get the French pages in Spain!

Summary: jacblan56 is having trouble accessing eBay.fr in French from Spain and is asking for help. Several participants suggest solutions: changing browsers, creating an account with an address in Spain, using a VPN to connect from France, or adjusting the Google address. red71-2011 also suggests using eBay.com and contacting customer service if the other solutions fail. jacblan56 seems resigned to avoiding checking eBay while abroad.

Bonjour, IMPOSSIBLE, impossible to get ebay.fr while I'm in Spain, I've tried everything, I'm redirected to the Spanish pages where I don't understand everything, the French pages are translated into Spanish, I've tried EVERYTHING to get out of there, it's unbelievable, can you tell me how I can view ebay.fr in French when I'm in Spain ????
THANK YOU in advance. Very cordially

Hello,

If you have a VPN, set it to France.

That might help. Changing browser could be a good idea (as Frelon suggests).

Tor is a good alternative, or Explorer or Chrome, but not Fox. Depending on how old your PC is, Mozilla Firefox will cause you problems because it only works with recent Windows versions.

Also change your Google address. Not the email, but the account address.

Mine is in Switzerland, for example, which lets me get more results in searches, especially when I'm looking for a media outlet on a dedicated site. It can work on EBAY.

On the other hand, if you live in Spain and your main delivery address is in Spain, you'll only receive offers from Spain. So add a secondary address in France and set it as the main address. You'll need to give the seller the correct address before paying for your purchases so they can recalculate the shipping costs and, above all, send the package to the right address.

Last option, try Ebay.com

After that, I don't really see much else. It's already not bad, with the ideas from the other contributors otherwise, contact customer service as a last resort

Hello, perhaps you do not have a valid account for the region: international (?)

It seemed to me that in the search bar, you can type in several languages, it works. But my account is linked to a valid international account. Which also makes it possible to see - unless I’m mistaken - items not shipped to the requester’s region.

I admit that this is a bit unclear.

Kind regards.
