The Beckhams donated more than 20 boxes of clothes to the Red Cross
Money raised by the sale will help victims of Typhoon Haiyan
Victoria has spoken out encouraging others to donate to the cause
Less charitably, some of the pieces sold have already been listed on eBay
They gave more than 20 boxes of clothes, bags and shoes in an attempt to raise money for victims of Typhoon Haiyan but pieces from David and Victoria Beckham's bumper donation have already ended up in less scrupulous hands.
Just hours after the Red Cross shop selling the Beckhams' donations opened, items from the sale are already listed on eBay.
Among them are a tuxedo that belonged to the former England footballer and a pair of Dolce & Gabbana shoes that were once owned by his wife.

Choice: The shoes, in a rainbow of colourful shades, line the shelves of the Kensington Red Cross shop
Many of the pieces also have reserve prices that far outstrip that charged by the charity shop, with the tuxedo offered for a minimum £300 - far higher than the £75 needed to buy it.
The original sale, which opened this morning, saw fans queue around the block in a bid to get their hands on items owned by the superstar couple.

Despite the less-than-honourable intentions of some shoppers, inside the scene was one of good natured chaos as shoppers fought to get their hands on the choicest designer goods.
But those who wanted to get their hands on pieces from Victoria's current wardrobe were left disappointed as most of the garments dated from her WAG days.
Also included in the sale were pieces that were worn during her Spice Girls career including a slashed-front LBD, a tight black T-shirt emblazoned with the word 'POSH' and an oatmeal hoodie with 'Spice Girls' picked out in black across the back.

The couple also donated their famous matching Dickensian outfits worn at the Venice Film Festival in 2006.
Posting photos of her piles of discarded clothes ahead of the giveaway on her Twitter page, Victoria wrote: 'Proud to support @BritishRedCross #ShopDrop Donating clothes for #Haiyan survivors.'
Victoria, who is said to have spent the weekend sorting through her wardrobe, urged others to follow her example and donate their old clothes.
