4. GUMTREE COMPLAINTS

 

Gumtree has streamlined its complaint process by leveraging its online resources. When websites users face an issue and click on either the Contact Us or FAQs page, they are redirected to a help page which is divided into nine categories:

 

• Basics

• Safety   

• Policies  

• Technical Support   

• Jobs

• Motors   

• For Sale   

• Pets

• Property

 

Clicking on each topic will open up a new page with every conceivable scenario or issues customers may face. Some examples include ‘How to change your email address’, ‘Animals We Do Not Allows’ and ‘Tips on Buying Electronic Goods’.

 

If the help provided in these pages proved insufficient, then simply scroll down until you see Contact Support button. Once you’ve clicked the button, simply fill in the fields. You will then be presented with an option of either submitting the form or going to a Live Chat (working hours).

 

It may seem cumbersome, but this process actually saves a lot of time. Try it!

 

5. DEALING WITH GUMTREE CUSTOMER SERVICES

 

Since Gumtree does not have a call centre, users must use the online help function or forms to handle their grievances.

 

However, if you feel that it is necessary to call their corporate number we have provided above, please remember that the people receiving the call are not trained customer service representatives. They are also not trained to handle a high volume of calls.

 

As such, be patient with them and do not lash out in anger. Be prompt and factual, and gain their sympathy. Once they are emotionally invested in your issue, they will then give the necessary advice or alert their internal departments.

 

Nevertheless, there is a limit to what they can do, since deals are made between consenting private citizens.

6. ABOUT GUMTREE

 

Gumtree is a classified advertisement website. The concept is similar to newspapers’ classified section. The company was founded in March 2000 to serve as an online classified site for members of expatriates in London, primarily those from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. The co-founders, the publicity-shy Michael Pennington and Simon Crookall, decided to name the portal gum tree (Gumtree.com), an informal term used for the eucalyptus tree, to give it a familiar feel to their core audience.

 

In 2005, Pennington and Crookall sold their website to eBay for an undisclosed sum which is believed to be in the tens of millions of dollars range.

 

In the intervening years, Gumtree has expanded rapidly into a wider range of offerings. Visitors can now view vehicles, pets and even properties. You can literally set up a new life using Gumtree – buy or rent a home or a room, furniture, electronics, kitchen appliances and a car bike. Once you’ve sorted those things out, you can look for pets, a job, cleaning equipment and even a massage! For weekends, you can join a clubs, or go on trials with an amateur football club! The sky is the limit with Gumtree.

 

Businesses have taken notice of Gumtree, which is why the company have created a new division to handle corporate clients. This is why you can see now product launches, discounts and other forms of business promotions on Gumtree.

 

While Gumtree still revels in its outsider’s status, the company has grown steadily over the last almost two decades. It now has presence in 27 countries in Europe, Asia, Oceania, and North, South and Central America.
