Selling

Currys has launched a limited time offer where shoppers can swap broken tech products and smaller white goods for a voucher worth at least £5 to spend in store or online. But you're likely to earn more recycling broken items elsewhere.

eBay is increasing the number of free monthly listings for sellers from 20 to 1,000 – but you'll still need to pay a fee if your item sells. 

Facebook is launching its own free-to-use classified-ads platform for buying and selling goods locally, although it won't interfere with independent buying and selling groups already set up on the site.
