Wasted hours trying to list an item and… Wasted hours trying to list an item and ad never appeared. Tried over several weeks to no avail. Now I've read other reviews re scammers etc. I'm glad I didn't pursue it further!

A big mess Update 21/04 1) I think gumtree is well aware of the scam situation, and they probably get something in exchange to keep things like that. Even because this is not a recent problem. 2) They made an account on my behalf, without my permission. i found out a profile on a mail that i never used on their website. 3) If you want to close your account you have to send a message to their customer service, and they'll ask you to send back a bunch of absurd infos (you'll never remember all of them). 4) It's impossible to deactivate the button "Allow to track my activity across other companies apps and websites" under privacy. everytime you save and refresh the page, it goes back on active

Strange people.. lol Not sure on what these people are complaining about, I've been a member for over 7 years and never had problem, not once. Especially if you want to sell, much easier to post ad and actually profit from your sales unlike eBay or Amazon. Anyways, great platform, well at least for me.

Don't pay to advertise your vehicle Paid for Gumtree recommended advertising package to sell our vehicle, what a rip-off. Ran an unpaid ad at the same time with similar results. Gumtree is the home of scammers wanting e-mails address to acces your computer at a rate of 10 to 1 of genuine inquiries. Reporting scammers to Gumtree does nothing and they give members no control to block these scammers. Gumtree is just getting too greedy and are a fifth rate site to Facbook MarketPlace. Unfortunately these are the only two effective selling sites on the net but Gumtree is going the way of the Dodo.
