Posting on social media, the content creator who posts under the username 'Resell Republic', gave an insight into how he earns cash, leaving many totally stunned. As he entered a Superdrug store, he said: 'Why on earth would you work 40 hours a week for somebody else's business, when you can make a full-time wage reselling retail products?' He then advised: 'Stop being stupid, stop selling your life for a quick paycheck and watch this.' The bargain hunter then shared how he earns money through retail arbitrage, which involves reselling products for profit. The process, which is completely legal in the UK, involves reselling items through Amazon FBA - an online service sellers can use where Amazon takes care of the storing, packing and shipping of products. The man headed straight to Superdrug's clearance section, where he emptied the shelves of Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF Sun Cream, which had been heavily discounted. The reseller then confirmed: 'We've got this sun cream reduced to £7, so we give it a scam with BuyBotGo - we're gonna sell it on Amazon for £17.99 and that's gonna leave £4.22 profit per unit, which is over a 60% return on investment.' As he headed to the till, he then added: 'So we've done the hard part, we've sourced the products, now we just need to purchase them - make sure you're using a rewards card to maximise your profits, and then we're gonna send them in the next box to the Amazon warehouse tonight. 'And then once that's done, I don't have to do anything else - once they sell, Amazon staff will send them out for me and I can focus on sourcing more and more products.' I've made £18k on Vinted & a hack means I don't have to hunt for bits I've sold Social media users react The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @resellrepublic_, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 256,100 views. It's also amassed 6,413 likes, 589 comments and 1,962 saves. If it was that easy we would all be doing it TikTok user But social media users were stunned by the man's claims and flocked to the comments to criticise his side hustle. One person said: 'Clearing out the shelves so normal people can't buy affordable things, great idea.' 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. Another added: 'Basically ripping people off, nobody in their right mind would pay 18 quid for suncream!!!!!' A third commented: 'Waste of time, too much effort.' Meanwhile, someone else wrote: 'If it was that easy we would all be doing it.' At the same time, one user penned: 'Now wait three years for them to sell.'

I made £550 in 48 hours reselling clothes but NOT on Vinted – I found a platform where sellers get the full asking price
VINTED is arguably the most popular platform for reselling. But one side hustle pro has insisted it's "completely died off" for her, and said there's a new platform she's using instead.

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.

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%."

I turned £10 into £10k after easy Facebook Marketplace side hustle blew up... now I'm rubbing shoulders with Premier League stars But she hasn't had much luck on Vinted - even after paying for the wardrobe spotlight feature.
