Gumtree has always been a place to find great deals locally. Now, we offer the ability to buy and sell completely online, from payment to delivery, without needing to meet in person. That means more choice, less hassle, and a simpler way to shop and sell across the UK.
Online security is important to us and a priority for our users. That’s why we’ve partnered with a reputable company, MangoPay, to ensure a seamless and secure process. Money is held until the item is delivered, and then released to the seller as long as no disputes are raised by the buyer. Our Customer Service Team is on hand for any issues that arise including item not being as described, item lost by courier and more.

So, what is the difference?
Delivery enabled lets you:
- Buy items from anywhere in the UK
- Pay securely through the platform
- Have your item delivered to your door or a pick-up point
It’s all handled in one place: no need to arrange cash, collections, or messaging back and forth to organise delivery.
What can you buy and sell?
There are over 400 items that you can buy and sell completely online but we’re adding more categories over time so there’s always more to discover. When selling, if the category has delivery available, you’ll see the “delivery enabled” toggle when listing your ad. For buyers, make sure you set your search location to the United Kingdom, and simply turn on the “delivery available” toggle to shop items that can be sent to you.
