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

    I just listed my old car, was going to send it to the wreckers for a few hundred, listed it for $500 and actually had a legitimate enquiry, PayPal $20 will just be icing on the cake.

      They're smart, have adopted an aggressive strategy, and have a high threshhold for social embarrassment?

      Probably have prewritten responses that get sent to every new listing, on the off change they can pick up a car cheaply and flip it for profit

    Argh.

    I have two modern cars gathering dust. Mrs & i got company cars. Too tight & over thinking the sale pitch & prep, try for best sale price. But 6 mths has gone by!! So so stupid!

    This is the kick in the hole i needed. But I’ve only heard VERY bad 1st hand experiences from family & friends on gumtree with cars/scooters/motorbikes. 3x. Only one good story.

    Sound advice, please.

      • Ulysses31 on 19/06/2018 - 22:44

        Free, plus $20… motivated this proud human to embarrass himself. OzBargain is full of people with strange justifications etc etc related to being tight. Poor man’s economy etc. my hand is high. I ave issues. Yes. Here for help on this one, please people.

        I was only looking at carsales and others. Looking for a genuine sale.

    just got my account suspended…

    livechat with them and the guy (Luke) says he can't help - then closes the chat!
    my chat icon is turned off to "busy", so already sent an email.

    Not sure what happened but warning to everyone who is planning to do this.

    if you get suspended, remember to remove them from your paypal connection

      Same here listed my car then got an email saying it was deleted few minutes later (entered all correct details and the price wasn't way off either). Then tried to log into my account but got an error message. Poor form can't be bothered contacting them.

      For those in the same boat and wondering how to remove the PayPal link

      Log in to PayPal > Settings

      Either

      Account settings > Log in with PayPal (Websites where I've logged in with PayPal) > Change > Delete Gumtree

      Or

      Security > Permissions you've given (Keep track of the data and permissions you're sharing with the apps and sites you use) > Edit > Delete Gumtree

      • [Deactivated] on 19/06/2018 - 13:35

        Sorry to hear. Was it obviously fake in any way?

        Otherwise maybe some sore loser on here is reporting them as scams?

  • tamby_is_the_rajah on 19/06/2018 - 00:22

    Does it say how long the listing has to be up for or can you list and remove a listing within a day?

    It's under the Wallet page once you are logged in to PayPal. It is NOT added to your PayPal balance, meaning you cannot withdraw it, and it can only be used on your next purchase when you pay with PayPal.

    FYI for anyone having trouble finding the voucher in their paypal account - the voucher is only visible in a personal paypal account. If you have a business account you have to downgrade in order to access it. There's no option to do this via the dashboard, it's a phone call/email to paypal. Also, heads-up - apparently if you do choose to downgrade, you won't be able to upgrade the same account again.

    • lito on 07/07/2018 - 14:25

      This is a bit of a hassle as mine is a currently a business PayPal. Just checking, did you get this information from PayPal? I prefer to just keep mine as business :/

  • cc23 on 07/07/2018 - 11:59
