“I like Gumtree”

Robert S.
4/24/17

Very surprised by the criticism of Gumtree, I like the site, bought about 5 items of seller's on there, never had a problem, also got a few jobs from there & i think a rental property once. I like it, as it's like Freeads (the paper) I used to buy, but it's free & there's pictures. Not sure all these negative posts are genuine.

“Scam”

It's clearly a scam. I've posted 4 adds for the same thing (selling my puppies) I've paid over $28 each and everytime I've tried posting my adds and the ads still arnt on the page no matter who I get to check or where I look. I've tried reaching customer survives and have gotten no reply. Very clearly a scam website. Do not try and sell here unless you've got deep pockets

Constantly allows advertisement's from back yard breeders members of back yard registries. The only true pet breeders are members of either of ANCK or there state equivalent. These people are breaking your own pricing rules. No more than $500 to be charged.

It never stays up long enough!

The app is crap!

I can't go on

It truly is a rubbish site that just doesn't work - do yourself a favour and buy a local paper or use Loot if that's still around

No help whatsoever available! No phone number, jabberish notes coming up when you are trying to initiate Chat, simplest FOR SALE ad not going through for mysterious reasons, all I want is to help an elderly friend sell her settee. They can check phone numbers, for God's sake! Tried to email them to explain the problem, the site wouldn't accept the email. It really beggars belief! The pits.

Someone needs to shut down gumtree.com, they are a useless site, they are spying on my conversations and repeating word for word what i said to another user who scammed me off some money, they also did nothing to get my money from that user, they have no staff on hand to assist anyone, utter rubbish their site is, why on earth do people use them? Go to http://www.viewmediaclassifiedservices.org.uk/, its a much better site than gumtree and their staff are very friendly and helpful all the time, View Media Classified is 100% better than gumtree.

I recently had a professional web site builder place an ad on gumtree for me and then I paid an extra $10 to gumtree to put my ad at the top for 7 days and when my 7 days was up they said my ad was deleted for no reason whatsoever. When I protested I got no response at all. The product is an electronic security product and is completely legit. I have the same ad on e-bay and they have found no problem with my ad. I only sold one unit off gumtree so they did me a service by deleting me. The site is a waste of time and I have found it is better to spend a bit of money on professional sites.

We placed an advert on their website for our custom banner printing service, http://www.custom.uk.net/5-custom-banners for 30 days. The advert was to sell our custom printed products. We sell hundreds of these items every week via other popular sites and from our own website. We were hoping to appeal to a larger audience and chose gumtree. They currently have a TV advert running and thought is was a well known brand. The advert did not bring in any sales. Gumtree market themselves well for sellers but does very little to promote it's services to buyers. Ebay and amazon on the other hand market to both seller and buyers. I asked Gumtree for a partial refund and they declined. If you want to sell something, pay the extra and use ebay.
