As lockdown is on for another few weeks, many of us have taken to using the extra time we have at home to declutter and sift through our wardrobe to get rid of any unwanted clothes, shoes and bags to hopefully make some extra money on eBay.
This is especially true for those of us who may have been made furlough or taken a pay cut.
