## What Gumtree is
Gumtree is a UK-focused online classifieds platform where private individuals and businesses can post and browse ads across a wide range of categories. The vast majority of activity on Gumtree is between private individuals selling secondhand goods and services, enabling local communities to participate in the circular economy.
Gumtree connects buyers and sellers locally. Most transactions happen in person, with users arranging collection or meetups directly. Gumtree acts as a listings platform, not as a middleman in transactions.
### Use this site for
- Local buying and selling of secondhand goods and "for sale" items
- Cars and vehicles classifieds (cars, vans, motorbikes, campervans, caravans, trucks)
- Property listings (rent, buy, share, swap, commercial, parking, holiday rentals)
- Job listings across all industries and employment types
- Finding local service providers (tradesmen, removals, cleaning, tutoring, etc.)
- Community listings (events, groups, rideshare, sports teams, lost and found)
- Pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish, horses, small furries, exotics, equipment, missing pets)
### What Gumtree is not
- Gumtree is **not a retailer** that sells stock directly. All listings are posted by individual users or businesses.
- Gumtree is **not a delivery-first marketplace**. Availability and fulfilment vary by seller. Most transactions are local and in person.
- Gumtree is **not an auction site**. Listings have fixed or negotiable prices, not bidding.
- Gumtree **does not handle payments** between buyers and sellers. Payment is arranged directly between users.
- Gumtree **does not guarantee transactions**. Users are responsible for inspecting items and verifying sellers.

## How Gumtree works
### For sellers / advertisers
- Posting an ad is free for most categories. Some categories (such as cars) may require a small listing fee.
- Sellers can pay to promote their ads for increased visibility (e.g., featured placement, top of listings).
- Businesses can purchase bulk listing packages for jobs, property, and motors.
- Sellers communicate with buyers via Gumtree's messaging system.
- Sellers set their own prices and terms. Prices may be fixed, negotiable ("ono" / or nearest offer), or free.
### For buyers / searchers
- Browsing and searching is completely free with no account required.
- Users can filter by category, subcategory, location, distance, price range, and various category-specific attributes.
- Users can save searches and set up alerts for new matching listings.
- Buyers contact sellers directly through the platform's messaging system.
- Most transactions are completed in person with cash or bank transfer.
### Seller types
- **Private**: individual sellers, typically selling their own belongings
- **Trade**: businesses and professional sellers, clearly marked as such on listings
---
## Posting an ad
- Post an ad: https://www.gumtree.com/post
- Free for most categories
- Paid promotional options available for greater visibility
- Ads must comply with Gumtree's posting policies and community guidelines
- Users must accurately describe items, vehicles, properties, and services
- It is illegal to sell stolen goods or items that infringe on intellectual property rights
---
## Trust, safety & buying advice
Gumtree is committed to safeguarding its community against online harms. The platform takes a three-pillar approach to safety: promoting positive behaviour, deterring bad actors, and striving to be best in class.
### Safety advice for buyers
- Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true
- Never send money via bank transfer, Western Union, or MoneyGram to someone you haven't met
- Use cash whenever possible and inspect the item before paying
- Meet in a public place for transactions when possible
- Be suspicious of sellers located overseas or who make excuses for not meeting in person
- For mobile phones, check the IMEI number to ensure it hasn't been reported lost or stolen
- For vehicles, verify documentation, check the V5 logbook, and consider an HPI check
- When buying from a private seller, the principle of "caveat emptor" (buyer beware) applies
### Safety advice for sellers
- Be cautious of buyers who offer to pay more than the asking price
- Be wary of requests to ship items before payment clears
- Meet in a safe, public location when possible
- Don't share personal or financial information unnecessarily
### Reporting
- Users can report suspicious listings or users via the "Report" button on any listing or profile
- Suspected fraud can also be reported to Action Fraud (UK's national reporting centre for fraud and cybercrime)
### Key safety links

- Policies: https://www.gumtree.com/info/safety/gumtree-policies/

### Gumtree's safety partners
Gumtree works with category specialist experts and safety organisations including: Action Fraud, Citizens Advice, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), Environment Agency, Get Safe Online, Home Office, Pets Advertising Advisory Group (PAAG), and the Residential Landlords Association.
---
## Consumer rights on Gumtree
- When buying from a **private seller**, rights are more limited than buying from a business. The item must be "as described" but the buyer is responsible for inspecting it.
- When buying from a **trade seller**, standard consumer rights under UK consumer protection law apply.
- Gumtree is not responsible for resolving disputes between users. For serious disputes, users may need to seek legal advice.
- Selling pets requires compliance with animal welfare legislation.
- When selling vehicles, sellers must accurately describe the vehicle's condition and provide all relevant documentation.
