Gumtree no action towards spam adverts

Gumtree UK charges £2 per business advert in the Home and Garden category and allows spammers to openly post thousands of free adverts. When asked, they simply tell you to use their "report" button to send them to the "Policy Team" which does not exist. The thousands of spam adverts remain live on the site, very easily identifiable, for hours before getting removed. They charge people to post business adverts but cannot afford for ONE staff member to monitor the high risk sections of their website for spam. Take a look at the Home and Garden category any day of the week and you will find hundreds and hundreds of spam adverts. It seems Gumtree is either making money or getting high ratings somehow due to these duplicate adverts or are big enough to no longer care about customer experience on their Home and Garden category. Their support chat/tweets will tell you that they're doing everything they can yet the spam adverts are allowed to stay on for hours. Pathetic service of encouraging spammers to post in large numbers while still charging legitimate businesses. Extremely irresponsible lot!

Gumtree contact

Today I received several calls regarding a car advertising on your site. I was not advertising any car but was advertising for sale other items. The seller was obviously using my mobile number, presumably at random (probably a scam) but this was very frustrating for me as I was at work. When trying to contact Gumtree on an 02 and 08 number, both recommended on your site, for help with this matter I was confronted with various automated options that eventually pointed me to your FAQ page on the website. I don't want options, or a FAQ page, I wanted to TALK TO SOMEONE!
Having now arrived at home trying to again clear this situation up I tried to find an email address for Gumtree but, again, cannot find any address on the net!
Please tell me how I can contact your customer service department via an email address or, preferably, talk to a human being if I have a problem in the future, otherwise you will have one less customer using your website to sell his wares!

Gumtree top ad deleted

Hi.
Do you now longer value your paying client. I have paid for the same ad in the same place before. Once you have burnt your bridge with me it will never be rebuild again. I have already lost 2 days of my TOP AD. The stress you have put me under is so unacceptable. So disappointed and next payment due the 27th. How can I ever trust Gumtree again. One sided and no customer service.
Kind regards

Gumtree gumtree website. terrible user experience

The gumtree website is a terrible user experience the filters under "refine" search just don't work! I'll search for something then click refine and change the price to a certain amount, in my case between £3000 & $7000. Click apply. Click seach. It doesn't work, and if i also change the distance from my location to nationwide the price filter dissapears altogether! and if i try and sort listings by price it doesnt work! Sort it out gumtree, I'm giving up on you! Such a frustrating experience! Hire some good website developers!

This seller has told me directly that he does not care about gumtree and its rules. He has 3-5 accounts that he reposts adverts every day from.
Also his computers have counterfeit software on them. He claims he has an educational licence which is a complete lie because it doesn't authorise you to sell computers with thousands of pounds worth of software on them.
His adverts do get taken down but he will repost later that day or the next.

I am the owner of Minkos Macs and the first two comments are written by another seller on gumtree that has been harassing the company for years. Gumtree and the police have a record of the regular abusive emails we have been left by this seller that I will attach photos of. A lot of these emails have been racially abusive and have included content such as go home to your country and you shouldn't be allowed to run a company in this country as you are not from here etc. The gentleman with the MacBook Air 'Balazs Toth' was told that the item he originally wanted was sold he still attended the store and was happy to purchase a 2011 MacBook Air and knew this was exactly what he was buying. He was than unhappy with the battery time, he was given a brand new battery and was still unhappy with the new battery time, he than wanted the battery replaced for a second time which the company refused as both batteries passed Apples AST diagnostic tests. Balazs Toth was asked to go to apple for them to confirm that the battery condition was actually 'Normal' we never heard from him again and only saw the slanderous reviews online. MARIAM mintah was banned from our stores for verbal abusing staff and having an adware issue rectified once for free already she than again went onto various unsafe movie sights and once again incurred the same adware issue that we charge to resolve however she felt that the service should have been free. Emile Godfrey the last gentlemen had a battery changed in our store and decided to correspond with our employee via his personal email address. They lost communication along the way via the staff members personal email address as my colleagues grandmother had passed away and he had taken time off work. Mr Godfrey did not initially take me to court he took my employee to court as he believe my colleague was the business owner. I than noticed a CCJ against the business around 6 months later and was asked to pay Mr Godfrey a £105 refund which a agreed but Mr Emile Godfrey doubled in price via the means of blackmail which I refused. I will upload all supporting evidence so that these people that wish to vindictively bring this business down can be exposed for the liars that they are and so that people can realise that in running a business mistakes are made however we have integrity in what we do.

