Introduction
With the cost-of-living crisis showing little sign of letting up, many of us are trying to find ways to bring extra cash in time for Christmas. One entrepreneurial woman who has managed to do just that is Nicola Frapwell.
Making money on eBay
Nicola Frapwell, 32, has already made over £1,000 this year by selling items on eBay. She's been selling everything from clothing and shoes to jewellery and bags. Most of her items are in pristine condition and have sold for good prices.
Boosting her bank balance
Nicola has been using eBay to boost her bank balance ahead of the expensive festive season. She's been selling items she no longer uses, as well as strategically buying and reselling in-demand items from the US.
Funding a renovation project
On top of using the money for Christmas, Nicola is also trying to boost her savings to help fund a renovation project for her new home. She plans to completely redecorate the front room and bedrooms.
Tapping into her entrepreneurial spirit
Nicola has had to tap into her entrepreneurial spirit to boost her earnings. She buys items when they're discounted, takes advantage of sale periods, and sells items that are in demand but not readily available in the UK.
Helping the planet
Nicola loves the sustainable aspect of selling items on eBay. She hates waste and enjoys knowing that someone else can give her pre-loved items another lease of life.
Tips for selling on eBay
Nicola's tips for selling on eBay include adjusting shipping costs to make them fair for buyers, taking advantage of discounted seller fee days, and being aware of tax regulations when earning money from selling items online.
