Most people have experienced the disappointed feeling of opening a Christmas present that just doesn't hit the mark.

But some people feel so let down, they've decided to sell on their festive haul.

The Sun has spotted bundles of presents listed on Ebay and Facebook Marketplace and some are still in their wrapping.

One seller described their haul, which included gloves and a photo frame, simply as "unwanted gift bundle", with bidding starting at £7.

Another selling was asking for £30 for their pile of presents, which included a scarf, candles and toiletries.

Some of the items in the stack had been used or were slightly damaged, according to the description.

Another seller listed a bundle of 41 unwrapped presents for £120, promising that money raised from the auction will be given to charity.

And there were already two bids on a haul of Joules and Jack Wills goodies, when we looked at one listing.

But while some shoppers might be looking to bag a bargain bundle, others were less impressed that people were selling on unwanted gifts.

On Twitter, one person joked: "Facebook is filled with people selling unwanted Christmas presents, hope who gift them don't follow them!"

Another said: "Dying at all these people selling their unwanted Christmas presents on Facebook."

Of course, it's not uncommon that you don't get everything on your Christmas gift wish list.
