets with low competition and high profit potential.
Two European Markets Most Sellers Ignore
Spain and Italy are two of the fastest-growing eBay markets in Europe, yet almost no English-language dropshipping guides cover them. This creates an extraordinary opportunity: low competition, growing buyer bases, and margins that are often higher than the saturated UK market.
eBay Spain (ebay.es) serves over 5 million active buyers, while eBay Italy (ebay.it) has over 7 million. Both markets are growing as more Southern European consumers shift to online shopping.
Spain: eBay.es
Spanish buyers are price-conscious but willing to pay for quality. The most popular categories include electronics accessories, home and garden, fashion, and sports equipment. Shipping from Amazon.es (Amazon Spain) provides 1-2 day domestic delivery.
Spanish VAT is 21%. Listings should ideally be in Spanish — use AI translation tools or hire a native speaker for your top listings. Even basic Spanish titles perform better than English on ebay.es.
Italy: eBay.it
Italy has a strong eBay presence with passionate buyers, particularly in fashion, automotive parts, home decor, and electronics. Italian buyers value detailed product descriptions and professional presentation. Amazon.it provides domestic sourcing with fast delivery.
Italian VAT is 22%. Listings in Italian convert significantly better than English listings. The competition on ebay.it is notably lower than ebay.de or ebay.co.uk.
Multi-Marketplace Strategy
The smartest approach is to list the same products across multiple European marketplaces simultaneously. A product that sells well on ebay.co.uk often sells equally well on ebay.es and ebay.it — but with far less competition. UnicornDS supports all European eBay marketplaces from a single extension, making multi-marketplace selling effortless.
