How to make an extra £150 a month by getting rid of things you already have in your wardrobe
WE'RE all keen to make extra money - especially when the costs of living are rising on almost a daily basis.
And while eBay has always been a popular way to get rid of clothes and accessories you don't want anymore, there are now a whole host of other websites you can use to sell your unwanted items.
Depop and Vinted are perhaps the most popular ones to sell on.
Depop has more than 21 million users and is designed similarly to Instagram, meaning that it's easy to use if you're a first-time seller.
You'll have to pay them 10% of the product sale price though, along with Paypal fees.
Fiona Short, the owner of Depop shop Fifi's Closet, explained that she makes between £2,500 and £3,350 a month selling on the app.

"It focuses on music, fashion, art … mental health, and sustainability."
There's also the option for sellers to swap things with other sellers.
Vinted has around three million users, and sellers can create an account and list their items for free.
As previously mentioned, eBay is still up there with people's preferred way to sell.
But the downside of listing on the auction site is that you can't guarantee a price, unless you set a reserve.
You also have to pay eBay 10% of the final sale price, as well as paying to list once you go over the monthly £1,000 limit.
Another much-loved way of both selling and buying is through Facebook Marketplace.
Buyers can filter items by location, price and category, and then can contact the seller directly.
