I used to go straight to John Lewis when I wanted to buy something for my son, now I automatically go to The Octopus Club first.

I've been a member since I was pregnant, my son is now a toddler and I know I've saved over £1500 by using The Octopus Club. I’m a self-confessed addict and my friends (and husband) will tell you so!

  • Step 2:
    Send your items

    Use a courier or post your (clean!) items to the proseller. They will snap pics, arrange bundles, and draft listings for your approval.
  • Step 3:
    Kick back

    Now your reseller handles the rest while you wait for your portion of the proceeds (50% of the final price, after platform fees) to hit your bank account at the end of the month.
