Gumtree
Posting is easy. Simply click on Sign In located at the top right of every Gumtree page and follow the instructions below.
Click the Post an Ad button at the top right corner.
On the next page, click on Start your listing. You’ll also see a list of Popular Categories. If your ad falls under one of those, you may click on that instead.
Enter an appropriate title for your ad. Use clear, concise, and relevant keywords to help your ad appear in searches. Then click on Next.
The site will suggest a category for your ad based on the title you entered. If the category looks good, you can click on it to select it. If it doesn’t fit, you can also manually select a category from the options available. You will have to select a main category as well as a subcategory. Click on Next once done.
After selecting the category, you'll be taken to a page where you can provide more details about your item. Pay close attention to fields with an asterisk (*), as these are mandatory to fill out.
You may enter a price, as well as upload photos. It’s a good idea to research similar ads to choose a competitive price, and include as many clear photos as possible.
You’ll also be able to type out your ad description. It’s a good idea to be as detailed as possible. This helps your ad be more successful.
Near the bottom, you’ll have the option of upgrading your ad with paid features to improve its visibility. These are optional, unless your ad is in a category with a mandatory listing fee. In this case, you will be required to select a payment bundle to complete your ad. This article has more information on affected categories.
Once done, you can click on Post Ad. If you’d like to make changes to your ad after it has been posted, you can do so from the Manage Ads page.
