Gumtree are starting to charge for ads

[stu9]

I know they've been charging £15 to put a car in but other things were free, now when you edit or upgrade it's £2.75, but if you put a fresh one in for the same ad, it's free

Wont be long before they charge for everything

[Eeyore]

I have never sold anything through gum tree anyway. There are too many scams and dodgey people.

GumTree is alrite for a free place, but the layout and organisation of the website is shit so I wouldn't pay to put an advert up there.
If you're gunna pay it's going to go on eBay, at least there's a decent chance people will see it.

Is Swapz.co.uk free???

[stu9]

I don't pay on either, just put free stuff on, nut you're right, it's full of scammers/arseholes....like you say ebay for most things or Autotrader, PH ect for cars

If you update an old ad, it wont be seen due to the way it lists in date order.

I used gumtree for buying and selling, the map location was ideal for me, it's how ebay locations should be done imo. However since you have to pay so much now you might as well just use ebay tbh.

[stu9]

I know what you mean....GT now charge £2.75 to update one, they didn't before....that's what doesn't make sense to me, they'll charge to update it but wont to a new one in...odd

[Toms306]

Oh I see, yeah that does seem odd lol.

You know eBay acquired Gumtree in 2005. I treat it as a free eBay.

[Toms306]

But it's no longer free...that's the problem.

[C.A.R.]

They gotta pay for all of those TV adverts eh.

Someone had to give Justin Lee Collins some work I suppose!

[Jenkosowls]

I sold I car via gum tree last week didn't cost me a thing at all so don't know where you going wrong?!

[stu9]

That's because you're allowed 2 free a year.....i forgot to say

[Sian]

It only costs if you want to bump it up the page? Ive edited mine before and it was free? Never paid to list been doing it for ages?

Same here was free when I've done it this year

Also swapz.co.uk is free mate

[Toms306]

As Stu said above, you get two free ad's a year.... So if you haven't done more than that you won't have paid.
