I sell on Etsy. Do I need EPR in Spain?

Yes, if your shop is a producer under Spanish law: RPP registration, a SCRAP, your number in Etsy, and an authorised representative in Spain if your shop is based elsewhere.

Quick answer

Yes, if you ship packaged goods to buyers in Spain. Etsy's help page on Spain says sellers who are producers must register in the packaging section of the RPP, kept by MITECO, join a producer responsibility organisation (a SCRAP), and give Etsy the registration number under Shop Manager › Finances › Legal and tax information › Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) registrations › Spain. It also says that producers established outside Spain need to appoint an authorised representative in Spain. Electrical equipment and batteries have their own registers and numbers.
