There are several reasons why an Ad may have been removed from the site. If this occurs, the ad may be suspended temporarily (factor dependent) until reviewed; we check reported ads as quickly as we can.

Provided that your ad hasn't breached any General Posting Rules listed here, or the Gumtree Terms of Use, it should be back up again shortly, generally within a few hours.

Ads reported to us, identified internally as inappropriate, or found to be in breach of our General Posting Rules or Terms of Use, will be removed from the site.

In most cases, we email to confirm that your ad has been removed and if possible, provide you with an opportunity to resubmit. Please remember to check your junk/spam folders. If your junk/spam settings are set at high, Gumtree emails may not be delivered to the spam/junk folders at all; please consider adding Gumtree to your safe senders list if possible.

If you feel your ad has been removed in error, please let us know by clicking on Open a Case located at the bottom of the help pages and we'll be happy to help.
