Wallapop is not available in Argentina. It is a Spanish second-hand marketplace app that only operates in Spain, Portugal and Italy, and its shipping system (Wallapop Envíos) works only within those countries.
Even so, buying on Wallapop from Argentina is perfectly possible if you have an address in Spain that receives the parcel and forwards it to you. It is the same circuit already used to buy on Vinted from Argentina.
Which countries Wallapop works in
Wallapop operates in Spain, Portugal and Italy. It has no Argentine version and no public plans to launch one. If you look for something similar in Argentina, the local market is split between Mercado Libre and buy-and-sell groups, but you will not find the Spanish catalogue, which is exactly what people usually want: branded clothing, collectibles, spare parts and discontinued items at second-hand prices.
What to buy on Wallapop (and why it pays off)
Wallapop is a peer-to-peer marketplace, so the catalogue is huge and varied. What pays off most to bring to Argentina:
- Branded clothing and sneakers at second-hand prices (Zara, Nike, Adidas, Levi's).
- Collectibles: comics, cards, figures, vinyl and retro video games that are hard to find.
- Electronics and photography: phones, cameras, lenses and consoles, often discontinued.
- Spare parts for cars, bikes and appliances that are no longer made.
How to buy on Wallapop from Argentina
- Get your address in Spain with your locker.
- Register on Wallapop with that address.
- Buy and ask the seller to use Wallapop Envíos to the address we gave you.
- We receive the parcel, consolidate it with other purchases if you want and send it to you in Argentina.
Watch out for sellers who only hand over in person
On Wallapop there are many listings that say "in-person handover only". That kind of ad does not work for this circuit: you have to filter by the ones that accept shipping. It is the most common mistake among first-time buyers from abroad. We explain the full trick for using the app from outside Europe in the trick to buying on Wallapop and Vinted from any country.

What you'll pay at Argentine customs (updated July 2026)
The Decree 604/2026, in force since 17 July 2026, changed the rules and improved them considerably. There is now a single regime for Correo Argentino and for private couriers:
- USD 400 FOB allowance per shipment, exempt from import duties and the statistics fee.
- Up to 5 shipments per person per year.
- Cap of USD 3,000 and 50 kg per shipment.
- Above the allowance the flat 50% rate was removed: the excess is now taxed under the general regime (21% VAT plus any duties that apply to the goods).
Until 16 July, anyone receiving through Correo Argentino had just USD 50 of allowance per shipment. Now they have 400: eight times more. Together with the removal of the PAÍS tax in December 2024 and the end of the currency controls, buying in Europe from Argentina has not been this convenient in years.
A typical case: from Valencia to Córdoba
Say you find a DSLR camera, a couple of lenses and a branded jacket on Wallapop, each from a different seller in Spain. None of them ships to Argentina, but all of them use Wallapop Envíos within Spain. With your locker you receive the three purchases at our warehouse, we consolidate them into a single box and send it to Córdoba with the cheapest carrier, within the USD 400 allowance. One shipment instead of three impossible purchases.
Buy on Wallapop from Argentina: get your address in Spain and start bidding for whatever you want.
Frequently asked questions
Does Wallapop work in Argentina?
No. Wallapop only operates in Spain, Portugal and Italy. It has no Argentine version.
Does Wallapop offer international shipping?
No. Wallapop Envíos works only within Spain, Portugal and Italy. To receive elsewhere you need an intermediate address in those countries.
Do I need a Spanish phone number to use Wallapop?
The platform asks for verification and a local address for shipping. With a Spanish address from your locker you can operate normally.
How do I avoid the "in-person handover only" listings?
Filter by listings that accept shipping. Sellers who only hand over in person cannot send the item to your European address.
Can I combine several Wallapop purchases?
Yes. You can gather purchases from different sellers at the warehouse and send them together in one parcel, which greatly reduces the cost per item and helps make the most of the USD 400 allowance.
