# What to sell from home > Every category we cover, from trading cards to house clearance finds, with the setups, packaging and live Whatnot demand for each. ## Choosing what to sell Start with stock you already understand. A card collector can judge a corner by eye and spot a fake holo; a newcomer pays for that knowledge in returns and refunds. Vintage denim, trainers and coins work the same way: knowing the stock earns you more than any kit on this site. Then look at the size and weight of a typical sale. Cards, coins and jewellery fit a Large Letter, so postage stays low and one desk drawer holds a month of packaging. Homeware, boxed toys and camping gear go as parcels, need boxes and void fill, and take over a corner of the room. Check Royal Mail's current size guide before you price anything. Next, think about how buyers shop for it. Collectibles sell well live, because buyers want to see the card turn under the light and bid against each other. Clothing sells on photos and search: a buyer filters by size and brand, scrolls, and decides in a minute. Choose the stock first, then the platform. Finally, count your hours. A cheap paperback and a designer jacket take about the same time to photograph, list and pack. Low-price stock pays in volume or bundles; high-price stock pays per order but ties up your cash for longer. ## Reading the cards Each card shows how many of our setups cover that category and, where Whatnot UK has a matching browse category, how many people were watching live shows in it at the last capture. Viewers measure attention on one platform at one moment. Use them to compare categories and to pick which ones to look at closer; they don't forecast sales.

Your sorting and storage set your profit. - [Wholesale, job lots and pallets](https://sellersetups.com/sell/wholesale) (1 setup, 3800 watching on Whatnot): Job lots, liquidation stock and returns pallets bought in bulk, then split into single sales. Your margin is set by the price you pay for the lot. - [House clearances and storage units](https://sellersetups.com/sell/storage-units) (1 setup, 3200 watching on Whatnot): Abandoned storage units, house clearance finds and mystery lots, sorted and resold piece by piece. - [Outdoors](https://sellersetups.com/sell/outdoors) (1 setup, 3500 watching on Whatnot): Tents, walking boots, fishing tackle and camping kit.

Most of it is heavy or oddly shaped, so price the postage before the item. ## Questions ### What sells well from home in the UK? Small, light stock with a decent price per item suits a spare room: trading cards, coins, jewellery and branded clothing. Each one fits a Large Letter or small parcel and stores in a drawer or on a rail. The Whatnot figures on this page show where live buyers are watching today. ### Can I sell more than one category? Yes. Pair your main category with a second one that shares the same packaging, such as cards with comics, or vintage clothing with handbags. Shared packaging keeps your stock of mailers small and your reorders simple. ### Do I need to register as a business? Selling unwanted things from your own home is not trading. Buying stock to resell for profit usually is, and HMRC expects you to register for Self Assessment once your trading income passes the trading allowance. Check HMRC's current guidance before your first full year. ### Are some items banned from sale? Every platform keeps its own list of prohibited and restricted items, and Royal Mail has a separate list of things you can't post, including some batteries, aerosols and perfumes. Check both lists before you buy a new kind of stock. ### How do I pick packaging for my category? Open the category page. Each one lists a packing method, the packaging we use and the usual postage service, and the packaging builder works out how much you need for your weekly orders.
