Gumtree Reviews

full of scammers and spam, this site puts trackers and shit on your pc so that when you use a VPN this shit doesn't work...absolutely rubbish! the website is exactly like many of its users. Rubbish

Nobody respond. My emails are repeatedly ignored, no matter how many times I follow up. There seems to be no one willing to actually deal with the issue. Absolutely useless customer service and a complete waste of time. Avoid.

Someone left me poor feedback as I didnt want to sell him my car due to a low ball offer. He didnt even come out to see it. i got in touch with gumtree who reviewed comms & said they agreed the poor feedback was unfair & stated it had been removed..weeks later its still showing poor feedback.

VERY silly, and what benefit for anyone? Except them. They say they pay it out once the sale is collected and the buyer confirms this. They say that the buyer carrying cash is a hassle - really?? I can see loads of problems here eg the buyer decides after collecting that they don't really want it, payment delayed, or refused. Any sale can be shown, tested etc by the buyer, and the seller has the cash. I shall make sure that the buyer pays me- or no sale. OR NO Gumtree. NO DOUBT Gumtree wants to be part of the sale and collect a share... AVOID!!

Edited from 1 to 4 stars after I received response and ads were reinstated after a few helpful emails from Gumtree. Have since sold a few items. Only downside is the ridiculously low offers some people send (but that's not Gumtrees fault). Original post below: Only gave one star as zero wasn't an option. Used a few years ago and had no problems, and would actually have recommended them, however it seems to be now literally a waste of time. I spent a couple of hours taking photos and posting items. One item went on fine yesterday, received confirmation and had several views logged. Went on to post more today, all of which were fine and received confirmation of posting emails for all except one that seemed to be on stuck on 'processing' so after a couple of hours decided to repost it in case there was an issue. Every single one of my 6 current posts have "ad has been removed". No explanation, no message. Looked on the help section (which is no help whatsoever) and it states that an email would explain the issue. It states you can repost at any time so tried one, it was removed immediately. If there's an issue with my profile, then let me know. Don't just let people wonder what the problem is and spend ages trying to get in touch with you (and definitely don't set expectations about sending out communications when you have no intentions of doing so).

We like Gumtree overall and sell quite a few bits & pieces on there, however, we believe it has two MAJOR flaws. 1. If someone does not show up, in order to warn other sellers, we will give a 1* review stating that. The buyer will then often just reciprocate with a 1* review saying 'Rude'. Gumtree are unable and / or unwilling to do anything about this. 2. If you have several things listed and go on holiday, you have to delete EVERYTHING, then, when you return, you have to Repost EVERYTHING. That is a time consuming task, especially when the items you have deleted are not necessarily the first to appear in the 'inactive' list. Would it be such an enormous task to incorporate a 'pause, or away' button like other platforms?
