GumTree are giving $20 to anyone who lists their car for sale as part of an EOFY promotion.

Users must complete the below steps to claim:

  1. Log into their Gumtree account and create a new listing for their vehicle for sale in the “cars, vans and utes” category on the Website. Please note that listings posted before the Promotion Period, regardless of whether they are renewed during the Promotion Period, will not be eligible. Ads that are incorrectly posted in a category other than “cars, vans and utes” will not be eligible;
  2. Include “EOFY” in the description of their listing; and
  3. Ensure that they enter a valid Vehicle Identification Number (“VIN”) for the listed vehicle.

Full terms and conditions here

Important condition:

Each eligible individual who completes the above steps during the Promotion Period will receive a reward of $20 (Australian Dollars) deposited into the balance of their linked PayPal account on or around 6 July. Any ad listed after advertising for the promotion has ceased will be invalid for the purposes of this promotion and will not receive a reward

          That's not what I experienced. When I open a new paypal account and try to transfer money to my friend it won't allow me.

      Their aim is to compete with Carsales and become the go to place when selling your car. Much like what Carsales did when they advertised 'pay $5 to sell your car until sold' unlike Trading Post who were the monopoly and were charging an arm and a leg for newspaper ads limited to 25 words. We all know what happened to Trading Post.

      Believe it or not, I had this idea of paying people to advertise their goods, not just cars. Why? Rather than having a budget of $1million in advertising and not knowing what you're going to get in return, you are effectively ensuring 50,000 listings for $1m. That's almost a 1/4 of what Carsales has on their website.

      The following limits apply:

      Only one (1) reward per household;
Only one (1) reward per Gumtree account;
Only one (1) reward per PayPal account;
Only one (1) reward per unique VIN;
The reward will be paid into the claimant’s linked PayPal account and will not be payable via any other method;
The reward, or any unused portion of the reward, is not transferable or exchangeable and cannot be taken as cash.

      Also note

      Gumtree reserves the right, at any time, to verify the validity of claims and reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual who Gumtree has reason to believe has breached any of these Terms and Conditions, tampered with the claim process or engaged in any unlawful or other improper misconduct. If your Gumtree account is suspended at any time before payment of the reward, you will not be eligible to receive the reward.

      I'm guessing that there will have actual humans doing some kind of moderation and IP checks to make sure you're not gaming the system. They do have some kind of duplicate detection system from the last time I tested.

      It costs them $20 and they gain circa $0 irrespective of whether you’re really selling or not, it really makes no difference. They’re simply trying to mess with CarSales marketshare metrics.

    • Sage on 18/06/2018 - 18:36
      +1

      They've probably got a lot of money left over to use for promotion before the new financial year and this is a quick way to boost listings for used cars which will work well for them as mentioned in previous comments.
      Imagine how much they could spend on a billboard or TV spot, this is comparable.

    This is just a ploy to get people to link their PayPal accounts to their Gumtree accounts.

    I refuse to accept anything other than Cash (in-person) for Gumtree transactions due to the high number of fraudsters operating on it.

    • sydsm on 18/06/2018 - 16:05

      too right…CASH ONLY on Gumtree. especially for cars.

      • xuqi on 18/06/2018 - 16:09

        For anything. It's just far too easy for someone to pickup something and then complain to PayPal for a refund, or action a bank chargeback, etc….

    my two cents - sold two cars and spent over $600 on premium ads - the ONLY way to really sell your car is on FB, marketplace and FB Groups. My level on enquiry was 10x the others. Gumtree would be second but expect alot of 'pls email me only on gmail' fraudsters, but you do get some enquiries. Carsales.com.au was absolutely garbage and total waste of $300.
