Despite selling most items on FB Marketplace, I still list them on Gumtree as well and occasionally sell here. Interestingly, it's often the higher value items, like my caravan, the sell on Gumtree.... See more

I have had to check not just my email…
I have had to check not just my email lately, but also my Gumtree message site. I have submitted my complaint & they have contacted me to let me know that it's being looked into. So whilst my buyer -Elva - deserved a 5 start rating, whatever is going on with the site has cost me customers & caused a lot more contacting. Not just me to the potential buyer, but also from them to me. I know as they've told me what they've tried to send that doesn't go through.
Up to the last month, I would have given a 4 stars rating, but until this issue is resolved I reckon a 2 start rating is generous due to all of our time wasted.
