If you Like eBay....

...then you'll love Gumtree.

Ever wished you could sell larger items on eBay without having to limit them to local bidders who collect from you? By reducing your potential buyers, you don't reduce your fees payable to eBay.

The answer is here, and I just enjoyed making my first £15 on it.

Gumtree allows you to list anything for sale and upload up to three pictures, all for free. It's local - organised around cities in the UK so your buyers are local people who can collect that table, oven or weight lifting set that would go down like a lead balloon on eBay. A full range of categories means that you can even advertise or find jobs, property or flatshares - all for free.

My first sale was a pine table and benches sold to a couple in Totterdown. Bristol,apparentlyy, is emerging as a prime location for Gumtree users outside of London.

Goodbye Friday ad. The future is Gumtree. How much? Free!
