IKEA has announced the launch of its second-hand marketplace in the UK, giving people a simple way to buy and sell pre-owned IKEA products.

The second-hand marketplace makes it easier for people to pass on IKEA furniture they no longer need, while helping others discover pre-owned products, including those that may no longer be available in stores.

The new marketplace supports IKEA's vision of creating a better everyday life for the many people by making it easier for customers to access and pass on IKEA products as their needs evolve through different stages of life.

The launch of the IKEA second-hand marketplace complements on IKEA’s existing in-store Buyback & Resell service, which was introduced in 2021. The service allows customers to sell eligible products back to IKEA in exchange for instore credit. The new marketplace enables peer-to-peer transactions, where sellers can choose to receive payment in cash or opt for an IKEA digital refund card with a 15% bonus.

Together, Buyback & Resell and the second-hand marketplace give eligible IKEA products two potential routes to a new owner – resale directly to IKEA or to another customer, creating a distinctive proposition in the resale market.

The IKEA second-hand marketplace is available exclusively to IKEA Family members. Customers can sign up for free here: ikea.com. The IKEA second-hand marketplace can be explored here.
