Hi
I am getting fed up with Gumtree. I have been trying to sell 3 items (body and 2 lens) on there for the past week, however all I have had are emails from Nigerian scammers trying to get me to send the items and they pay with paypal so they can chargeback when I have sent it I guess or something. One said theyd do bank transfer which would have been perfect however they sent some email from the bank saying to send a tracking number before funds would be released! Like I will fall for that one!!!
I know I am new on here, and that is why I have not posted them for sale in the for sale section on here as I know many people would be wary plus i probably would not be allowed to anyway, however does anybody have any tips to sell on gumtree? Or how to sell the items?
I cant sell on eBay as you need a credit card to sell on there and all I have is a basic bank card so cant even get an account to sell but I can to buy!
I have tried to put on the advert that if they are from Nigeria not to even bother emailing but they say they are from USA or something and then at the very end say to post to Nigeria, which is wasting my time.
The whole point of gumtree is to get a face to face meet to do the deal in cash which is perfect for me yet so far all I have had are those scammers. ARGH!!!!
Thanks
Sorry about my rant but any advice would be fantastic.
