Ad charges on Gumtree

There’s a lot you can do for free on Gumtree. Sell your car or your kettle, find a new job and a place to stay. All without putting your hand in your pocket.

Sometimes you might need to pay a fee to get your Ad where you want it. The amount depends on:

  • Whether you’re posting as a private individual or a business.
  • The category you’re posting in.
  • Where you are.

You can also pay to make your Ad work harder. Our promotions help you jump to the top of the listings, speed up your sale, or reach out further to your audience. They’re available in every category. Just pick and choose to suit your needs.

To keep the price down, you can trial your Ad without features to see how you get on. Add them at a later date if you think your Ad needs more oomph. Be aware though: if you add them at the start, you can’t take them off until they expire.

Promotion prices

Get an accurate quote for your Ad every time by starting to create your Ad.

For example, if you want more people to see your listing for clothing, you can Bump Up your Ad for £1.49 or make it a Featured Ad for 14 days for £3.99 (prices correct as of July 2023).

You’ll see fees clearly advertised and added up before you check out, so you never get an unexpected charge. You’re under no obligation to post your ad of course.
