There are plenty of great Christmas traditions – carols, pudding and getting crap Christmas presents from that annoying uncle who doesn’t realise you’re not 12 anymore.

But appears Australians have found a solution to the problem of unwanted gifts; flog them on eBay.

According to The Age, a staggering 126,500 new items were listed on eBay on Boxing Day and almost one million items have been listed since Christmas.

Gadgets, including cameras, MP3 players and video games, have been among the most popular items to sell.
