Pretty much i re-post my add every day...have been doing it for the last week and a half. and every time i do, it never comes up on the ads...
very annoying cos im trying to set up a new band and if people cant see it then how am i ever gonna get to those potential band members.

very anoying!

and i get the confirmation messege sent to my email and then i clikc the link and it just says the ad has been deleted/doesnt exsist.

(just in case your wondering if i made an error...i wouldnt think so...
i didnt use any rude languge...its just an ad for bands so why would i?
nothing against the gumtree rules were posted)

any help around this would be greatly appreciated...i need this band started SOON!

(starting to think admins are just robots with simple respond commands to general problems....)

i mentioned that i didnt go over the rules and regulations....ITS TO POST FOR BAND MEMEBERS!!!

all it says is that im looking for band members for an indie electro group...stated my infulences...the age range for memebers...and put my email in there and all that jazz

nothin more...nothin less

now can an admin please give me a Human responce.

btw the faq is quite vauge:
Your ad will usually take about 3-4 hours to appear online if posted during business hours; otherwise it will appear the following day.
If your ad has not appeared the following day, it is possible that your advert has been removed from the site, if it does not comply with our posting policies or guidelines. Please check for emails from ‘postings@Gumtree’ to read any messages from us about this (these emails sometimes get directed to “Trash” or “Junkmail”, so check these folders).

i waited about half a day...and it still didnt come up on the next day...sort it out plz.

Hello,

It's hard for us to answer your question without knowing the details of your ads ...

If you really think the ad you placed didn't break any rules or don't know what rule it broke, best thing to do would be to email us via the Last Resort link at the bottom of the FAQs with the details of the specific ads (posting reference number).

Cheers

I've waited about ten days before now but I did get a full email back from a member of Gumtree staff.

Normally we reply within no more than 2 working days, if it's longer than that you might want to check the address / resend.
