I can also confirm that Gumtree is becoming super picky about contacting buyers 'outside' of their mind-numbingly slow messaging system.
I listed an item that is not high risk last week. It went live in around 26 hours (oh the joy!). I kept on checking and I had up to 50 views...
50 views and not one single question? Surely not. So I asked myself a 'question' from an old laptpo in no way connected to my braodband or computer.
Do you know how long it took for that question to come through? 40 hours! And with that question came about 30 others.
Because of the 40 hour delay I responded to one guy (who was literally two streets away from me from what he said) with my email address and phone number. Two hours later my advert was gone. That meant I couldn't respond to anyone and they had probably even blocked the message containing my details. But I didn't want to wait another 40 hours for a freekin response.
IT GETS BETTER........
I check the laptop and check the emails of the 'message' I sent to myself. I have an email from Gumtree telling ME that I am contacting a FRAUD and not to do business with ME!
EBay's slanderous ways strike again...
It's happening a lot.
