As soon as I included my number on the add I received about 10-15 spam calls a day. Once I deleted the number of my add, the add has been removed. Gumtree team admitted it had been removed by mistake and reinstated it only to remove it 2 days later. I received no email with explanation why, even though the website said an email will follow to explain. I tried several times to have an online chat with them but after checking my details they were just disconcerting. Eventually spoke to a really nice girl who kindly told me my account has been blocked and they won't change the decision. She could not give me the reason why as their policy is to give little or no explanation but at least she had "balls" to tell me this. Overall, I'm very happy I only posted a free add and did not spend a penny with them. Would not recommend as they do not follow the GDPR and give you phone number and email address out to scammers and have no decency to even inform you why they are blocking you account. It's like they pick and chose who can advert. If someone told me this I wouldn't believe as they are so well known and I thought they must be a good company but they are not. Will never even try to use them again and I will make sure that this message gets to all my friends as well. Gumtree shame on you and the way you treat people!
