Advertising on gumtree

[shaky99 10]

Hi, has anyone advertised on gumtree?

 

Yesterday, i posted 2/3 adds for sale on the forum, and on gumtree. Had good interest from the forum , but strange results from gumtree.

 

i was asking £60 for one item, and £90 for the other. one reply offered to double my asking price if i sent it to his grandson in nigeria.

 

And just got a reply for other item saying if i hit the request money button (something on gumtree i believe) they will pay me 160 euro direct into my paypal account.

 

Are all gumtree shoppers so generous?

scam city on there. you will get alot wanting you to send money to places like nigeria. i was sent a fake cheque for a van i was selling but i shouldn't of trusted the buyer anyway as they offered more than the van was worth. be very careful on there

I second netmums it's a very good sight and more genuine people and not as many chancers.
