Be cautious of buyers requesting to use 'Gumtree delivery' or 'Payments on Gumtree' as Gumtree currently does not offer these services. Requests via WhatsApp or SMS may be scams.
Only access Gumtree through gumtree.com and avoid following links from other users.
Share photos and ask detailed questions about items when buying or selling.
If an ad or reply seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Use the 'Reply to ad' button to protect your safety and privacy.
Avoid replying to email addresses embedded in texts or images.
Arrange in-person trades and use PayPal's 'paying for an item or service' option for transfers.
Be vigilant against fake Gumtree, eBay, or escrow sites and invoices.
