GUMTREE HAS LOST ITS RELEVENCE

[friendlyuser]

Hi gumtree is one of the best site I have ever used and I really apprecited it as a user friendly site for everyone in the community where everyone can get what he or she is looking for and at the same time small companies and individuals who cannot afford advertisement expenses can advertise their services/product.

It was good for general public as well as they can get the quality services they desired at competent price.

Now Gumtree is start to threaten everybody by starting to charge for what was supposed to be free and for this they gave a very lame excuse of spamming and duplicate ad, well if this was the real issue then there are many ways of tackling it, I don't think I need to advice Gumtree on that because you know what they are, the real issue is that now gumtree wants to make money by almost blackmailing the user who depends on it for advertisement.

I personally used gumtree but now I think the gumtree has lost its relevence because small companies and individual who used to advertise their services at a very competent prices was the bargain for the general public who used to visit gumtree for such ads however now they will be disappointed when they will not find such ads and stop visiting gumtree.

I personally will never post ads in gumtree and look for other free sites (there are many) and I think everyone will do the same

Thank gumtree for being so good till now however now I need to say good bye to you.

Take Care
