Gumtree Reviews 7.474

Absolutely diabolical, scammers ,timewasters galore.
It is not free,it was £29.99 for the first advertisement, thereafter £19.99.

Only used occasionally without out any problems but recently I got a bad report from someone who was so abusive I threatened to call the police. He demanded his money back which I offered but he told a pack of lies in his report of me. Until then I never had a bad report. I emailed Gumtree about this vindictive buyer but guess what never got a reply. This has tainted my reputation on Gumtree and I obviously have no redress.

They took 18 AU$ to sell my car and deleted the ad. They said the ip adress isn’t aussie whereas I was in Brisbane. They don’t answer to emails after and hold my money

So many scammers texting and emailing me, didn’t even get any real buyers contact me on here, I had the vehicle listed for 3+ months, plus having to pay fees of $100+

Other free website and app were much better

Dnt know why gumtree has such bad reviews, having nightmares selling my transit especially with autotrader when i payed them 56 quid for and advert and i got 100 reviews in a month wich is poooorrrr, gumtree took 35 pounds for a feautured add and it had 300 views in a fortnight and sold within that time, fanatstic, would rather pay my adds with gumtree👍

Don't trust anything on gumtree. Full of scammers how they getting away with makes you think ?????

This site as an absolute joke. My ad keeps mysteriously disappearing without a valid explanation.

First time on Gumtree
Sold my Golf Buggy to first viewer
Cash is King

I've been scammed againg by gumtree this time they will be reported I used my last £20 to advertise a dog in need of a home nothing wrong with the ads content I just received an email saying my ad has been removed telling me about this and that but there's nothing in my ad but

clean straight forward advert.

£20 is a rip off as it is will be seeking legal representation of am not being refunded my ad was up for a few hours only. If they do the same to you report them to the overseas business regulator. Avoid do not trust them low down scammers how dare they scamming the Brits my bank is getting involved

Very poor online selling platform.

After spending about 15 minutes writing out my ad for my van and uploading 20:picturesm I submitted the ad and it was I stantly banned for no reason. Just banned. Nothing was against any rules. Gumtree sucks. I see why gumtree is a failure of a site when you can't even sell a van. Terrible site. Just avoid it. Go to a competitor because it's just easier.

It's alright. Bit slow on selling and a lot of time wasters.

Used the platform to sell a car. All you get are fake buyers trying to scam you into buying their HPI report.
Will never use again as it’s a total waste of time.

Absolute garbage app, fake buyers, time wasters and chancers.

Never listed on Gumtree before. I posted one ad and was banned from the platform without explanation. Bizarre.

A dreadful experience. I posted an advert on Gumtree to give away our Ibach piano. Within three days, three people expressed interest and I provided details of the piano's location to two of them, so they could obtain estimates for cost of it's removal. On the third day, the first responder, who we were giving priority to, messaged to say our advert had been deleted and was the piano still available? That was a great surprise, as I had not deleted it. She then messaged again, to say she wanted the piano and could arrange collection the following week. I replied to both messages, but it became clear my messages were not being passed on to her. I have since received further messages from her and the third person, who also wanted the piano. But still my replies are not getting through to them. On investigation, I found my advert had been Removed, as distinct from Deleted, so say for breaking posting rules and the website said an email had been sent to explain why. However, I received no such email. I then tried to contact Gumtree Support. No telephone number, just a Live Chat, on which Monisha apologized, said this had to be referred to some higher authority and I would get an answer in 24 hours. Think I must have been conversing with a robot, as almost instantly I received an email from Monisha saying the issue had been reviewed, the initial decision upheld, my account would remain restricted and, if I posted any other adverts, they would be automatically removed and any money paid would not be refunded! But still no explanation of what exactly I had allegedly done to breach their rules. I sent an email yesterday and have yet to receive a reply, or any acknowledgement of my complaint. This farce also impacts the three who replied to our advert, who are wasting their time and effort, totally unaware of what has happened and no doubt will wrongly think I have misled them.

been on gumtree years yet recentlyit has started to delete all my posts saying it goes against their rules,,, emailed gumtree and never had a reply, so screw yu gumtree ile go elswhere

The gumtree app is absolute garbage. I only use gumtree a couple of times a year to sell the odd item. The last 2 times I've experienced issues with the app. 1st time it wouldn't accept my postcode for listing where the item is located. Then it did accept it but kept reverting back to original incorrect postcode. The 2nd time tonight the chat feature just keeps trying to load constantly then says "something went wrong". It's not my Internet as every other app and website works fine on my phone. It's the same on WiFi and on 5G data. Terrible user experience

So I go to collect a uplighter at 2 Branklyn Crescent, Glasgow from a million pound house.

I try to give the women £15 as agreed she asks for £20 I call her stupid Gumtree close my account.

Like a lot of once useful organisations it's all over for Gumtree.

Not deserve for 1 star. Robbery

Posted an add 13 days ago and it’s still under review, they quickly took the money from my bank £39.98 but the add has never went live an nobody has responded to my 3 emails that l have sent over this time. Absolutely shocking, and l will be looking into taking this further.
