Where to buy second hand in Belgium
By Lukas
Almost everything sold second hand in Belgium goes through five sites: 2ememain, 2dehands, Vinted, Facebook Marketplace and eBay. In practice it is four, because 2ememain and 2dehands are one site.
I built KeenFind to search all of them at once, so I look at what each one carries every day. This is what I have learned, with prices from the listings KeenFind recorded in Belgium at the end of September 2026.
2ememain and 2dehands: one site, two names
2ememain is the French name and 2dehands the Dutch one. An ad placed on one shows up on the other. Both belong to Adevinta, the group behind Marktplaats in the Netherlands.
You contact the seller, agree on a price and usually collect in person. Many sellers let you bid instead of asking a fixed price, so the price in the ad is often where the talk starts, not where it ends.
This is the place for bikes, furniture, electronics and anything you want to see and try before you pay.
Vinted: not only clothes
Vinted started with clothes, and clothes are still most of it. In Belgium it also carries a lot of phones and home goods. You buy in the app, the seller usually ships the item, and you pay a buyer protection fee on top of the price.
For home goods it was often the cheaper of the two big sites. In the listings we recorded, the median asking price of a sofa was €350 on Vinted against €500 on 2ememain and 2dehands. A dining table was €200 against €395, and a turntable €50 against €125. Part of that is what gets listed where: smaller and cheaper things tend to end up on Vinted. It is still worth checking both.
Facebook Marketplace: local and quick
Facebook Marketplace is strong for furniture and for things people want gone this week. It is local by design: you see what is near you and arrange the pickup by message. You need a Facebook account to use it. Its prices are not part of the figures in this article.
eBay: for the rare things
eBay has fewer private sellers in Belgium than the others, but it reaches sellers across Europe and a lot of professional resellers. It is where I look for something rare, a specific part, or a model nobody near me is selling. Check where the item ships from. Shipping, and customs on anything from the UK, can change the price a lot.
What things cost
Median asking prices in Belgium at the end of September 2026, with parts, broken units and accessories left out. These are asking prices, not what things finally sold for.
| Product | Median asking price |
|---|---|
| iPhone 13 | €250 |
| Bike | €200 |
| Electric bike | €580 |
| Road bike | €450 |
| MacBook | €450 |
| PlayStation 5 | €575 |
| Sofa | €350 |
| Dining table | €339 |
| Turntable | €100 |
Every product has its own page with the full range and what to check before you buy, in Dutch and in French.
How to buy without getting burnt
- Collect in person when you can, and try the item before you pay.
- Never pay a deposit to hold something you have not seen.
- Nobody needs your card details to pay you. A link that asks for them so you can "receive" money is a scam, whatever logo it shows.
- On Vinted, pay in the app. A seller who wants to move to a bank transfer or WhatsApp is taking your buyer protection away.
- A price far below the median is a reason to ask more questions, not to hurry.
Searching all of them at once
That is why KeenFind exists. One search covers 2ememain, 2dehands, Vinted, Facebook Marketplace and eBay, and an ad that is on both 2ememain and 2dehands shows up once. If you are waiting for something specific, save the search as an alert and it tells you when a match appears, on any of them. There is a page about it for 2dehands and one for 2ememain.
