DISAPPOINTED Brits have already started selling unwanted Christmas presents on Facebook marketplace and eBay.
Most people have experienced the disappointed feeling of opening a Christmas present that just doesn’t hit the mark.
But some feel so let down, that they’ve decided to sell their festive gifts.
Presents up for grabs include a crockery set, a PS5 Pro, a Pandora bracelet, and a Fortnum and Mason gift set.
The items have been listed under “unwanted Christmas gifts” on the social media site and uploaded all within the last 24 hours.
One user asked for £100 for the unwanted Pandora bracelet, while another was hoping to get £25 for a set of 10 bowls.
The Sun also spotted a range of other presents including unwanted gift cards and hampers.
Elsewhere on eBay, someone is selling a bundle of unwanted gifts for £5.
The haul includes a box of Malteaser truffles, some socks, and two tea towels.
Another seller was also flogging a range of fluffy socks, perfumes, and a decorative car for £30.
The move has upset some people on social media with one woman describing it as “rude”.
She wrote: “It’s 5pm on Christmas Day and I’ve already seen about 10 people putting items on here for sale saying ‘Unwanted Christmas gift’.
“I mean how rude, at least wait till after New Year. “
While another user said: “Absolutely incredible that you can go on ebay and search ‘Unwanted Christmas’ and there’s something like 6000 new entries for TODAY.
“Could you give it a day lads?”
It is not uncommon for people to sell unwanted items that they won’t use on eBay or other websites to make extra cash.
In 2021, The Sun reported that some people were so unimpressed with their gifts that they decided to flog them still wrapped.
A similar story was also reported back in 2019, with one punter selling off a bundle of wrapped presents for £8.
It is worth noting that if you come across any wrapped present for sale, it could be a dud.
If you are ever unsure about an item it is always worth asking the seller for more images or details to avoid losing out on cash.
