What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

IKEA launched a second-hand marketplace in Ireland, enabling customers to buy and sell pre-owned IKEA furniture directly with one another. Sellers must accurately describe the condition of items, classifying them as ‘As new’, ‘Used’, or ‘Very used’. The company stated it will not physically inspect the furniture sold through the service, which is available only to customers signed up for the Family loyalty scheme. This move puts IKEA into a market already served by sites like Adverts.ie.
