The account was blocked with no clear explanation. I was trying to create an ad with item's photo made by myself. No delivery and online payment required. Collection only. Three times my ad was rejected just for no reason. They can't even provide normal feedback.

I have had the same mobile number since 2008. Since then I have only had ONE marketing call (if you exclude the flood from my previous network provider which made me switch away from them when they didn't stop when instructed). Two days ago I posted an ad up on Gumtree for the first time. In the two days since I have had FIVE calls on my mobile used on the ad - all from jerks who want to offer me support for "my accident I have suffered in the last 5 years." Maybe a coincidence, but I strongly doubt it - enough so as to Post this Review online so as to warn others to think carefully before allowing anyone (especially Gumtree) to have your PRIVATE mobile number. Gumtree have a system whereby you only get to see the full number if you login to the site (even as a buyer). Clearly - in my opinion - wasters who 'ambulance chase' either create login IDs to allow them to harvest mobile numbers, OR, Gumtree don't obfuscate private telephone numbers as well as they would have you believe. I had a quick peek online regarding the wisdom of placing an ad on Gumtree, including one's mobile phone number. I wish I'd done that BEFORE uploading mine on that ad!!! Clearly I am not alone. Apparently the wise way is to list the ad with ONLY a contact email address - and one that is dedicated to Gumtree as opposed to one's main email address. Hopefully this review will help anyone considering Gumtree as a place to sell something.

Beware, if selling, email address sometimes used by scammers, likewise phone number - at least the email address is hidden - unlike your phone number. Apart from this I have had no problems at all.

BEWARE ALLOWING CHILDREN ACCESS TO THIS SITE... As long as you are comfortable having your legal rights trampled on and the occasional illegal activity this is almost a good site... just do NOT expect ANY positive action when you receive abusive behaviour from listers (becoming too common) and report such to Gumtree; they happily continue to allow inappropriate and some illegal activity to continue EVEN in breach of their OWN terms and conditions AFTER repeatedly noticed. Their handling (mis-handling?) of fraud issues is to just fob you off to the police; FORGET any OTHER consumer law agencies; TOO many if their staff are indifferent/ignorant of Consumer Law (ever heard if Trading Standards Gumtree?) This behaviour wouldn't be allowed on the high street; indeed, even government level agencies are looking at the behaviour of on-line companies... of which Gumtree is.
