Can we list an item written in Spanish?

Sounds funny but I do get a few inquiries from buyers who are Spanish speaking, and it might be worth having a few listings in Spanish, if it is allowed. Are there rules stating your title and description must be in English? Thanks

@dr_sebi 

I couldn't find anything that said it was against policy, maybe somebody else here can find information about it. I think it's better to list in English so you don't alienate buyers who don't speak Spanish. If you want to be inclusive you can create dual-language listings, writing the description in both English and Spanish.

 

I think most buyers that don't speak English would be using a translator in their browser or a similar service. If the buyer is using an international eBay site then eBay will translate most of the time.

You can list in any language you want..........

 

I'd recommend using both languages in the Description area and maybe 50/50 in the Title (depends on the Item).

 

Be careful with the Duplicate Listings, I've never heard eBay's specific policy in this regard but an identical Item listed in Spanish and repeated in English might still be considered a duplicate.