The negative reviews are all true. I was sold a fake battery for a MacBook, had to take the owner, Daryl Morgan to court.
When I won the case, he refused to pay me the money. Below is his reply to my request he pay me:

'Go and freebie hunt somewhere else. The judge was racist and no of those emails were provided before hand. I had no evidence and was given less than 5mins to familiarise myself with the situation. You people and your racial profiling constantly disadvantaging people. I do not wish to contribute any longer to this country. Please do as you please & no longer contact me. '

All the negative feedbacks are true. The owner is a psychotic narcissist who only cares about the money. He called me a little girl because I had a software update issue with a laptop I had purchased earlier. They also post misleading ads on gumtree. Should have definitely read the reviews before purchasing from them. Owner is very unprofessional too. Personally attacked me because some apps on the laptop does not work. Told me he would charge me an extra £9 after paying £600 for the MacBook Air. I was also told these apps came with the laptop initially. Please avoid!

-First of all they sent me from Lewisham to Tottenham (90 min drive) for a macbook 2015, and there was a 2011 version waiting for me, annoying. I took it anyway, once traveled that far.
-Of course it came with a faulty battery. They offered me to replace the battery for a new one -it took them exactly two weeks.
-When I came to collect, they gave a charger that didn't match. I took the macbook home, and the battery was also in the same condition as before.
-Now really ennoyed, i went back to the shop again, with the only intention, that I just want my money back. Before I could get in, I waited exactly two hours (from 10 till 12) outside the shop on the street. The guy who meant to open, was late...
-I researched the number of a manager and rung him. He was super rude and argumentative. He said that they are trying to get rid of costumers like me, and people like me, who always want free stuff, should go begging outside the tube station. I wished him good day, and hung up.
-What I have learned: to avoid Minco's Macs, never buy a Mac from a corner shop, and always read the reviews.

I was also ripped off by Minkos Macs, they are a criminal organisation that pretend to be above board, and the vast majority of people believe they are above board simply because they have many shops on the high street, they offer and promise you the products you are looking for at an agreed price, they then package your goods to take home and when you get them home they are not what you bought and paid for, they are usually older machines with illegal Cracked software and they refuse you your Consumer rights when you try to return them for a refund, and think they are above the Law because they have signs up in their shops saying "We do not give refunds" and think that supersedes "The Law" and gives them the right to deny the consumer (YOU & ME) our basic Consumer Rights...

Gumtree false advertisement of a van that is not for sale

Last November 2016 an advert was placed on Gumtree by two asian men selling our van for £600.00. This resulted in cash being paid over to these men various times, from which the 'buyers' were given no documents but a false key. This resulted in people turning up at our door expecting to buy the van, although they had been given a false address, we obviously heard the commotion outside as people had come from all over the country hoping for a 'bargain'
This was reported to Action Fraud and local police who we gave the reference we were given by Gumtree and the advert was removed, with the assurance that the van Reg number DV56 WJE Red Transit Ford van would not appear on the site again.
Now on Monday 10th April 2017 two East Europeans turned up knocking on our neighbours door after finding a key they were given to our van obviously didnt fit after paying two asian guys £300.00 for our van saying documents would follow.
The neighbour called us and the men said the van was advertised on Gumtree. We have again reported this to police and Action Fraud Ref :NFRC170401811840 and they have told us to make sure that Gumtree block this vehicle from appearing on your site. This vehicle is not and will not be sold on Gumtree so we would appreciate it if you could sort this matter out.
Myname is Lynn Davies, email ; [protected]@hotmail.co.uk Tel [protected] if you need to contact me with any information you may require

