No idea about eBay, but for Amazon look at:

Provided what I want fits within the size and weight criteria, I prefer to have things delivered to a local Correos, and I then have two weeks to collect them.

There is a Correos down on the shops/restaurants at Playa Flamenca beach area. It is on the same complex as The Lobster and Surfers restaurants, if you are looking head on at Surfers just walk to the right and follow the shops around, Correos is the last unit on the complex

We had a large parcel ordered through Amazon.es delivered there - you will need your passport as proof of id and if the person collecting the item is not the person whose name is on the order, then a letter giving permission to collect on the buyers behalf must be produced

Yeah, it’s in a different unit from last time (think it was part of a general newsagent/post office) whereas now it is a sole dedicated post office (Correos), larger than before and lots more staff

Thank you for that info Jim. It is very helpful and timely. My default address is now the local Correo.

Information is great, just wondering how large the amazon parcels can be? I want something delivered which is 75x55x21cm. Would it be ok to get it delivered to this Correos? TIA

The following is from their website. Unfortunately they don't define what a medium size is:

Delivery service at collection points is available for products sold or managed by Amazon that meet a series of requirements.

These requirements are as follows:

  • Maximum weight: 15 kg
  • It must have a medium size.
  • Do not contain dangerous substances.

If any of the products in your order do not meet these requirements, you will receive an error message during the processing of your order and we will ask you to enter an alternative delivery address.

Note: Only products sold or managed by Amazon can be delivered to collection points. This includes Marketplace products managed by Amazon (usually those products sold through Amazon Refurbished Products). Any other product sold by an external seller and delivered directly by the seller may not be delivered to Amazon pick-up points.

Try placing a dummy order and see if it throws up an error message.
