No need to stay away from Facebook, just don't sent large amounts of money to someone you have no knowledge of by a method that cannot be recalled!

Agreed…..made plenty of purchases on Marketplace.

The problem with this is it works the other way round as well.
If the buyer is dodgy and can recall their money they can rip off the seller.

Thanks for the warning Stuart.
Whatever everyone's opinions, at least now we are all aware of this one!

Some people only learn the hard way.

Gumtree cash on collection. I don't entertain postage or payment by any other means.
