🌇 Order on Ebay – or Visit Dong Xuan Market
That selfie stick for 5 EUR? Or this smartphone case for 4 EUR? Order them on eBay and wait 4 weeks for the delivery from Asia—or get both and more at Dong Xuan Center, for the same price.
Intro
We all know how eBay and Amazon have revolutionized the global market, especially for technology and gadgets. What used to be delivered in several steps from Asia to Europe via various salespeople, each adding their margin, can now be ordered directly from Asia via these well-known websites.
The remaining hurdles are usually long delivery times, not being able to see the product in person before purchase, and the hassle of returns.
At Berlin’s Dong Xuan Center, you’ll find a vast array of products that you might typically only see online on eBay, but here you can experience them in person. It may not be everything, but it’s certainly close.
Shop Types
Dong Xuan Center consists of 8 large halls, each almost 200 meters long, with hallways stretching from one end to the other and various shops lined up on both sides. These shops offer:
- Electronics
- Clothes
- Cosmetics
- Nail Studios
- Hair Stylists
- Household/Kitchen Items
- Bicycle Accessories (locks, lights)
- Groceries, especially Asian
For example, on my last visit, I bought a wallet, bicycle lights, and a selfie stick/tripod set—all for the same price as one would pay at a Hong Kong-based eBay reseller.
Opening Hours & Directions
Dong Xuan Center is open daily from 10:00 to 20:00 but closed on Tuesdays.
It is located in Lichtenberg, right in front of the tram stop Herzbergstr./Industriegebiet, served by:
- Line M8, connecting with Alexanderplatz and the Ringbahn at Landsberger Allee
- Line 21, connecting with Friedrichshain / Frankfurter Tor
