Ikea is opening a new platform for shoppers to trade used furniture
The Swedish retailer wants the service to help people in its Ikea Family loyalty scheme buy and sell goods among themselves. Bosses haven't picked a UK start date yet, though they plan to share more information over the next few months. The company has already tested similar projects in Spain and Norway as shoppers increasingly turn to apps like Vinted and Facebook.
