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).

Their site accepts you rpayment to… Their site accepts you r payment to advertise ($39 for cars) Then the ad wont load, you cannot contact them! The live chat is always busy 24/7, no phone numbers to ring and they never respond to the emails (5 so far!) Typical dodgy large corporate, Gumtree used to be great until ebay and the slick harvard boys in armani suits took over!

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

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.
