I've found the following have helped earned that extra bit of cash (very similar to the above, great replies guys!):
Cashback - Join the cashback sites, do the daily clicks, take advantage of any great offers (bit it gambling, insurance, etc) and send all your purchases through if possible. Quidco is my favourite, but I'm also a fan of TopCashback and Pigsback.
Matched Betting - Unfortunately I didn't take full advantage of this due to my occasional money making at University a couple years back. However, get yourself over to the Gambling Loopholes board, spend time reading up and take advantage. Sadly, it does require some base funds, which may exclude some of you. Also, if you have a gambling problem, it may be a good idea to give it a miss. It ain't worth causing trouble over...
Casinos - As above, but these are not normally risk-free. I only do the ickle offers and have been very lucky. Not recommended, but their are some no deposit offers worth checking out in the Gambling Loopholes forum again.
eBay/Amazon - As you've mentioned, great way to make extra cash. I suggest you run through your stuff again to see if there is anything else you can sell. Car boots, classifieds, work adverts and the rest and ways to follow this up further.
Other things I haven't done but would consider:
Part-time work - Can you afford the time to get an evening or weekend job. Even 10 hours a week at £5 an hour will be £200 before tax a month, it all helps. Sunday can be double time too. Pub jobs are especially good, chance to socalise and it'll stop you spending as much, as you'll be working (may even get free drinks).
I'm out for now... hope it helps somewhat.there are a TON of other threads on this, so go a search for sure. There was an awesome one in the Budget Forum called something like 'Great Bit On The Side Hunt' - worth checking out (I'll try and find the link later). Things like car advertising were mentioned, which seemed interesting.
PS. Almost forget the surveys - sign yourself up to CIAO, YouGov, etc and maximise the earnings. They can be slow going, but eventually you will get some rewards. Check out here and the referrals forums for more guidance.
