Obviously, the best way to maximize your earnings when selling anything is to sell items individually – and that applies to clothes in the same way it does everything else – but if you want to sell your old clothes quickly and easily in bulk, try specialist trade-in site Patatam.

You’ll need to send at least twenty items and it only accepts women’s and kids’ clothing (so, just to be clear, NOT men’s clothing), but it really is ultra-convenient.

Just enter details of brand, size and type of item (such as skirt, shorts, blouse etc) and Patatam generates a value for them all, then sends you a free-to-post bag. You then get paid by PayPal, bank transfer or Patatam voucher.
