Some glamorous items will soon be making their way to new owners via eBay delivery services, after Kim Kardashian put dozens of items from her wardrobe up for sale on the website.

The reality star is selling designer dresses, shoes, jumpers, tops and much more after her rapper boyfriend Kanye West dismissed her old clothes and paid for the socialite to renew her closet with some new garments.

It is not just Kim who is taking the opportunity to clear out her wardrobe via eBay, with sister Kourtney putting some of her maternity wear and tops on sale and her partner Scott Disick listing various jackets and shirts.

Shoppers can browse through items from a host of well-known names in the range, including DKNY, Hugo Boss, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and Ted Baker.

Several bids have already surpassed the $100 (£63) mark, with two items from Kourtney Kardashian - a Rachel Pally patterned maxi dress and a Rory Beca multi-coloured spaghetti strap dress - attracting bids of more than $300.

The sale will help to raise money for a good cause, with a portion of the proceeds going to Life Change Community Church.

Many unusual items have been sold on eBay this year, including a sequinned Prada dress that was custom-made for actress Carey Mulligan, who wore the garment to the Met Gala event in New York.

The dress quickly attracted lots of attention, reaching a price of over £600 with more than a week of bidding to go.

Some listings have not proved quite as successful, such as plastic bottles that claimed to contain 'atmosphere' from the London 2012 Olympic Games, put up for sale in an attempt to cash in on the sense of national pride and excitement generated by the event.

One vendor even attempted to sell a crumpled tissue that had supposedly been used to wipe a seat in the Olympic Stadium during the opening ceremony.
