Hi Chris, We're sorry about the trouble. It might help to note that, generally, messages are removed from our server about six months after they were originally sent. Once they have been removed, we don't unfortunately have the option to recover them for you.

That said, if you are referring to newer messages, please contact our Helpdesk so that we can take a look into this:

Invalid contact name?

Gumtree
Gumtree   DM   

Hi Cora, An invalid contact name error might be caused by using "Gumtree" or any variation of that as your name. If this is true for you, please use a computer/browser to sign into your account, navigate to Profile Settings and make the necessary changes there.

If this is not what is showing for you, please contact us via our Helpdesk so we can take a look into this.

I’m trying to post an add and have entered the two prices as required. But is still telling me a price is required. Do you enter as normal $60. Frustrated Kim

Gumtree
Gumtree   DM   

Hi Kim, We're sorry to hear you're having trouble. It might help to note that because the price field will only accept numbers, you'll want to enter it as just 60. Please be sure to omit the dollar sign and any commas/decimals.

If you have any further trouble with this, please feel free to contact our Helpdesk on the link below:

Why am I STILL not being notified of gumtree messages? They show on screen, but no alert. Also the emails ALL go to spam, therefore VERY hard to know when a potential buyer is in touch. I’ve emailed gumtree tech and go ZERO reply

Hi there, I posted an ad, someone inquired about it, I have replied on gumtree messages, but they haven't opened the replies is there a way to find the persons phone number

Tony

Maria, even if they do reply you will probably find them a scam. Gumtree isn't safe anymore and hardly worth using I'm afraid.

Jason L.
Jason L.  

I agree with Tony. Terrible place now. Everyone seems to be a scammer. I had 5 from 5 trying to run a banking scam on me. The platform should be shut down.

Gumtree
Gumtree   DM   

Hi Maria, If the seller doesn't have a number listed in the ad then they have opted to not have it shown publicly. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our Helpdesk:

After you sell something there are a series of boxes you can tick to explain to Gumtree why you are deleting the item. What is the green box that asks "Let other buyers know that this item is no longer available" mean? I never tick the box in case Gumtree sends an email to everybody who looked at the item. I would not want that to happen. Can you explain exactly what happens and who gets notified if that box is ticked please.

Gumtree
Gumtree   DM   

Hi Mal, If you tick the box it will notify everyone who has replied to the ad to let them know that it's no longer available and as you have noted, this is completely optional. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out here:

Why can’t I see a list of previous purchases? This is a basic functionality. Gumtree is becoming more outdated as a platform.

Hello I don't know if Gumtree is having tech issues or if it's a scam. Someone sent me a message and by the time I got to it I couldn't read the message when I clicked on there messages. The copy of the message in my email read as a reasonable reply (asking to post to her location) and on my desktop I was able to view the profile which also seemed reasonable (highly rated, had sold items and was a gummie since 2017 ). I tried to reply that I couldn't read the reply but it said the conversation was reported to gumtree. I just re installed the app and the same issue. As the profile was reported I deleted the conversation but I think the profile was indeed legit.

Reported a scam ad, got blocked by Gumtree! Doesn't make sense to punish those trying to help. What's the point of reporting scams if you get blocked. I thought reporting suspicious activity would help protect users, not lead to retaliation. Can someone explain this to me?

Why do I see "This user is no longer available" on a message I've just been notified to view? Thanks

Sorry - that should be "no longer reachable"

Yes, Gumtree have blocked another scammer, certainly Gumtree is getting better. However, they really need to filter new users as most are scammers.

"The Gumtree Team" - stop telling people to to contact your so-called Helpdesk as the outcome is either no reply or no action taken. Absolutely f'n useless.

What is Gumtree doing about sellers who scam people. Got scammed out of $2,500 by a dodgy seller who sold me a death trap car that is too dangerous and should never have been advertised.

I post an AD on gumtree, there are four buyers send me message. While I wish to reply them , I find they all showed" this user has been blocked" . So it means I am blocked by gumtree or these four buyers were all been blocked? And why it happens? Thanks?

Gumtree
Gumtree   DM   

Hi Susan, It might help to note that these messages were blocked by our team because they originated from accounts we deemed as suspicious. We are proactively putting these measures in place to avoid phishing attempts and to allow for a safer experience for everyone on the site.

I have the same issue. Gumtree blocked a "since 2011" user on me because it seemed suspicious. Now I can't message them. I can spit the scammers from a mile away. This wasn't one. This is what happens when online companies use A.I. instead of real people to police their websites.

Gumtree
Gumtree   DM   

Hi Matty, If you think that our team has blocked someone in error, you can contact our Helpdesk so that they can take a look into this. Please keep in mind that the 2011 account may have been compromised and we are able to see all the messages sent from the account.

That said, please reach out on the link below and we will be happy to assist:
