Japan:
https://buyee.jp/

Taiwan:
https://shopee.tw/
https://www.ruten.com.tw/

And for proxies / package forwarding services in Taiwan I would recommend LetsGoBuy! I ordered from them in the past, all you need to do is to give them the links for the stuff you want to buy and they will order everything for you even if you don't have an account for x website. They can also merge packages, repack everything the way you want it, special shipping requests, and they also inspect every package they receive and they take videos of every item to make sure you're satisfacted with the item.

Added these two only. The buyee.jp has no search field and seems to be an aggregate that uses the other services shown on their site. The proxy service from Taiwan is out of scope for this post. This post is to list sales websites that can be used to primarily research products, not to actually buy them.

If you have experience with proxy services, you may want to consider doing a thread in General. Then people can say if they have used them before and if people have questions about how they generally work, they can be answered there.

Additionally, I'm really considering to just change the list to be alphabetical by country instead of separated by regions.

Since delivery options etc can effect search results, here are some of the missing ebays from the list.

Austria
https://www.ebay.at/

Belgium (Either)
https://www.befr.ebay.be/
https://www.benl.ebay.be/

Netherlands
https://www.ebay.nl/

Poland
https://www.ebay.pl/

Swiz
https://www.ebay.ch/

Additionally qxl.no doesn't work and/or redirects to an actual auction house for denmark and belgium.

OLX South Africa is no longer available, whereas Dragen Bit is "temporarily unavailable." The former shut down on February 1. Perhaps Dragen Bit will follow?

Stinks about Dragonbit, I think that was actually a store that sold used things rather than a classifieds site. We can open the list up to good store websites like that if you come across any.

Took the time to sort the countries alphabetically instead of by region. Should make it easier to find something now.

So sites like Shop Goodwill and The Salvation Army's Online Thrift Store?

Well Dragonbit was primarily a game store, and had more content regarding older games (primarily photos) available in South Africa more-so than OLX and Gumtree. For the US, we already have Ebay which is the biggest source we can find and even CL probably isn't needed. Goodwill and Salvation Army do not really add any value to the US list, but stores like that for other countries would be worth adding.

tl;dr: Dragonbit got to be on the list because it was more resourceful than the online classified sites, and that can be the model for getting added as a store. For US, you have to beat Ebay (good luck).

Colombia
https://www.olx.com.co

Czech Republic
https://www.bazos.cz

Denmark
https://www.guloggratis.dk

Ecuador
https://www.olx.com.ec

Germany
https://www.quoka.de

Italy
https://www.kijiji.it
https://www.subito.it

Peru
https://www.mercadolibre.com.pe
https://www.olx.com.pe

Slovakia
https://www.bazos.sk

I also found the site Wallapop. Their headquarters are in Spain, but the site has featured sub-categories for larger cities depending on which language you select at the bottom-left of a selectable homepage. However, it seems that the search results remain the same. Maybe it should be added as general Europe option?

My test of Spain vs UK wallapop showed different results. You can limit by country in the drop-down. I just put the 4 different regional domains onto the list and all the rest of those that you posted except for the Czechia Bazos because it was already there.
