However, Lisa has revealed a key phrase to include in your descriptions that make a HUGE difference to how much you sell.

In a video on TikTok, Lisa said: "When you list your item you write a description.

"You want to write the best description that you can - that's another tip I've talked about that before.

Her top tip for the day was: "Add to your listing, 'Please see my other items, I'm having a clear-out'.

"Those few simple words will make people look through the rest of your wardrobe.

"So that's all you need to write!"

And Lisa knows what she's talking about.

She's consistently made hundreds of pounds monthly on reselling sites and has raked in £280 in the last two to three weeks alone.

Lisa also said posting your item on as many sites as possible is a good idea.

"It's all about getting more eyes on your item," she said.

"So however you can do that is what you want - to try and achieve more eyes on your item.

New Vinted rules to be aware of

IF you fancy clearing out your wardrobe and getting rid of your old stuff on Vinted, you’ll need to consider the new rules that recently came into play.

If people are selling personal items for less than they paid new (which is generally the case for second-hand sales), there is no impact on tax.

However, since January 1, digital platforms, including eBayAirbnbEtsyAmazon and Vinted, must share seller information with HMRC as part of a crackdown.

You're unlikely to be affected if you only sell a handful of second-hand items online each year - generally, only business sellers trading for profit might need to pay tax.

A tax-free allowance of £1,000 has been in place since 2017 for business sellers trading for profit - the only time that an individual personal item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is a profit from the sale.

However, firms now have to pass on your data to HMRC if you sell 30 or more items a year or earn over £1,700.

It is part of a wider tax crackdown to help ensure that those who boost their income via side hustles pay up what they owe.

While your data won't be shared with HMRC if you earn between £1,000 and £1,700, you'll still need to pay tax as normal.
