As the year comes to a close, a number of people are also considering selling their unused goods for a bit of a bank balance boost. And if you're looking around your home and wondering what you can shift, you may want to find out exactly what goods do best on eBay.
eBay UK has shared a list of 10 types of everyday items that could sell for a pretty penny, reporting the average selling price of an item in each category and working out just how much you could earn if you parted with the things that you no longer need.
Emma Grant, Head of Preloved at eBay said: 'Many will be surprised at just how much money you can make from selling items around the house you no longer need to help fund the festive season.
'An old office desk for example could make you around £75 so it is definitely worth having a look to see what items you could convert to cash to make this Christmas a little easier on the pocket.'
