Turning junk into cash

As the credit crunch continues to bite lumps out of the cash in peoples pockets one popular way of biting back is to sell some unwanted clothes, books, DVDs, toys or any other items that you have that are no longer used.

This used to be done via car boot sales but since the arrival of ebay and other online auction sites these online sales are by far the most popular method.

Online costs for the seller generally include a listing fee, a feature fee (if you want additional features such as bold headings, more pictures etc) and a final value fees (this is a percentage based on the selling price).

In order to create some extra auctions ebay have decided to reduce listing fees to only 5p on Thursday 4 September so if you were thinkig of clearing out that cupboard be quick and list the items tomorrow and turn that junk into cash.
