AUSellng to scammers and other bad people Like others, I would give zero stars to Gumtree if I could. I'm paying for an expensive and ineffective ad that is a magnet to trolls and scammers. Gumtree posts lots platitudes about making it a safe site but no real protections are installed and it relies upon its users to police its site for the bad people. This is cheap and ineffective policy. How about Gumtree developing some smart tracking software that can identify these parasites and follow up with some criminal prosecutions. It cannot be too difficult. In the meantime, until it has better security and safety for users it will deteriorate into a trashy and untrusted site.

AUscammers 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

AUPhishing scam emails - Gumtree does not nothing Phishing scam emails are sent through their own system. They do not respond to any emails ( supposedly within 24 h) - Im still waiting 4 days later. Not alone - see others with same complaint below. These individuals should be removed immediately but gumtree does nothing. Advertise with this site at our own risk

AURubbish security and full of scammers Just full of scammers. Then when my account was compromised, no-one let me know. They just shut it down. Lost my rep. lost my ads. And they could not tell me if my Google credentials had been compromised (log ins via Google).

AUTheir site accepts you rpayment to… Their site accepts you r payment to advertise ($39 for cars) Then the ad wont load, you cannot contact them! The live chat is always busy 24/7, no phone numbers to ring and they never respond to the emails (5 so far!) Typical dodgy large corporate, Gumtree used to be great until ebay and the slick harvard boys in armani suits took over!
