The site is free of clutter and offers free delivery if you spend more than €100.

Treasure trove
Nearly €10 billion could be made from re-selling unwanted items hoarded in attics and cupboards across Britain and Ireland, according to auction website eBay. The site has reported a flurry of activity in trading since the middle of March, which it puts down to the "spring-clean effect". The website says clothes, toys, old videos and CDs are among the unwanted items being flogged.
Group delivers
Business is booming at online shopping group Buy4Now. Last week the group, which provides Internet ordering services for Superquinn and Atlantic Home Care among others, said it expects to make €1 million profit this year. According to its website, its average customer is a woman in her 30s, living in Co Dublin with a keen interest in home and garden and health and beauty products.
