OnBuy.com announces refurbished electronics push

OnBuy.com is introducing a dedicated refurbished electronics department for the first time.

The UK-based online marketplace says that the move comes as consumers are increasingly realising the advantages of buying refurbished products with both sustainability and cost being key drivers. It is part of a recent announcement to seek a second round of investment funding, topping up a previous round of £2.7 million. 

Refurbished Electronics will include the likes of headphones, laptops and TVs, household appliances such as vacuum cleaners and toasters, and toys including drones and scooters. All sellers have been handpicked and vetted by OnBuy, and five refurbished grades are available.

“This additional focus on refurbished products is part of our ongoing evolution and underpins our commitment to creating a fairer, more transparent marketplace that puts its buyers and sellers first,” says Cas Paton, Founder, OnBuy.

“We recognised that our sellers have hidden gems and will be offering refurbished products from top brands for incredible prices. This will benefit both our sellers and buyers and further fuel the exponential growth which has seen us become one of the fastest-growing marketplaces in the world.”
