Gumtree fobbed me off??

Post by sonny007 » Wed Dec 11, 2013 1:02 pm

Advertised my car on Gumtree and chose the homepage spotlight for £18.95.

2 days now and not once have I seen my ad on their homepage. Contacted them and they say the ad is showing.

I have asked my friends and family to check gumtree's homepage and so far, nada!
The amount of time I've punched F5 to refresh the and still nothing!

Thinking to reverse payment through bank, cos so far their service has been real crap!

ive used gumtree to sell before and ive had the same where your own ads dont appear to be on the home screen.
but after doing a general search in my area i could eventually find them.