I received no email explaining why so for the last 10 days Iv tried call, emailing, and live chat a few times too the first time I got through to live chat I got told the system was down and today when I tried again a lady called Mel was quite rude and dismissive and she couldn't even tell me why it had been removed or how to find out and Mel just ended the chat before I even had chance to ask how I find out, all I want is my money back for my ad.

Gumtree is allowed to get away with the con of removing ads and charging people’s cards it’s how they make their millions you need to complain to Trading Standards there’s a huge list of complaints they are taking into account at the moment so the more the merrier
Trading Standards will sort them out

Gumtree ford fiesta car

We saw this car advertised on gumtree. The advert stated low miles, a great little car MOT etc with no problems.W e we're not allowed to test drive because we had no Insurance on this vehicle. All seemed okay all paperwork was as stated.But when we came to drive it home we found out we had no clutch pedal so it was nearly impossible to change gears.The next day the car would not start. So buyers beware not everybody tells you the truth.This person lives in Colcester, I am probably not allowed to tell you his phone No.but please be extra careful he should not be allowed to con people like this .Luckily the car was not expensive but to get this car road worthy we need to spend a least another £800.

Gumtree fridge freezer from walthamstow

I purchased a fridge freezer from gumtree because the ad stated that there is a three month warranty on it. The freezer stopped working after a month and after liaising with Tony the person I bought it from he said he will send an engineer to fix it after repeated calls he then said he acts broke down, engineer is sick etc but now the number is disconnected and I can't reach him. Is there anyway of gumtree being able to reach him to obtain my £135 back as I have since the. Had to purchase another fridge freezer as all the food was going back. I don't know how to locate him as he delivered the goods so I don't know where his company is located.
Help please. I have attached an advert to another fridge from his advert before all
His ads dispareared from gumtree, which I've attached.

Gumtree my ad removed and my money for posting it not refunded

Today I uploaded an ad for 10 paintball tickets I bought which I am unfortunately no longer able to use anymore. This ad was then removed, I checked what you can and cannot sell on your website and there was no mention of selling tickets for an event. E-tickets were mentioned but I was not selling paintballing E-tickets in case there was some confusion. Therefore I would really appreciate that my ad is put back up or, at the very least, I get a good explanation for why it was removed.

Also I spent £5.75 I think it was making sure that my ad would be featured at the top of the list, please may I get my money back if you are not going to put my ad back up!

Gumtree zanussi dishwasher slimline

Seller being Anne-Marie
Ad Ref [protected]
Contacted this lady to buy her dishwasher on [protected] and arranged to go to buy. This date was for 7th of March, she sent me a text to say couldn't make but rearranged for today being 8th of March after 10am. So we drove a 17 mile journey but nobody was in, phoned and sent a text message but to no avail. So annoying and frustrating as driven 34 mile trip for nothing. No manners at letting us know and no further correspondence from her. Just not on, a time waster and my time and petrol being wasted.
This person should be removed from Gumtree selling as not being fair and reliable.
Yours Ian and Helen Pickavance

Gumtree chef de partie

Today I bumbed up an advert ref: [protected] and gave my credit card number. I did not get a response from gumtree until 25min later.

In the meantime I thought the credit card did not go through so I gave my credit card details again.
15mins later I received 2 confirmations, the first was for the above ref [protected] and the second ref was charged to [protected].

For some reason you had charged my card to a second advert which was not what I had done

I am a little upset as I spoke to a customer service member by the name of Karl and he refused to put me through to a supervisor

Gumtree complaint about a seller

I responded to the advertisement [protected] and met Ibra Sayeed on the 14/2/2017 to view the computer advertised. It seemed satisfactory so I purchased it. However on looking a little later I found the disk was not the 256gb as advertised, but 128gb.

