Job description

Beware of scams related to online transactions. Do not use 'Gumtree delivery' or 'Payments on Gumtree' services, as they are not offered by Gumtree. Be cautious of requests via Whatsapp or SMS, which could be scams.

Only access Gumtree through gumtree.com and avoid clicking on links from unknown users. Share photos and ask detailed questions about items to ensure transparency. If a deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Use the 'Reply to ad' button to protect your privacy and safety. Do not reply to email addresses hidden within text or images. For transactions, prefer in-person trades or use PayPal's 'paying for an item or service' option.

Be vigilant against fake websites and invoices claiming to be Gumtree, eBay, or escrow services.
