I very much doubt that eBay would be able to help you.  You need to consult the Spanish postal authorities.  As advised unless the buyers were in Spain the postage to UK would possibly make the idea not worthwhile

adding to the advice already given -

 

you need to fully check out the implications of selling with a UK registered account and shipping from Spain.

You presumably know more about Spanish Postal  services that we are likely to.

 

I would be very reluctant to sell China in the UK, as it is expensive to post plus risk of breakage and possibly no compensation, but still having to refund buyer.

 

All this will also apply to posting from Spain, but more so as International Postage, which ideally should be tracked is also likely to be more expensive, AND you will have to understand the rules coming in on July 1st, about Taxes in the EU and UK. 

 

You need to be aware of what value is covered by Spanish Post. For example in the UK, ordinary mail only covers up to £20, above that a Tracked Service must be used to cover the value of the item, which all adds to costs.
