Why Portare
European private sellers rarely ship internationally. We close that gap.
Seller won't ship abroad
Most private sellers on Ricardo or Kleinanzeigen only deal locally. They won't even reply to foreign buyers.
✓ We contact them in their language, as a local buyer.
The listing isn't in your language
Negotiating, asking the right questions, and reading condition details takes a fluent local speaker - across multiple European markets.
✓ We negotiate natively in German, Italian, Spanish, Greek and English.
No local pickup address
Many sellers insist on personal collection. Without a European address, the deal is simply off.
✓ We collect in person across CH, DE, and AT.
Customs complexity
International shipments - especially from Switzerland - involve customs declarations, export docs, and duty calculations.
✓ We handle all paperwork end-to-end.
No way to check what you're getting
Buying from across the world means trusting the seller's word. Photos can be old, conditions overstated, parts missing.
✓ We inspect and photograph every item after purchase, before it ships.
Payment barriers
Swiss sellers expect Twint. German sellers want bank transfer. International cards are often refused.
✓ We pay locally, you pay us.
The process
Four steps. Fully managed. You sit back.
