The Best Marketplaces for Online Sales in Spain

Spain is not exactly a market easily influenced by trends, as has been characterized throughout the last decade, and this may be influenced in some way by the comfort that users and sellers have found in the well-known Marketplace, a type of e-commerce or online sales website similar to a virtual shopping center where there is a large number of products on a single page.

These types of sites manage to attract a large amount of traffic and achieve sales more easily than a online store individual, although its main disadvantages are usually related to shipping time and customer service, which is often slow due to the high volume of users.

Did you know that technically there are two types of Marketplace for online sales?

  • The first of these is known as Horizontal Marketplace, a term that encompasses all those sites that market all types of products.
  • The second one is the Vertical Marketplace, basically a type of site focused on a specific category of products, such as ManoMano, which sells construction and gardening items, or Etsy, which sells vintage or collectible items.

Here at The Cloud Group, we've compiled a short list of the best marketplace websites in Spain, including some that cover the entire continent and even parts of the world. Let's get started:

Most likely, if you've ever tried to buy online, you've come across this global giant with $72 million in revenue.

Available both on Apps and on the web, covering target audiences in their B2B and B2C categories respectively for Alibaba and AliExpress, making it more profitable if we want to acquire several units of the same product on Alibaba, which in turn bears the direct name of its main Chinese group: Alibaba Group.

It has managed to position itself, thanks to its founder - one of the richest men in China known as Jack Ma - as one of the most important and largest marketplaces, so it is clear that Spain has not been the exception.

Marketplace

This is possibly one of the first Marketplaces to appear in Spain under the auction or buying and selling model, and has been a horizontal Marketplace for 25 years, incorporating items such as fashion, beauty, decoration, collectibles, sports, games, among many others, including some refurbished items.

This marketplace is undoubtedly known by many people, even though its origin dates back to 1940 and it primarily uses a face-to-face sales model.

However, for some years now, its entry into the digital age has brought it such lucrative sales as...

This marketplace of French origin belongs to the Fnac Darty group and has locations in Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, France and of course Spain, where it has initially managed to position the trade of books and CDs to technology, toys, stationery, among others.

Their sales model requires direct contact with the company if you want to buy something.

Marketplace

A marketplace with both physical and digital presence where various manufacturers market their products, including technology, health, garden, decoration items and much more.

Its growth has occurred mainly in Portugal, its country of origin, but it has been very well received in Spain.

In 2013, Wallapop was launched here in Spain, using a method similar to Mil Anuncios, allowing any user to not only buy but also sell thousands of products located near them. It is commonly used because of the trust it inspires in users, as they cannot see or touch the products until after the purchase is complete.
