    You can sell items in bundles or if you combine items for postage.
    I've been selling odds and ends for years on ebay usually prepping listings when watching TV (so dead time when you may otherwise be on your phone anyway).
    It soon adds uup and what I consider tat has sold for far more than I expected (but vice versa).
    It's helped pay for a holiday or day trips plus after covid and having moved, the walk got us out and about at the weekend when we were (at the time) too worn down to bother leaving the house.
    May you find your sister soon Helli.
    Sleep well.

    1p 

    Although if you sell for 1p the ebay markup will be over 7500% 

    So you could say 76p if you are prepared to take a 75p loss.

    I sell lots of items for £10-£20. according to my records £760 in the last 12 months have been below £20. I think it takes 2 mins to list an item and 2 minutes to pack it up, I drop items off as I'm going to the shops anyway, even if I get £10 for 5 minutes work that seems ok to me, I'm getting rid of stuff and stopping it going to landfill at the same time
