IKEA announces upcoming launch of “second-hand marketplace”

Today, IKEA announces it will be launching a brand-new platform: the IKEA second-hand marketplace.

The IKEA second-hand marketplace is a dedicated space where pre-loved IKEA products can find a new home. The platform will enable customers to connect directly with one another, enabling them to buy and sell pre-owned IKEA items locally, making affordable second-hand home furnishings easily accessible.

Designed specifically for IKEA products, the marketplace will provide everything shoppers need in one place, making it just as easy to pass on an old favourite as it is to find a new one.

A spokesperson from IKEA said: “At IKEA, we are always looking for new ways to make life at home even better and help our customers discover products they love. With the launch of IKEA second-hand marketplace in the UK, we’re taking a meaningful step toward creating a destination that simplifies access to pre-owned IKEA furniture.

Our goal is to make passing on beloved IKEA pieces as seamless as possible. We’re creating a trusted and vibrant space to make it quick and easy for our IKEA Family members to trade directly with one another. We want the process for buying and selling pre-owned IKEA products to be simple, accessible and rewarding.”

Detailed information regarding the official launch and how customers can participate will be made available in the coming months.
