Want to sell some of your items online? Don't waste your time. I put up an add for a Nintendo switch only for it to be pulled the moment I uploaded it. Why you ask? Well god only knows since they failed to provide a reason apparently an email was sent to me explaining why but that was just a lie.

Since fees started for selling. It has become obvious that gumtree is dead. I lead for $1.50. I had great success with other free platforms. Will not be using gumtree again

Third rate customer service provided by this third rate company. They take your money from your bank account and then do not allow you to post your add. You have to constantly chase them up to refund your money. They do not respond to emails and the live chat service they offer is mostly off line. Stay away from this unprofessional company!!!

Does anyone else find the Gumtree app useless. Can't choose by price. Won't accept searches. Have I just got a bad version?

I listed an Amazon Tv Firestick for sale and had 14 emails asking "is this still available" but not one of the people had any intention of buying it !

My experience is Lots of time wasters and chancers trying to get vast amounts off. 1 message then nothing else, plus not turning up etc It is a draining waste of time.

A person who did not buy anything from me left poor feedback claiming that I 'cancelled order' when I offered the item to him though no reply from him. Just a wrong system!!!

Gum tree has no policy to help buyers. Be very a where if you want a refund gum tree will not help you. Gum tree very in safe when it comes to refunds. Always use Paypal, never use direct debit or credit card

Scum... should be banned. Flog your personal data within seconds to scammers. So called data protection means sod all to gumtree.

Gumtree turned out to be the worst, prepare yourself: pay the fee for feature your advert, give your number as contact , too. Fasten your seatbelt, because only takes several seconds to get the first call from fastest scammer/telemarketer. 13 calls in 30 minutes, thanks for not protected phone number. For the extra fee, you paid , gumtree will guarantee to expose your number as much scammer , as possible. GumTree : protect contact numbers and run live chat customer service again. ( or is it well hidden?, can find in half an hour. )

Ideas great! Gumtree great! What idiot designed the app? Never able to access the site. Constantly bombarded with cookies. Advertisements. Confirm this accept that. I can't actually access the gumtree. All I get is cookies constantly asking me to accept them. So I don't use this site no more as its not possible. Do they not check there apps?

Great site When You Get A Decent person / buyer. The problem is the majority of users are absolute dotes who enquire with no intention whatsoever of buying from you and just intentionally waste your time! People even arrange to view or buy things from you and then don't turn up.. and they can then leave you negative feedback! Feedback system needs to be removed or altered entirely.. People who don't buy anything off you can leave you should not be able to leave feedback.. Could you imagine this on eBay. It destroys reputable businesses!

I have posted a few ads recently and have had quite a few responses. However, the majority of responses i have had have been time wasters. They ask if its available, arrange to collect and then don't turn up. And when you message to find out what's happening they ignore and don't get back to you. There should be something in place to keep a track if the people who do this. Also, I have a response rating of 78% but I reply to EVERY message i get, which I am very confused about.

Today I went to pick up a Britax car seat (46 mile round trip) which was rated 'as new' and 'accident free', 'only used by grandparents a couple of times'. I went to view it & it looked ok so I bought it. When I got home I took the cover off (which had obviously been washed as it smelt all over of some sort of strong detergent?!) It had a rip in the cushioning and was very mottled/stained. The car seat was also abit dirty with crumbs etc. under the cover and in the crevices. I contacted the lady that sold it to me to let her know I was quite disappointed and felt I had been mislead, and asked if I could have a refund. The lady told me the seat might have been picked by a child.. then told me it wasn't like that when she sold it to me and I had probably ripped it myself. The lady refused to refund me instantly and said she wont take it back.

Hi I really wanted to share my experience of trying to selling items via Gumtree. I would advise no one to sell any valuable items via your site. It was one of the worst experiences I have had using an online app. I am dumbfounded by the amount of con-artists, scammers and fraudsters that are on there trying to scam money out of me... I was trying to sell my new i-phone and have never experienced something so draining and actually one of the worst customer experiences. I can't believe that you still have not put any measures in place to protect customers or brought in security tools to authentic your users. I have had over 100 messages and over 90% on them trying every trick in the book to get money from me whether that be asking for my bank details, personal paypal info, share my work screen, passwords, googlehangout, credit card info... It's an absolute joke and it's lucky i'm switched on and don't fool for this type of crazy. I would imagine thousands of your customers are getting robbed.. You have a duty of care to put measures in place to protect customers???? It's really not difficult to authentic your users.... Explain yourselves????? Is it greed.....???

I had one successful sale but with the further two items I am becoming very suspicious of the standard ‘ is this item still for sale ‘ message relayed , which on being confirmed never gets a further reply . It’s free but only because they know they will draw many into making a further payment to boost (?) advert !

A puppy was advertised on gumtree which when we went to see it, was not the one advertised. Clearly there is no vetting people wishing to advertis.which I understand. However PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT PAY ANY MONEY for a pet until you have seen it. We have hustle had a terrible experience. Sorry gumtree but things advertising needs to be reviewed.
