| Welcome to CostaBargain, Costa Blanca's very own online marketplace.
We welcome you to register and give our online marketplace a try. Trying out the system is completely free. We'll give you 15 Euros credit upon registration, to use against all of our fees. You can place a test listing to give you the opportunity to familiarise yourself with the listing process (to avoid any confusion, ensure you place the words "Test Listing" in the item title), or you can of course use your free selling credit to list items for real.
Why not open a CostaBargain store? You can make it unique by adding your own categories, changing the colours and number of recently listed/ending soon auctions, to name just a few of customisations available.
From time to time we'll be displaying voucher codes on the site. You can use these codes to reduce your selling fees.
Because CostaBargain is primarily designed for the people of the Costa Blanca and surrounding areas, you as a seller or a buyer have the option of dealing face to face with your transactions (assuming distances are favourable), thereby eliminating any payment provider's commission fees and the sometimes unreliable Spanish postage issues.
Should you wish to deal with your transaction in the usual way, our system fully incorporates direct payment using PayPal - upon the successful conclusion of the auction the buyer will be given the option to proceed to PayPal's secure site, where they will be prompted to pay for your item, including any shipping charges that may be applicable. You will receive notification from us that your auction has come to a successful end and you will receive confirmation from PayPal that the buyer has paid for the item. You can then swiftly dispatch the item to the buyer. Its quick, its easy and more importantly, its secure.
For help with opening a PayPal account in Spain that is always displayed in English, please refer to our step-by-step guide in our Help Section
In addition to the direct payment feature, we can offer help and advice on alternative postage methods such as Offex. Offex is a fresh alternative to Spain's regular postal system, providing convenient drop-off and pick-up points all over the Costa Blanca, Costa Calida and Costa del Sol.
The CostaBargain team has staff and members in the UK and in the CostaBlanca. Should you require any help or assistance please don't hesitate to contact us via the Contact Us |
