"I've made £250k selling clothes on Depop - I started from my bedroom at university"

Savvy clothes seller Callum Massey has revealed what it's like to make a fortune of as much as £250k on fashion marketplace Depop. He began his business during his second year of his English Literature degree at the University of Wolverhampton to make extra cash.

Fast forward to now, the 24-year-old says he has made a quarter of a million pounds from selling clothes online with a 54 per cent profit margin - and even has plans for a new business. Callum is currently preparing to invest his profits into a new monthly sock subscription service to run alongside his two Depop shops.

From selling keyrings on Depop to scouring car boot sales from vintage clothing, Callum claims he has an annual revenue of £56,000, of which £30,000 is profit. But despite his wealth, he admits to having no plans to move out of his parents' semi-detached home anytime soon.
