Koolwabbit Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 What can I do ? Found something I want (Boat item) on Gumtree. Won't be able to collect for maybe 12 weeks. Do I pay now or hope seller will reserve for said period ? Koolwabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauriceMynah Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 As everyone will be in the same situation, I'd suggest a chat with the vendor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I would never pay for an item on Gumtree until I collect it. I know first hand of too many people who have been conned by sellers on Gumtree. It is intended as a face to face local market place and so it's safeguards only cover that, unlike ebay where buyer protection goes much further Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
