It only works if people actually believe banks offer an escrow service. When taking a bank transfer always check you have cleared fu ds in your account before posting anything. All these scams work on people not doing the most basic of checks and relying solely on a dodgy email.

Or how to make sure it's not one? james72 Posts: 66 Forumite. 27 October 2019 at 1:25PM. Hi, Not sure if Gumtree falls under this forum? There's something I want to buy. BUT the seller has this:"I will accept cash on collection or Bank transfer only. NO PAYPAL I'm not and never am going to be a paypal user."

Gumtree - Message Problem. gwentrevor Posts: 9 Forumite. 24 November 2018 at 10:07AM. When I get an email from a Gumtree customer who wants to buy something I'm selling and I reply, my reply immediately disappears off the screen so the person never receives it! I have done everything Gumtree has asked me to do eg clear my caches and cookies.

Your buyers will most likely be local. You can offer smaller items on gumtree and offer to post, but tread carefully. There is a lot of scammers on gumtree. I would avoid selling expensive electrical items, mobile phones, jewellery etc. You will make more money on Ebay and you will be surprised what people buy.

Gumtree buyer wants me to deliver. jazzrabbit Posts: 5 Forumite. 24 October 2014 at 6:40PM. I had a recent request from someone who wanted to buy something off me on gumtree except they are to far to meet me in person and asked if i could deliver to them. What would be the best way to do this without getting scammed?

Gumtree - Is it still available !!!! Undervalued Posts: 9,123 Forumite. 26 August 2022 at 1:12PM. Over the last few months I have sold a couple of dozen items on Gumtree. I take the trouble to photograph the item well, write an accurate description and price it attractively. Almost everything has sold, some quicker than others.

No and No to the first 2 questions. That's why the seller doesn't want to use PayPal. Look at the Gumtree FAQ's they warn about paying for something with bank transfer as it is not safe for any buyer. Gumtree is a scammers paradise with sellers taking bank transfers and then disappearing, just do a Google search.
