Ikea debuts peer-to-peer market

Ikea has introduced a marketplace for its second-hand furniture, similar to eBay.

Trials of Ikea Preowned have begun in Oslo and Madrid, ahead of a global rollout in 2025.

Customers provide their own images of the furniture and asking price while Ikea will add he original retail price, product description and images.

The seller and buyer arrange delivery and the seller has the option of being paid with a voucher from ikea, which has a 15% bonus.

Under the trial, listings are free but Ikea plans to introduce a ‘humble’ fee.
