A Good Place to Depose Surplus Household Goods
Listed the item for quite a while, finally received an offer and fell into the price range I would accept. The buyer was reliable and picked up the goods on time...everything went well.
I particularly like the fact that Gumtree has outlined some safety instructions on dealing with selling and buying.

I posted a normal ad to sell a camera…
I posted a normal ad to sell a camera lens, however have been "blocked for security reasons" apparently.
now no real feed back and reasoning given. I can only assume it's due to me using a VPN to access the site.
What a shame and pity - I generally think Gumtree is a OK site, however to be treated like some common scammer is not very nice. So I advise other to beware of Gumtree random security slections.
I received a quick response from Gumtree Support stating to please contact them as they were keen to sort out the issue. This I have done and ...am still waiting for Gumtree Support to contact me. I left my email and phone number for them. A disappointing response and certainly not the service that Gumtree Support allude to in their initial response - 24/7 contact.
I am very disillusioned and sad that this company appear to be very selective and parochial in their dealings with me.
Again, I can only offer a warning to others that the use of Gumtree is not what it appears.
