- We would be able to avoid being stuck in this loop if the buyer just sticks to their area when searching for an item.
- Another thing to note is that we never accepted payment via PayPal for a Gumtree/OLX sale.
- The buyer can trick PayPal into thinking you scammed the buyer, and the payment can be reversed!
- The best way to buy and sell on Gumtree and OLX is to meet the buyer in a safe place and accept cash only.
