Hey guys,
just seen you again in this section. Yes I started other thread and now I cannot post ANY ad at all?????!!!!!!!
I dont know what to do and cannot get anyone at Gumtree to answer me even though I was told that someone would give me an answer to what I had written (check general feedback "my ad is continually removed - why).
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE.........????????

Hey Guys,

Like you I'm experiencing the same thing. In the past I've managed to post ads (successfully) but of late, I cannot seem to post ads at all.

It seems gumtree has employed a new tactic now in addition to censoring user ads albeit by manually or automated means.

When users posted ads previously they would be deleted or not show up but now Gumtree have gone one stage further by blocking IP Addresses which means you now don't even have access to the category buttons or any other buttons once you have iniitially clicked the 'Post An Add' button the posting section as they are all greyed out.

If Gumtree really do not want the average person to be able to post ads category wide and would prefer that as of now this will be a strictly 'pay per ad' site, they should at least go the whole hog and tell us in no uncertain terms that from now on, in order to to use their site we'll have to stump up some cash, rather than waste the end users time.

At least that ways we'll know where we stand and if necessary give our time, business and even our money to a more reputable advertising organisation. Plus you'll know what you're getting for your money too.

And as for the Gumtree admin, Customer Services or whatever they term it as .................don't even want to start !!!!!

EXASPERATED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY WONT SOMEBODY ANSWER ME?
We know that these forums are moderated so why wont someone just give me a straight answer?
PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU CONTINUALLY REMOVED MY AD AND NOW WILL NOT LET ME PLACE ONE AT ALL.
I thought this was a community site? A site for everybody?
