SELL WELL
I made £550 in 48 hours reselling clothes but NOT on Vinted – I found a platform where sellers get the full asking price
In fact, £509 of the profit she made was from this one platform
VINTED is arguably the most popular platform for reselling.
But one side hustle pro has insisted it's "completely died off" for her, and said there's a new platform she's using instead.

And that's Tilt.
Liv explained that she made £550 in 48 hours through reselling - £509 of which was
According to the app itself, Tilt is somewhere you can "discover emerging fashion, unlock rare collectibles, and shop through videos and live streams with friends".
And Liv said that it's one of the only platforms where buyers get an epic bargain, and sellers still get their full asking price.

She used her Gymshark bits as an example, as she said she was doing the brand new items for £10 each, or in bundles of four for £40.
And thanks to a discount voucher Tilt users were able to get on bigger orders, they ended up getting the bundles for £32 rather than £40 - while Liv got the full amount her end.
In the end, she sold six £40 bundles of the Gymshark bits, as well as a hoodie from the same brand for £20.
On Tilt, she also sold seven Blakely hoodies and sweatshirts, as she further explained: "With the 20% off it meant that I was getting the full £35 but the person buying it was getting it for only £28 because Tilt was covering the 20%."

She also sold 20 Mountain t-shirts on Tilt, meaning she made £509 across three streams in 48 hours on the app.
Elsewhere, she sold a pair of Wrangler jeans she'd bought for £1.50 for an impressive £18 on eBay, and an £8 Carhartt hoodie on Depop for £24.

But she hasn't had much luck on Vinted - even after paying for the wardrobe spotlight feature.
"Vinted has completely died off since I paid for Spotlight and I sold a book for £2, so £2 profit," she sighed.
"Ridiculous!"
"Monday & Tuesdays sales & how much profit I made," Liv captioned the video, calling her success "insane".
"The tax man is going to love me," she joked.
And people in the comments section were quick to praise Liv for her reselling activity, with one writing: "You are absolutely smashing it!!! I love these videos!"
What is retail arbitrage and how does it work?
Retail arbitrage just means reselling a product on for profit.
It is completely legal in the UK, as, once you own an item, you have the right to resell it.
Using an app called BuyBotGo, resellers scan items they find in the supermarket, and the app tells them how much the products are selling for on Amazon, and how many times they have been sold in the past month.
The reseller will make a profit on the items by reselling them using Amazon FBA.
Amazon FBA is a service that online sellers can use, where Amazon takes care of the storing, packing and shipping of your products.
So all the reseller has to do is send the products off to Amazon and wait for the money to roll in.
"What an insane profit!" another added.
"Well done! Not bad for 2 days work."

"Smashing it, do you list every item on all platforms at the same time?" a third asked.
With Liv replying: "Sometimes I cross list and some things I just put onto one platform."
