Three quarters of people considering selling items to afford the rising cost of living, says eBay

New research released by eBay UK reveals that three quarters (77 per cent) of people in Britain have already started, or are considering, selling items from around the home to afford the rising cost of living. As selling unwanted belongings is one method that could help to line the nation’s pockets, eBay has crunched the numbers to reveal which secondhand items you can sell, to cash in on more than £1,000.

From musical instruments worth nearly £150 that are collecting dust, to old laptops worth almost £300 that have since been upgraded - there are plenty of things you can sell to both make money and rehome elsewhere to extend the item's lifecycle.

Alongside selling items from around the home, more than half (56 per cent) of the nation will be making efforts to spend less, and a quarter (28 per cent) see themselves dipping into savings, as four in five (84 per cent) UK adults are currently feeling concerned by the increasing inflation in the UK.
