The refurbished market is reaching a new milestone. European marketplace Refurbed has announced it has surpassed €3 billion in gross merchandise volume, while continuing to expand across Europe.
A development that directly shapes how sellers approach their marketplace strategy.
From a niche market to a deliberate choice
Not long ago, buying refurbished often meant accepting a compromise quality concerns, unclear warranties, a range limited to entry-level devices. That reputation no longer holds.
Today, European consumers buy refurbished deliberately for the savings, yes, but also out of genuine environmental conviction.
The availability of premium products recent iPhones, Dyson appliances has fundamentally changed how the category is perceived. Orders in the premium segment more than doubled in a single year on Refurbed. That is not a small shift.
An expansion that is reshaping European e-commerce
Refurbed’s simultaneous entry into twelve new markets, including France and the UK, brings its total addressable audience to nearly 500 million consumers.
For sellers already active on European marketplaces, this means increased competition in certain categories but also new opportunities for those selling refurbished products or spare parts.
The platform’s profitability achieved in 2025, combined with a €50 million funding round, signals that this is not a passing trend. Refurbished now has the resources to establish itself as a lasting part of the retail landscape, alongside traditional channels.
A real opportunity, if you’re organised
Refurbed’s growth sends a clear message: demand for refurbished products is strong, growing, and spreading across more and more categories.
For a refurbisher, this is good news. Refurbed is a serious sales channel, with an audience that is already convinced and ready to buy.
And it is just one channel among many. Amazon, Pixmania, QuelBonPlan, Back Market… each additional marketplace is a new storefront, a new audience, and more potential sales. Expanding your distribution channels is, simply put, expanding your commercial reach.
How to make the most of it
A few things are essential to get right:
1️⃣ Keep inventory up to date across every channel to avoid stockouts and overselling
2️⃣ Handle all orders from one place, regardless of which platform they come from
3️⃣ Track your performance: know what sells and where, so you can steer your business effectively
4️⃣ Adjust prices dynamically to stay competitive as more sellers enter each marketplace
💡To manage this kind of expansion, most refurbishers rely on dedicated tools like Sellermania to save time, reduce errors, and stay focused on their core business.
