Wasted hours trying to list an item and… Wasted hours trying to list an item and ad never appeared. Tried over several weeks to no avail. Now I've read other reviews re scammers etc. I'm glad I didn't pursue it further!

Phishing 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

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!!

TROLLING So many people claiming they are interested in what you're selling. Then hack your account giving your advertisement a horrid title. Same, yet different people asking EXACTLY THE SAME QUESTIONS, lie to you when they go to pick an item up. Then try to blame the seller for not showing up when they were never there to start with.

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
