ORIGINAL POSTERHi guys just wondering if there are any shopping platforms in Thailand available?
Obviously Ebay is not available, right? What's your alternative?
Cheers Steve

TLDR : Answer Summary
The thread discusses various online shopping platforms available in Thailand as alternatives to eBay. The most mentioned platforms include Lazada and Shopee, which are popular for their convenience and variety of products. Other suggestions include Facebook Marketplace for second-hand items and Aliexpress for cheaper goods from China. Some users also mention that eBay is accessible in Thailand despite some misconceptions.

he can buy from eBay. I do all the time. Thai EBay accounts in Thailand were shifted to .com accounts or other countries depending on eBay criteria.. Lots of Thai sellers exist.. and many sellers will ship to Thailand free if charge as well. So educate yourself. On eBay since 2003.Reply to

Gret recommendations... I use the first 2 options often. They both offer money back guarantee and very fast delivery when Seller originates from Thailand, so you can order with confidence. Happy shopping !Reply to

i dont understand why you say ebay doesn't work. i use ebay a lot since the things i buy for what i want can be found there mainly. never had problem not with buying and not with packages arriving to me

Shopee. Free shipping

eBay does work, and sone products have prestated shipping and customs, like Amazon. Try Amazon UK, sometimes shipping cheaper than UA site. Lazada China items usually arrive in 2-3 weeks, but AliExpress can takes months; small items seem to arrive by ship, which takes forever.

Shoppee has a consumer guarantee, we use it all the time

Lazada suddenly went crazy this last week. Before really good. Now saying something about account irregularities?
Daniel **********
Indeed there is eBay Thailand.
Jeffrey ************
I always use Lazada. Good app in English and cash on delivery.

I order from ebay all the time...shipping can be expensive sometimes, but it works for me. Also, Aliexpress is good, but it's most often cheaper Chinese goods...

Stuart *********
For second hand stuff Facebook marketplace or
*************************
Stuart *********
Lazada or Shoppee are the biggest here.

When browsing for items check where the item is located. Many things on sale are sent from China and (currently) will take 3-4 weeks or more to arrive. Both platforms have a filter for “local” which means the item is physically in Thailand already.

Thanks that's really helpful 👍🏻Lisandro *******
@Steve ********
He already gave you the best advise, plus you can buy in Amazon US and receive it here -paying taxes- in case you're not finding the items you want.Little bit expensive, but works very good.
Also you can buy from AliExpress. Goods would take around 15 days/one month to arrive.
Stuart *********
@Lisandro ******
Amazon pre-calculate the import duty and customs charge and add that on to the price. In the event that those charges are cheaper they do actually refund you the difference.Lisandro *******
@Stuart ********
Have ordered already from Amazon, that's the reason I'm suggesting.It's not cheap, despite procedure.

I realised I replied to the wrong person. Whoops. Sorry.Reply to
