Lastly, the savvy reseller made £13.95 selling on a Craghoppers fleece, and made £4.15 profit per sale of debobbling machines - after paying £4 for 50 of them herself.
I made £550 in 48 hours reselling clothes but NOT on Vinted - I found a platform where sellers get the full asking price -
She concluded her video by showing that she'd spent £20.03, and emerged with a total profit of £269.85.
"Wow I'm massively under pricing my stuff. I have hundreds to sell!" one person commented on the TikTok video.
With the mum advising: "Use eBay to research sold prices to help you as a guide".
"That's a bangin' profit!" another praised.
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.

All you need to know about voice spoofing and audio deepfakes
Analysis: Biometric fraud like voice spoofing and audio deepfakes are part of broader social engineering attacks by scammers and criminals Voice spoofing involves using digital technology such as artificial intelligence to mimic someone's voice so accurately that it can deceive both humans and automated speaker verification systems. With recent rapid advancements in AI, creating these fake voices—often called "audio deepfakes"—has become alarmingly easy. Today, with just a few seconds of recorded speech from platforms like podcasts, YouTube or TikTok, machine learning models can generate highly realistic synthetic voices that mimic real individuals. It is a type of biometric fraud and often part of broader social engineering attacks. How does voice spoofing work? AI-powered tools analyses the unique patterns of a person's speech—such as tone, pitch, and rhythm—and use this data to produce synthetic speech that closely resembles the original voice. The technology have become so advanced that distinguishing between a real voice and a fake one is increasingly challenging. From RTÉ Radio 1's The Business, BBC's File on 4. reporter Paul Connolly on how criminals are now using AI-generated voices to scam people out of their money Typically, the process usually begins with an attacker collecting voice clips from online sources like social media or videos. Specialized AI models, like VGGish or YAMNet analyze these voice samples to extract important acoustic patterns from the voice, turning them into digital fingerprints called embeddings. These embeddings are then fed into voice generation systems such as Tacotron, WaveNet, or FastSpeech that produce new speech mimicking the original voice. The resulting fake voice can be used in phone calls or apps to impersonate someone in real time. How is this going to impact us in the real world? Financial scams are a growing problem and we've all had a (fairly ridiculous) phone call where a robot voice purporting to be from a company tries to get information or money, but more sophisticated versions have worked. In the UK, fraudsters used AI-generated voices to impersonate financial advisors, leading to a multi-million euro scam targeting crypto investors. In the US, the FBI has warned about scammers using AI to mimic senior US officials' voices, deceiving individuals into sharing confidential information. There have also even been cases where scammers cloned the voices of loved ones, calling individuals and pretending to be in distress to extract money. These incidents highlight the disturbing reality that even the sound of someone's voice can no longer be trusted. From CNN, can Donie O'Sullivan's parents tell the difference between RealDonie's voice and AI-Donie's voice? Celebrities, politicians, and influencers are particularly at risk because their voices are widely available online. The more audio content (voice data) available publicly, the easier it is for AI tools to replicate their voice. This is a basic principle of AI: more data = better performance. However, it's not just public figures who are at risk. If you've ever posted a video or audio clip on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, or YouTube, your voice could potentially be cloned. What are the difficulties in detecting voice spoofing? Detecting synthetic voices is a complex task. Most traditional security systems and speaker verification systems often rely on voice recognition for authentication, but AI-generated voices have become sophisticated enough to deceive these systems. Some of the core technical challenges include: Spectro-temporal similarity Fake voices closely mimic both pitch and timing patterns of natural speech. Data imbalance: Real-world datasets typically contain fewer examples of spoofed voices, making it harder for AI to recognize these cases. Generalisation: Many detection models struggle when faced with spoofing methods they weren't specifically trained on. How to protect yourself While the threat is real, there are steps you can take to safeguard against voice spoofing: Be sceptical: If you receive an unexpected call requesting sensitive information or money, verify the caller's identity through another channel. Use safe words: Establish a unique code word with family and close contacts that can be used to confirm identities during emergencies. Limit voice sharing: Be cautious about sharing voice recordings online, especially on public platforms. Stay informed: Keep abreast of the latest scams and educate yourself on how to recognize potential threats. Voice spoofing poses a growing threat as AI continues to advance, making it easier than ever to mimic someone's voice convincingly. Whether you're a public figure or an everyday social media user, the potential to become a victim of voice cloning exists. From RTÉ Radio 1's Ray D'Arcy Show, AI expert Henry Ajder talks on how deepfakes are damaging online trust and what some platforms are doing to rebuild it How our research work is helping Our recent research proposes an innovative and effective approach for detecting voice spoofing by using a hybrid deep learning (DL) architecture called VGGish-LSTM. We used VGGish, a pre-trained model developed by Google, to extract robust acoustic embeddings from audio data. These embeddings capture detailed features that are often not noticeable by human listeners but are critical in distinguishing synthetic voices. Once extracted, these acoustic features are then analysed by a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network, a type of artificial neural network designed specifically to detect long-term patterns and dependencies in sequential data. These networks excel at identifying variations in speech rhythm, tone, and pitch that could indicate synthetic or manipulated speech. The advice for users is to stay vigilant, limit how much voice data you share online and adopt simple safety practices Evaluated on the widely used ASV Spoof 2019 dataset, our model achieved an outstanding accuracy of over 90%. This performance demonstrates our model's ability to detect spoofing effectively and can be used in real-world scenarios such as banking authentication, call centre security, or smart home voice verification systems. With ongoing research into detection technologies, such as the VGGish-LSTM model described here, we can continue developing robust defences to cope with voice spoofing scams. But for users, the advice is to stay vigilant, limit how much voice data you share online and adopt simple safety practices.

TikTok to add new features to customise ‘For You' feed
Video sharing site TikTok is enhancing its personalised content feed, allowing users to further shape the content that they see. The company said it would add two new features to help people further personalise their feeds, with the ability to manage topics and filter out certain keywords now available. Manage Topics will allow people to customise how often content related to subjects such as creative arts, travel and sports appear in their feeds. More than 10 popular topics are included. TikTok said the settings wouldn't eliminate the topics from feeds entirely, but it would affect how often they appeared in feeds. READ MORE TikTok already offers keyword filters to help limit content from recommendations, but the new Smart Keyword Filters will offer a more finely tuned way to impact content through AI. The smart filters will pull in similar keywords, such as synonyms, and will become more precise over time, TikTok said. 'To give people more fine-grained ways to shape their experience in the months to come, we'll also be doubling the number of keywords that can be filtered to 200,' TikTok said in a blog post. The 'For You' feed is central to TikTok's user experience, allowing people to find new content. It already has a number of ways to personalise the feed, from previous viewing habits to liking and favouriting other content. 'The For You feed is why TikTok is a place like no other for people to discover new interests and creators to grow thriving communities,' said Adam Presser, head of operations and trust and safety for TikTok. 'We're thrilled to expand the tools and resources that empower people to find their favourite creator, shape their ideal For You feed experience and explore safely in a place tailored just for them.' The social media giant has implemented a number of changes in recent months to boost the site's privacy and safety, including interrupting content with planned 'meditation breaks' for younger users, and the ring-fencing of user data to appease authorities in both the US and the EU.

Dunnes Stores designers said it is "drenched in head-to-toe shimmer, this statement waistcoat delivers instant glamour". THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
