'Unwanted' gifts still in their WRAPPING paper are being touted on eBay with no suggestion as to what's inside (some for upwards of £50)

• Online shoppers have spotted wrapped and unwanted Christmas presents

• Many offer no information as to what the still wrapped packages contain

• Some of the piles of presents are listed as 'unwanted presents for ladies'

• The stacks of gifts are being sold for as little as £1 on some websites

Online bidding sites mean it's easier than ever to dispose of unwanted Christmas presents - but it seems some people have no intention of even opening their gifts.

Scores of Britons are flogging their unwanted Christmas gifts - many of which are still in their wrapping paper - online, despite having no idea what's inside.

The opportunist Facebook and eBay users have no information on what the colourfully wrapped presents actually contain, despite some charging as much as £50 for the festive lucky dip.

It's unclear why the gifts have been put up for sale, although touting them online is one way for internet users to make some quick cash after the expensive festive period.

One Gloucestershire-based seller, whose rating is 100 per cent positive, posted a photo of a stack of large presents they're touting with a price tag of £12.

They are described as '10 quality wrapped unwanted Christmas gifts/ presents for a lady' with no further information.

Another seller described their haul as a 'must see' despite no indication as to what could be inside the brightly-wrapped presents.

And one brazen seller put a whole stocking full of 23 children's presents - still wrapped - up for auction with a suggested price of £54.99.

A recent poll by Voucher Codes suggested more than one in 10 - 13 per cent - of Brits secretly return anything they don't like and swap it for something 'decent'.
