Ratings and reviews

It's not terrible but it's not great either. It functions as intended, but. It does badger you to promote which costs a mint (although its entirely optional) but the biggest problem. It's barren. NO ONE is using it, there's one ad in a hundred mile radius. Not one search result, there is a single advert in the radius that I didn't put there myself. And the audience is similarly scarce. A buying and selling app with no buyers or sellers, you got to increase the user base or it's simply unusable.

I have made four purchases on gumtree in the last month. Every single one of them cancelled because the sellers listed their items with delivery, but then have ghosted me, or diddnt actually want to post the item. What's the point of a buy and sell app where sellers don't understand that delivery means they need to post an item. Also no way to review sellers where they don't respond to messages or don't dispatch a sold item. Will be going back to Vinted!

It's dead, it's like walking into an empty shop. I think it could be because people are lazy and just sell on Facebook instead as they're already on there instead of using a separate app. I like gumtree but there's never anything I'm searching for anymore. unless I've already got everything a man could want, but I seriously don't think it's that
