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

The Scam Jamm They are wide open to scams! I listed a high value item, then receiving notification my item had sold only to find this idiot stupid enough to not realize his scam went wide open to the public. This fool fought so hard to attain all my details but got him in the end of both his location and use of other platforms. Gumtree is the worst experience ever so do yourself a favour and leave well enough alone.

HIGHLY RATED SELLER IS SICK OF SCAMMERS I am a highly rated seller and have been on Gumtree since 2014. Time to act Gumtree!! How about taking some responsibility for the overwhelming ammount of scammers you are allowing on Gumtree. Maybe don't accept any new members unless they have been 100% checked out and BAN g-mail accounts. WAKE UP or you won't have a business in 6 months time!!

Why bother listing an ad if you are just going to delete it randomly? Posted an ad and it got randomly deleted. I provided many photos and a very detailed description.

A big mess Update 21/04 1) I think gumtree is well aware of the scam situation, and they probably get something in exchange to keep things like that. Even because this is not a recent problem. 2) They made an account on my behalf, without my permission. i found out a profile on a mail that i never used on their website. 3) If you want to close your account you have to send a message to their customer service, and they'll ask you to send back a bunch of absurd infos (you'll never remember all of them). 4) It's impossible to deactivate the button "Allow to track my activity across other companies apps and websites" under privacy. everytime you save and refresh the page, it goes back on active
