Don’t throw out those shoes that are falling apart that you’re a little embarrassed to be seen in, because you will not believe the prices people will pay for them. DISCLAIMER: This is going to split you guys, you're either going to think "Wow, I get through a pair of cheap shoes a month, and am going to make a fortune", or you're going to feel queasy. Emma, who runs the money blog Aldi to Harrods , is a shoe selling pro, and has made over £2,000 doing it. She told us: “I stumbled across someone selling their old, smelly shoes on eBay back in 2011 and I knew that I had to give it a try! “I list my old shoes that aren’t any good to a charity shop and not only have I made £2,000 in cash, I’ve had almost £500 worth of gifts bought for me by happy customers.”

It’s not just women who can a pretty penny selling old shoes, men can make around £10 - £30 selling old trainers, though admittedly there is less interest, but also less competition. Emma made £2,000 with a bit of dedication, with one pair of ordinary flats from Primark selling for £70. She’s also found that buyers also want to buy things for her from her Amazon wishlist, with her being gifted £400 - £500 of games, shoes and DVDs. There are plenty selling from £10- £35+, and are selling every day. It’s a numbers game. If you want to see how much people are selling their old shoes on eBay for, there’s a nifty trick. Search for something along the lines of “trashed shoes”, then on the left hand side, under the title “Show only”, tick “Sold listings”. This will bring up all trashed shoes that have been sold, and the price they were sold as. Set the price low - 99p is a good starting point, as shoes with higher starting prices seem not to sell so well or at all.

You want a bidding war on your hands. Keywords are everything - People are looking for specific keywords like “trashed”, “destroyed”, “well-worn” and “used”. If you’re a man, use the words “scally” and “lad”. adidas running shoe saleSteer clear of “smelly” or anything to make eBay think you’re selling fetish material.top running shoes for a marathon Set up a new eBay account - Especially if you are a fan of the free listing weekends that come up, because if your shoes are pulled because of compliance (which can happen with this sort of item), you won’t be eligible to list for free.best hiking boots for uk eBay has strict rules when it comes to selling used shoes on eBay . Rules include that you make no references to the item’s smell or any stains it may have, you can’t make references to the seller (no personal pronouns such as I, me, you etc) and most importantly, no pictures of above the knee - even if it cuts off a large portion of the item up for bid (that includes you, thigh high boots!)

So who is buying these old (and sometimes disgusting) shoes? Well it’s hard to know for sure, but because you’re using certain keywords, it would be fair to say that the odds are the people buying the shoes are likely to have a foot fetish (although not necessarily all the time). Make sure you stay safe and are not made to feel uncomfortable at any time. All you are doing is selling shoes on eBay - nothing more. "I have had some very interesting requests but I have always managed to distance myself from it and to think about the cold, hard cash,” Emma said. Don’t allow sellers to pick up the shoes from you, and make sure you keep your messages between eBay’s messaging system - don’t hand out your email address. If you are going to have an Amazon wish list, then remove your surname and make sure items aren’t just from marketplace sellers (Amazon already knows your address, marketplace sellers will want to know). Remember, if you are feeling uncomfortable at any time, you can always report a buyer's behaviour to eBay.
