Gumtree Ireland Reviews 9

Gumtree Ireland used to be good. Now it's completely complicated, non user friendly. It's boring and totally unimaginative. Unless it's overhauled it's done.
Gumtree north Ireland is much easier to navigate and more interesting. Not for me anymore.

Ever since this company changed hands its been a slippery slide to the bottom. Now each job or for sale item’s called listing with no location etc!!!

Dont waste your time or money! Only scammers with fake cheques contact you. Waste of time!
Do these scammers really think we are all stupid!

Full of scammers and zero support from gumtree. Avoid at all costs

Gumtree scumbags only accept fake adverts if your adverts are removed that's because it probably was genuine you need a good scam which includes criminal activity fraud to be allowed on gumtree don't forget a foreign name even if its fake that will definitely help to get your adverts published

I currently have an employee telling me that gumtree have the right to request your GPS location for an advertisement and the right to post dogs microchip numbers publicly. The employee has also stated that they can access the dog and owner information which we all know is data protected.
There's a policy in place if you advertise a dog you must provide GPS location and microchip... Wonder why the theft of dogs has gone through the roof? What's stopping these people from looking up a dog.. cloning chip number and locating the dog from the advertisement? Iv asked to speak to a supervisor due to these outrageous remarks and I'm being refused and threatened to not allowed to use the site if I don't do what I'm told and accept these conditions.
Several dogs are advertised with no chip number which apparently is against the rules and also fake chip numbers posted. Yes it's law in Ireland to have your dog chipped but where in this law does it state gumtree have the right to post the number and demand private locations and information and tell users they can obtain it anyway?
Madness

free .. just be careful.. verydirect

Scumtree! They don't care about loyal customers they favour scammers! Adoid at all costs

Won't be using this website again for sure. Complete joke.
I tried to post today a phone for sale. I had to check my email in order to activate the add. When I clicked on the given link it kept showing me the message "Oops, the ad you are looking for is not yet live. Check back very soon!"
I tried a few times and when I saw it's still the same error, I tried posting it again. Same add, same photos, just using a different email address, thinking there's something wrong with the one I used the first time. Still didn't work, same error showing up. So I gave up.
A few hours later I received an email saying my add has been removed for violating the site policies: "Gumtree prohibits listing the same ad [...] over and over again to gain more exposure."
I wasn't even aware that my add has been posted and I was not trying to gain more exposure, just trying to post an add to sell my phone!!!
