Hi,

Im looking for some Help/Advice

I posted an Add selling some of my PS3 games that i no-longer play on Edinburgh Gumtree

Now I made my post and hit the post add button but it never listed this was on Saturday night,But the post never appeared on the site,I got an Email this morning telling me the reason the post hadnt been added to the site was that I hadnt put a valid amount in the Price section of the post As i put in £1 in the field,

Now the reason i done this is i posted 4 games all with diffrent prices,Some more expensive than others But the email i got said that gumtree wasnt an auction site (Which i already know) But why wasnt the post added The only reason i put the £1 in the Field was what i stated erlier all games were priced diffrently,Yet when i go onto the site today and checked there are several post's with the price field marked as £1 selling things and asking for offers,Which correct me if im wrong is exactly the same reason i was unable to post my add,

I always seem to have problems posting on Gumtree and have tried several times to post things with no success I have used Gumtree since it first started and had no problems in the start,But now I cant seem to post anything and when it does happen i get emails telling me i posted wrongly yet others post things with Exactly the same set up as mine but get posted no problem.

Any help would be great Thanks

Are you sure that you didn't add the £1 as to make lots of people look at the advert Wink
Put the games up individually in future with the correct price

No the £1 was put so that people could make an offer on each individual game (Which is not actioning them) I didnt have a specific price in mind for each game so no it wasnt to make people look if they have a PS3 and looking for games they are going to look anyway!!

Thats why the post heading was PS3 games for sale!!!!

Price was nothing to do with it £1 or not!!
