Who is behind Marktplaats?

Dutch classifieds marketplace.

Marktplaats runs its online business from Netherlands. Contract partner, invoice and return address are therefore based in Netherlands, even when the storefront is shown in your language. Knowing that up front avoids surprises at the first return.

Warranty and returns on a cross-border order

The same consumer rights apply as at home: 24 months warranty under the sale of goods directive (EU) 2019/771 and 14 days right of withdrawal under the consumer rights directive 2011/83/EU. Your counterpart is the seller in Netherlands. The difference is logistics, not law: returned goods travel back to Netherlands, which stretches the processing time. For cross-border disputes the European Consumer Centre is the point of contact.

When Marktplaats is the wrong choice

  • You want a bulky item that has to be collected or swapped on site. A cross-border return is exactly the effort a local dealer takes off your hands.
  • You need the item tomorrow. Parcels leaving Netherlands take longer than those from a warehouse in your own country.
  • Your basket is small. On low order values the shipping cost usually eats up the price advantage.
