Launched less than a year ago in June, Allegro.de website had 1.5 million offers within first few months of operations, according to company's spokesman Michał Bonarowski, the company did not reveal information how many products were sold there. “This decision is motivated by our strategy to focus on allegro.pl. These experiences will allow us to launch similar projects in the future,” Bonarowski said. Allegro.de catered to Polish sellers who could offer their goods to German customers. The remaining auctions will be terminated after March 28, and the site will cease to be operational by April 5.
