Be cautious of buyers requesting to use 'Gumtree delivery' or 'Payments on Gumtree' as these services are not offered by Gumtree. Be wary of scam attempts through Whatsapp or SMS messages.
Always access Gumtree through gumtree.com and avoid clicking on links from unknown users.
Share clear photos and ask detailed questions about items you are buying or selling to ensure transparency.
If an advertisement or reply seems too good to be true, it likely is.
Use the 'Reply to ad' button to protect your safety and privacy.
Avoid replying to email addresses embedded in images or text.
Arrange in-person trades when possible, and use PayPal's 'paying for an item or service' option for secure transactions.
Be vigilant against fake Gumtree, eBay, or escrow websites and fraudulent invoices.
