Popular Homeware Brand to Launch New Second-Hand Marketplace in the UK
The marketplace will let IKEA Family members trade pre-owned furniture directly as the company expands its resale push after pilot schemes in six European countries.
- IKEA is preparing to launch a second-hand marketplace in the UK later this year, allowing IKEA Family members to buy and sell pre-owned furniture directly with one another in their local areas.
- Following successful pilot schemes in Madrid and Oslo that began in August 2024, the initiative expanded to include full rollouts in Spain, Norway, Portugal, Poland, Sweden, and Belgium.
- Sellers can upload photos while IKEA's system provides product images and assembly instructions, with users offered cash or IKEA gift cards worth 15 percent more than the agreed price.
- The platform operates separately from IKEA's existing Buyback service and challenges competitors like Vinted and Facebook Marketplace, while restricting listings to Only IKEA-branded items.
- IKEA confirmed that further details regarding the launch, including a start date and participation steps, will be shared in the coming months as the company aims to make trading seamless.
