Ratings and reviews

I've been a long time user of this app/website and are exhausted buy this search tab. I haven't used the app in a while and have just continued updating it but my recent experience left me frustrated. This basic search has no intelligence to it. Searching for some simple stuff has lead to to rather stay on Facebook market. Performing a general search brings you either up zero items or nothing related to it. These weren't items that I difficult to find for example, backpack. Fix it please.

I'm constantly struggling with this app. Something always ends up not working or just stops. I out an ad up, and while it pended it must have stopped and instead of saying there was an error, it deleted the ad. Notifications don't stay consistent even when enabled. Saved searches are almost always bugged. They ask you to verify your identity with your I.D but I haven't had luck in getting the scanner to even try and scan! Gumtree is beyond frustrating.

Gumtree removes adverts for animals claiming they are illegal when many of these animals are perfectly legal to own and trade in South Africa, subject to the relevant laws and permits. If Gumtree simply doesn't allow certain animal sales, that's their policy and they are entitled to it. But falsely labelling legal animals as "illegal" is misleading. They should follow the actual law rather than blanket policies influenced by organisations that oppose animal trading altogether.
