Sounds potentially dodgy.
How much is the item you are selling? If it's not '000's then I would insist on cash payment. |  |

If you need to seek on advice on whether to reply to that then you should not be selling or buying on those sort of websites. Similar to the gentleman who was conned regarding the season tickets on here. |  |

Thanks for your helpful input to the debate, my mind was already alerted to a potential scam but its nice to seek reassurance from others with more experience and it may also prevent others being scammed on that site. | | | |

What I said was of use. If you do not feel confident or capable of spotting scams online then you should not be using websites like Gumtree which are full of scams and tricks.
I believe this sort of thing should be introduced to the ICT curriculum in all schools. | |

No,you are being deliberately obtuse,the Op asked for some genuine advice and guidance that is all, and he received some excellent replies,for which he was grateful,it's called being helpful,perhaps give it a go once in a while,it's quite therapeutic.  | | | |

You're right, he asked for advice and guidance. My advice and guidance is not to use Gumtree or a similar type of website if you need assistance to be sure whether the response he received is worth considering. I believe it is very good advice. | |

I had a similar response when selling a guitar. Deal with enquiries through the gumtree site. Don't pass on any of your details. |  | | |
| Gumtree advice please on 09:42 - Mar 14 with 1689 views | perchrockjack |

I d only sell to friends and I don't really have any | |
