Gumtree doesn’t provide shipping and delivery services through its own platform. If you sell your items through its website, they will expect you to either meet with your buyer to exchange the item, or to arrange your own delivery.

This is where Parcel2Go can help. Our shipping starts from just £1.99 exc VAT and we have a variety of both collection and drop off services.

As one of the most popular online selling websites, Gumtree lets you convert your unwanted belongings into cash, selling anything from cars to clothing.

Understanding how Gumtree delivery works means understanding how you sell on this marketplace.

 

 

How to Sell on Gumtree

Selling your items on Gumtree is easy. All you need to do is set up your account, following along the instructions on Gumtree’s website, and you’re good to go.

Here’s a few top tips to help your items appeal to as many buyers as possible.

1. Choose the category for your item carefully. This will help your products appear in search results.
2. If you’re offering local collection on your items, don’t forget to enter your postcode.
3. Good descriptions and images are key to selling your items quickly. You can even add links to YouTube videos if you want to go the extra mile.

 

What Are the Benefits of Selling on Gumtree?

• Listings are free - Not only is it free to list your items, you won’t have to pay a fee to Gumtree when you sell your items either.
• Relaxed selling atmosphere - Whilst they expect good customer service, there’s not so much pressure on maintaining top feedback score as there is on other auction sites.
• No PayPal - For those who don’t have a PayPal account, this is great news. Buyers who use Gumtree are most likely to deal in cash, but they allow other payment methods.
• Reach 25% of UK population - With 14 million active users per month, that’s a lot of people looking at your products. Yes, it’s smaller than eBay, but there’s a lot less competition and a greater likelihood of your items standing out from the crowd.
• Promotion tools included - Gumtree offers ad options to help you target specific audiences. These are great for when you want to boost your selling potential.
