How Can I Include Images in My Ad?
To include images in your ad:
- On the posting or editing page, you should see a section called "Pictures" (right below the description box).
- Click on one of the picture frames to upload images.
- Select a picture file from your computer's hard disk and click "OK". The picture will then be uploaded and attached to your ad. You can upload multiple images with one action by holding down CTRL when selecting your images from your computer.
You can add up to 12 pictures from the Gumtree desktop website and 8 images from the iOS/Android app. Remember a good picture is worth a thousand words, so including one or more with your Ad will increase your chance of getting several replies. (It's recommended that you avoid using web/stock/copyright images to represent your goods).
If you encounter difficulties uploading images on Firefox:Make sure to disable or turn down your
tracking protection settings for the Gumtree website on your browser.