I phoned him but he said they had none of the advertised machines in stock. When I suggested he should refund the money, he said he no longer had it. Although I realise I should have checked before paying, this is not too simple on a Mac unless you know how.

I said I required a 2015, 256gb machine and he said he would find one. I subsequently met him last week but the machine he had was severely dented in the two rear corners. I said this was not acceptable and he said he would check stock and get back to me. He never has. I texted him to say I would keep the original machine (intending to sell it and buy the larger disk version eksewhere, but that that he should refund me the difference between the higher spec machine I had paid for and the one he sold me (£50). He has not got back to me.

My complaints are:
1) the photos in the adverts are generic and not the machines he has for sale. The one I bought was not in a box, the advert for the second machine showed a pristine computer not one with dents.
2) he is advertising computers he does not have (c.f. point 1)
3) he is selling machine not matching those advertised, and unwilling to put right any problems.
4) the machine he showed me did not have the advertised software on them
5) the product locations are not Westminster. He meets you in convenient cafes in North London.
6) This person is still advertising a wide range of computers and has changed the name and phone number on the adverts

Gumtree my advert [protected]

Hello,

I tried to place an ad today(28/02/2017)mid afternoon and after waiting for few hours, it appeared under removed and inactive advert.

I thought initially pending and waited further hours but the status did not change so I got in touch with customer service.

I was then told that my account has been blocked and from the agent I was speaking to, he could not see why that is but also told that decision is final and there was nothing he could do to help me and he just ended the conversation without resolving the issue or giving me any contact details of management I could speak to.

Here is the ad ID [protected]

The agent just sent me a link of rules of Gumtree. You can imagine it is extremely frustrating as I was not told the reasoning as to why my account was blocked. It has been handled badly as the issue is not resolved and it felt rather one way communcation where he just ended the communication.

If you could look into this and get back to me that will be great.

Thank you for your help.

kind regards,

Kei

Gumtree service not available

Having been robbed of £40 by gumtree because of your ridiculous posting rules when you removed 5 ads because they were duplicate, I complained and got no where. (Thats theft) 1x even got deleted the same time I posted and payed for it. Thats disgusting.
I was advised to get a business account (So now its ok to post duplicate ads is it) so I thought ok problem solved until I got the cost.
So now ive got the option of 1x ad only @ £8 which lasts 2x months or
90 ads (Credits) each month @ £150. A month. !
What a choice, don't you think your missing something ?
Nothing in between,
Like a lot of people trying to earn a living by advertising on your site we are sole traders and don't need or can afford £150 a month, and 1 ad in 1 area isn't enough.
Why do I have to pay £150 to put in more than 1 ad.
I understand you not allowing duplicate ads that are free but I pay for my advertising and dont see the problem with putting in 6 ads in different areas, payed for.
Stupid rules made by stupid people and you reading this just a worker thats going to dismiss this complaint because (the rules say)
Is there no common sense around any more.
How about a sole trader business account ?
Or just let me put in several ads ?
Stolen £40 still needs to be refunded

Gumtree gumtree customer service

Ad id [protected]

Hi I advertised a job in the pub I am taking over and because I could not review the advert before paying I did not realise it was going to place it in my current address. 60 miles from the pub

Support originally told me just put the pub address in the description, which I had already done, but this did not effect the advertised address as being incorrect.

I asked if it could be changed answer no

I asked if it could be deleted and re-input answer yes but I would need to pay again (Very unfair)

I finally was given a telephone number where the poor girl could only offer me a very expensive feature foc if I placed another advert - therefore still costing me twice as much..

She said there was nothing that could be done and no other ways to contact gumtree, as I found this option on the web that was obviously not true!

All I am asking is to have the advert advertised as planned not anything else and I find the attitude of gumtree very unfair and mean.
