Ellie Titmus, 32, has described how selling unwanted belongings on Vinted and eBay helped her tackle mounting debt after she became a single mother in 2022.
The mother said her financial problems began to “snowball” following the change in her circumstances, as she faced the costs of raising a child alone.
She turned to online marketplaces to sell items she no longer needed, using the money raised to help pay down what she owed.
Her experience highlights how second-hand selling platforms can provide a practical source of extra income for families under financial pressure.
