Advantages: still fees free! (for standard adverts) Disadvantages: Any option costs money, plenty of time wasters, ads get automatically removed for no reason
Gumtree is a website dedicated to free ads of certain areas of the globe. It is advertised as UK n°1 website for classified ads but it has branches also in other Worldwide locations (Australia, Poland, New Zeland, Asia and South Africa) plus European and North American partners, meaning other websites called differently but offering the same service. The website is divided into main areas of the UK and each main city in those areas have their own ... ...Manchester you will post your ads in your local area. Also the search of items for sale is local, there isn't yet a function for a global search, mainly because most of transactions end with a collection in person so it's useless to search items across the UK if you live in Cardiff. Classified ads are divided into categories: Flat & Houses Services Pets Friends & Dating Cars For Sale Stuff For Sale Jobs Community Each one has sub categories, for ...

Advantages: User friendly Disadvantages: Some sites may be a bit frivolous.
Gumtree.com is like one of those ad newspapers (eg. Loot) but online and is extremely helpful and user-friendly.
I have been using it a lot recently as I am back in England for a while and it is great for job hunting, accommodation and even finding friends! It is very user friendly and you can even post free ads without giving away all your personal details.

For these credit cruch times it is a good place to sell your unwanted things and find bargains too or maybe even a job.

Happy hunting! ...

I'm tight fisted (sorry frugal as it should be known now) so I didnt want to go paying for listings on things like autotrader or the local paper, and I'm not a fan of ebay so for me at least ebay motors was out of the question. It didn't leave many ... ...I went off in search of my mums birthday pressie - a fishtank - which lead me to the gumtree site, it didn't have the pressie I was looking for but it did advertise itself as having free listings. I figured why not, if its free I wouldnt be losing anything so I placed my listing. The layout of the site is pretty easy to deal with, the UK version has London as the default city setting so you have to find the most apt city location for you, in my case ...
