What is a Verified Email?

What is a Verified Email?

New features have been introduced for seller account histories which will help users better understand who they are dealing with when browsing through Gumtree.
 

What does it mean if a seller has a verified email?

A verified email confirms a user has access to the email account used to create an ad, giving you peace of mind that your reply will be received and read.

Does a verified email mean the user is safer than another?

A verified email simply means the email address used to create the listing has been verified and does not mean the user is any safer than another. Always remain cautious and follow our safety advice to better protect yourself. 
 
Are other sign-up methods available?
 
Yes, Gumtree users can opt to sign up using their Facebook or Google accounts. Once a user signs up with one of these options, their email will be automatically verified and a verification badge will show on the account if the user has verified their ID and mobile number.
