How to sell on B&Q Marketplace​

Launched in 2022, diy.com is a specialist home improvement marketplace that offers customers an expanded choice of over 1.2 million products from more than 1,100 verified sellers as well as an integrated experience for customers who benefit from both online and in store facilities. For example, the service allows customers to use B&Q’s 300 store locations for returns of many items, meaning B&Q are closer to customers than ever before.

By joining B&Q’s marketplace, third-party sellers gain access to sell via one of the UK’s most recognisable and credible home improvement retail brands, with a history dating back over 50 years. Our website, diy.com, with over 320m online visits per year, is one of the top visited UK retailers for consumers looking for home improvement products and gives third-party sellers access to a new far-reaching sales platform.

B&Q Marketplace continues to grow from strength to strength and in January 2024, its sales accounted for 38 per cent of B&Qs total e-commerce sales.

B&Q have big ambitions for 2025 including opening marketplace to sellers shipping from outside the UK, offering sponsored product solutions, and running more frequent and larger promotional events.
