And that's Tilt.
Liv explained
According to the app itself, Tilt is somewhere you can "discover emerging fashion, unlock rare collectibles, and shop through videos and live streams with friends".
And Liv said that it's one of the only platforms where buyers get an epic bargain, and sellers still get their full asking price.

She used her Gymshark bits as an example, as she said she was doing the brand new items for £10 each, or in bundles of four for £40.
And thanks to a discount voucher Tilt users were able to get on bigger orders, they ended up getting the bundles for £32 rather than £40 - while Liv got the full amount her end.
In the end, she sold six £40 bundles of the Gymshark bits, as well as a hoodie from the same brand for £20.
On Tilt, she also sold seven Blakely hoodies and sweatshirts, as she further explained: "With the 20% off it meant that I was getting the full £35 but the person buying it was getting it for only £28 because Tilt was covering the 20%."

She also sold 20 Mountain t-shirts on Tilt, meaning she made £509 across three streams in 48 hours on the app.
Elsewhere, she sold a pair of Wrangler jeans she'd bought for £1.50 for an impressive £18 on eBay, and an £8 Carhartt hoodie on Depop for £24.

But she hasn't had much luck on Vinted - even after paying for the wardrobe spotlight feature.
"Vinted has completely died off since I paid for Spotlight and I sold a book for £2, so £2 profit," she sighed.

"Ridiculous!"
"Monday & Tuesdays sales & how much profit I made," Liv captioned the video, calling her success "insane".
"The tax man is going to love me," she joked.
And people in the comments section were quick to praise Liv for her reselling activity, with one writing: "You are absolutely smashing it!!! I love these videos!"

What is retail arbitrage and how does it work?
Retail arbitrage just means reselling a product on for profit.
It is completely legal in the UK, as, once you own an item, you have the right to resell it.
Using an app called BuyBotGo, resellers scan items they find in the supermarket, and the app tells them how much the products are selling for on Amazon, and how many times they have been sold in the past month.
The reseller will make a profit on the items by reselling them using Amazon FBA.
Amazon FBA is a service that online sellers can use, where Amazon takes care of the storing, packing and shipping of your products.
So all the reseller has to do is send the products off to Amazon and wait for the money to roll in.
"What an insane profit!" another added.
"Well done! Not bad for 2 days work."
"Smashing it, do you list every item on all platforms at the same time?" a third asked.
With Liv replying: "Sometimes I cross list and some things I just put onto one platform."

I make £4k a month on the side doing a job nobody wants – there's hardly any competition & it's cheap to get started
The side-hustler charges up to £452 for one job CASHING IN I make £4k a month on the side doing a job nobody wants – there's hardly any competition & it's cheap to get started A SIDE HUSTLE whiz has revealed how he makes an extra £4000 a month, from a job nobody wants to do. Known only as @thegravecleaner online, the money-making pro cleans people's headstones for cash, alongside his regular job. 2 This man makes £4k a month from cleaning graves Credit: TikTok/@themoneyshark 2 There's hardly any competition for the job Credit: TikTok/@themoneyshark The cleaning pro charges £135 for a basic clean, and up to £452, for a full restoration. "You're probably thinking to yourself, no one's gonna pay for that. People don't even visit graves anymore. "Well, you're wrong, because he stays booked up", said TikToker @themoneyshark, who used the grave cleaner as an example of a great way to make extra cash. The Money Shark explained that one of the best things about this side hustle is that there isn't much competition, because "let's be real, not many people wanna offer this service." He added that it also doesn't cost much to get started, as you just need around £150 to purchase all of the supplies you need to get started. However, he warned that you need to be careful with what cleaning products you use, as some can damage the headstones. Sharing advice to anyone keen to start their own grave cleaning business, the Money Shark explained that its best to first scope out out if there is any competition in your local area. He added that if you already have your own cleaning business, adding grave cleaning on is a great way to make some extra cash. To advertise his business, the grave cleaner posts to Facebook, as well as filming himself cleaning graves to TikTok, where has has racked up 34,000 followers. The Money Shark's video has gone viral, racking up 1.2 million views and thousands of comments. I earn cash by selling 'actual rubbish' on eBay - I flogged a freebie I found on the floor by a bin for £10, it's crazy TikTok users raced to the video's comments section to share their thoughts on the side hustle. One person said: "Me and the hubby do this as a side hustle. "They definitely pay for this!" A second person said: "I'm a foreman at a cemetery, trust me, a lot of Markers and Monuments need it." Do I need to pay tax on my side hustle income? MANY people feeling strapped for cash are boosting their bank balance with a side hustle. The good news is, there are plenty of simple ways to earn some additional income - but you need to know the rules. When you're employed the company you work for takes the tax from your earnings and pays HMRC so you don't have to. But anyone earning extra cash, for example from selling things online or dog walking, may have to do it themselves. Stephen Moor, head of employment at law firm Ashfords, said: "Caution should be taken if you're earning an additional income, as this is likely to be taxable. "The side hustle could be treated as taxable trading income, which can include providing services or selling products." You can make a gross income of up to £1,000 a year tax-free via the trading allowance, but over this and you'll usually need to pay tax. Stephen added: "You need to register for a self-assessment at HMRC to ensure you are paying the correct amount of tax. "The applicable tax bands and the amount of tax you need to pay will depend on your income." If you fail to file a tax return you could end up with a surprise bill from HMRC later on asking you to pay the tax you owe - plus extra fees on top. A third person said: "I think it's a noble idea. "Respect for the ones that have passed and the ones left behind." A fourth added: "I like cleaning alone so I think this would be good for me."

I made £21 selling three dresses in an hour! I love a good bargain, and I'm forever buying dresses in the seasonal sales, but if I'm being truthful I have more than I really need - or wear - so I set myself a challenge. I went through my wardrobe and pulled out all the dresses I haven't worn in the last three months - and I'm ashamed to say many of them still had tags on! I decided to pop them on to Vinted so they could be loved by a new owner, and free up some space in my wardrobe for the clothes I actually do wear. It was easy to do. I took a picture of each dress - tip: good lighting is key - and uploaded it onto the app with a description of the dress including colour and condition. I also noted a couple of occasions where the dress could be worn - party, workwear, etc - as this gives it a greater chance of appearing in a search. Within an hour, three of my dresses had sold and I was £21 in profit. Not bad for a few minutes of effort! Next stop, my husband's wardrobe!
