Title: Gumtree no longer free.
Post by: terrymaloy on March 25, 2014, 12:56:24 pm

Been a while since I advertised my services on Gumtree.
Everyone likes a freebie...but not anymore with Gumtree. Just had a look...
£6 to start with a basic ad...then add on a further £7.95 if you want it to stand out.

Strange, doesnt seem to be many carpet cleaners on Gumtree at the moment.
Wonder how long before the others follow suit.

They have also stopped the " Work Wanted" section in jobs. I have used a few people off there in the past who posted in the work wanted section. This is obviously a ploy by them to force company's to pay for an ad to find an employee. I suppose they have to make some money somehow.

Its a good thing as loads of carpet cleaners near us were blasting out loads of the same adds so your add would be right at the bottom.

Now we have to pay, its cut out all the wallies.
