Gumtree...

[tostaky]

i have sold a few items on Gumtree previously but they were of small value (£70 or less)

i am now selling my laptop (£900) and i posted an ad less than an hour ago and two people already want to buy it... no bargaining at all, they just want me to send them a paypal request and ship the item....
i am very happy but i am quite surprised at the no bargaining and the speed of response...
could it be a hoax? anyone got experience?

be careful lots of hoax on gumtree, dont give any bank account details out

And do registered post, or take it by hand.....don't want to lose your machine and then have to send the money back....because "it was broken when it arrived"

I am going to ask my boyfriend to do the transaction for me in a public place.dont want to risk it....
thanks

Biggest con in the world. pay you using a fake paypal address and you ship the item or hand it over. Paypal money wont be in your account or transaction will be reversed.
No money or computer and your left with bugger all !!

thank you! i think i'll stick with ebay....
