They just re-posted my advert!

Wow, that was really quick! I guess they don't want to lose regular customers, which I am. I guess patience is a real must on here, but I have noticed rather a lot of ...

Does Gumtree owe you money...?

It's obvious that they remove ads when they want, even when you've paid. I need to know how many other people this has happened to, because they owe me a refund of £9 ...

Okay, I've looked again and my ad has re-appeared. Now I get it, but it's still very fustrating. Customers need to be informed that paid for ads appear and disappear because of the rotation system, bu ...

I was informed that Spotlight adverts are on a "rotating system" so that may be there one moment, then disappear the next and keep coming and going, but what I presumed I paid almost £20 for ...

My advert was showing up last week, not it hasn't been in the London Spotlight ads areas for several days. I just want a full refund of my £19.95, as this is a total scam. My ad hasn't even been on th ...

Who else keeps having problems with paid for adverts on this site?

I must have lost count of the number of times I've made complaints to the staff about not seeing my adverts that I PAY FOR.

I p ...

I have had to complain to Gumtree several times about my ads being removed without any response from the Gumtree team and it's been pissing me off for the past year, although I have gained a lot of po ...

I've had EXACTLY the same problem with a PAID advert that has previously featured in the Health & Beauty section on the Reading page.

I wrote a detailed e mail to a member of the Gumtree staff ...

I'm sick of my featured ads not showing and I complained OVER FOUR DAYS AGO about my ad on the Reading page not even showing and I still have yet to get any response. I am sick of complaining about th ...

Okay, so now the ad is showing again and I probably made too much fuss.
People should know that the featured ads are on a rotation process in some catagories, though and they are listed the whole tim ...

I PAID for a featured advert on behalf of my grandmother who wants to let three of her bedrooms to lodgers and the advert has disappeared, yet it was on there just a few minutes ago, then now I just l ...

That site is definitely down now. I guess there were too many complaints!
Obviously shady! There have been rather too many scams about involving show tickets, but trading standards soon get the crook ...

Colin is actually right! A proper experienced electrician would have been able to fix the fridge properly, why would you have to get the council to take it away when it sounds that it was actually oka ...

I just tried going onto that website and it looks like it's been shut down. There is no page there.

That site maybe fraudulent, but it shouldn't put anyone off buying tickets from people who advertise to sell their tickets on Gumtree or any other free listings website, because I've bought tickets at ...

BBC's "Watchdog" have gone undercover more than once and discovered illegal scams involving fake passports, spouse visas and a "company" selling fake visas for students who don't e ...

Well, I've created NEW ads, but they haven't come up onto the site either!
Unless I pay for a featured ad, they don't appear!

The complaints are still on here all the time and recently it's not getting any better, as there are several regular ads that I've been posting on Gumtree that I re-post each week, but recently I've a ...

Well, my friend has said she has tried posting her PROPER and genuine massage ads in the Cornwall section and they haven't been showing up. I've noticed that the last ad was last Friday, which is not ...

Yeah, well, I have received several fake e mails supposedly from PayPal and even got this e mail that was from an eBay buyer, threatening to call the police if I didn't send a laptop to him that he bo ...

You are more likely to sell your item you're advertising if you post in more than one city! I totally agree. I have advertised some items to sell in the Guildford page, but I've had no response so far ...

Look, it's ALL the free classified advertising websites who are the victims of scammers, not just Gumtree! You can't single out this site, because it happens EVERYWHERE and you just have to be aware a ...

It is not Gumtree's fault this kind of thing happens. As somebody has already said on here, it's a problem that occurs on ALL classified advertising websites. Fraud is easily identified, you just have ...

Obviously it's only the London massage ads that seem to be the unreliable ads, because I do massage (proper massage that is!) and advertise on Guildford and Reading pages and there is nobody of " ...

and again -

CORNWALL PAGE NEEDS TO BE ADDED!

I'm saying this on behalf of my friends who live there who run their own businesses and could benefit from advertising here. Times are hard for a lot ...
