Posted a very urgent ad for my boat in Australia, got message saying that the ad was confirmed and would be active in a few hours. Received no further communication from Gumtree, found out for myself when it was way too late that the ad was never posted because I posted it from overseas, never mind that the item and the contact were in Australia. Apparently it is too difficult for them to even set up an automated message to inform me that there was a problem and allow me to make other arrangements.
