Gumtree is a community site. We rely on your feedback to keep the site friendly and safe.
We like to think of it as you, the Gumtree community, "policing" the site and keeping out the bad guys.
So on each ad there is a button "Report ad" where you can bring an ad to our attention. You will be asked to choose your reason for reporting it. Your choices are:
- Possible fraud
- Duplicate / Spam
- If the same ad has been posted more than once a day in the same category
- No longer current
- Use this option if you think the poster of the ad has sold the item and not responding to your emails
- Wrong category
- Use this option if you think the ad belongs somewhere else on the site or is the wrong category
- Inappropriate content
- Use this option if you come across any ads that display inappropriate content e.g. pictures that display nudity, ads that use inappropriate language, prostitution or ads that offer sex, sexual favours or sexual actions in exchange for anything.
After an ad is reported to us, we take a look as quickly as we can and then decide if we need to remove it.
As you can see, your help and feedback is extremely valuable to us. It helps shape Gumtree and keeps the content on the site clean, up-to-date and relevant for everyone.
