Neg 100 gumtree has turned extremely bad So gumtree tells me my new account was blocked for no reason This was my response to their email... Oh ok. Funny i had an account (which i deactivated last year) for several years. But gumtree seems to be ok with scammers on there. The only 5 different messages i received for my items were all scammers which i reported and nothing gets done about them. But me being a legit person with legit reasons to sell my items gets punished. That's ok tho. I will just take my items to another place to sell. Thanks for letting me know I am blocked and no longer have the account so saves me the headache of deleting my items and the time i would waste on your app. Have a nice day

Rubbish security and full of scammers Just full of scammers. Then when my account was compromised, no-one let me know. They just shut it down. Lost my rep. lost my ads. And they could not tell me if my Google credentials had been compromised (log ins via Google).

Sellng to scammers and other bad people Like others, I would give zero stars to Gumtree if I could. I'm paying for an expensive and ineffective ad that is a magnet to trolls and scammers. Gumtree posts lots platitudes about making it a safe site but no real protections are installed and it relies upon its users to police its site for the bad people. This is cheap and ineffective policy. How about Gumtree developing some smart tracking software that can identify these parasites and follow up with some criminal prosecutions. It cannot be too difficult. In the meantime, until it has better security and safety for users it will deteriorate into a trashy and untrusted site.

HIGHLY RATED SELLER IS SICK OF SCAMMERS I am a highly rated seller and have been on Gumtree since 2014. Time to act Gumtree!! How about taking some responsibility for the overwhelming ammount of scammers you are allowing on Gumtree. Maybe don't accept any new members unless they have been 100% checked out and BAN g-mail accounts. WAKE UP or you won't have a business in 6 months time!!

scammers central every single reply i have had whilst selling a laptop on gumtree ,has been a pathetic scammer ,i report them.....nothing is done EVER!!!!gumtree is as useless as ever,you can't block the scammers,i have never ever sold anything on gumtree ,the only advantage is gumtree attracts the dumbest scammers around,only reason i haven't closed my account is im old an i get bored so playing mind games with scammers pass my idle time,doesn't present much of a challenge though as these so called scammers use the exact same message every single time,i would give gumtree minus stars but i can't if i could it would be 10- stars
