- Ikea has launched a second-hand marketplace competing with eBay and Vinted, allowing Ikea Family members to buy and sell pre-owned homewares.
- Items purchased through the platform are expected to cost an average of 60 per cent less than buying new equivalents.
- The listing process automatically provides pricing recommendations, professional photos, descriptions, and assembly instructions when sellers scan eligible items.
- Sellers can choose to receive payment in cash or via an Ikea gift card, which includes a 15 per cent bonus top-up.
- While mattresses, appliances, and food are excluded, buyers will be able to order free replacement spare parts for their furniture.
