We have tried pinging Gumtree website using our server and the website returned the above results. If gumtree.com is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress...

Can't Access Gumtree - Troubleshooting Instructions

If the site is UP but you cant access the page, try one of the below solutions:

Browser Related Problems

  • Force a full refresh for the site. This can be achieved by pressing CTRL + F5 keys at the same time on your favourite browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.)
  • Clear the temporary cache and cookies on your browser to make sure that you have the most recent version of the web page. For instructions choose your browser : firefox chrome internet explorer

Fix DNS Problems

A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.

  • Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
  • If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.
  • Check our help page for step-by-step instructions on configure dnshow to change your DNS.

Can't post ad as can't register - your email comes to me then I click on link and you say it's not recognised!

Helen Wei Lin Cheung · 26 March 2013 - 09:51

I've sent an email to Gumtree. They've replied saying that they are working on the issue but just literally now they've sent me another email saying about that email I've sent to them and that if I do not reply to them within the next 24 hours they'll assume everything is fixed. Clearly it hasn't so I've done another follow/chase up. Not impressed. :/

Hamza Sanchez · 26 March 2013 - 02:55

I've tried posting adds in 3 different accounts and keeps on failing. Something majorly wrong with the website.

Marta Mazzucchi · 25 March 2013 - 09:39

It's at least a month that the website doesn't work! I am very disappointed!!!

Gwenndy Nieto · 24 March 2013 - 03:13

Sandra Bain · 18 March 2013 - 05:48

Maria Koutsoumanis · 11 March 2013 - 06:33

Mehrdad Modir · 10 March 2013 - 17:22

Ally Anderson · 4 March 2013 - 08:28

Stuart Livingstone · 25 February 2013 - 07:53

Many people are getting the "500 Gumtree is broken" error when they apply for jobs, but it doesn't seem to affect everyone. Very odd.

Susanne Campbell · 22 February 2013 - 14:25

Cristina Cardona Planells · 9 January 2013 - 09:49

What's wrong with Gumtree??? I have been trying to reply job ads and always comes out the message "500- Gumtree is broken" It's been like that for weeks now.

Brian Chamberlin · 6 January 2013 - 04:52

Surely Amazon have some of the best I.T. people around so if they have taken over Gumtree I dont think they would allow the system down this long.

Brian Chamberlin · 6 January 2013 - 04:49

Amazon.com have taken Gumtree over and bought them. There either intergrating Amazon with Gumtree and theres issues or a synical corporate profit making scheme may have took place strategically before Christmas so folks buy off Amazon (personal opinion.) that may not be truebut there is logic in it.

Anna Thornby · 3 January 2013 - 11:39

Cant post an ad at all, has been "processing" for a day now and no reply from gumtree

Gvantsa Abashidze · 1 January 2013 - 14:04

gumtree is down big time:(

Chris Dolman · 27 December 2012 - 22:51

I have to keep setting up new email addresses coz as soon as i reply to an advert my email gets blocked i have spoken to gumtree but they just say nothing wrong with the site and that my addresses are not blocked but something is wrong coz i never get a reply to my responses whatsoever so i am going to stop using gumtree as its a complete waste of time

Sara Raven · 13 December 2012 - 03:49

I can't reply to ads on Gumtree. Every time I enter my information and reply to an ad, the page just refreshes instead of sending the information. Help!

Angela Marshall · 11 December 2012 - 03:49

The connection was reset. The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I too have been having problems uploading a photo for an AD. contacted customer services and got a reply;

Thank you for your email. I have noticed that people who are having issues uploading pictures are either:

* using 3G or mobile internet

* using an iphone/ipad/ipod device (unfortunately we don't accept pictures through these devices, but our technical team are working on this urgently)

* using outdated browsers such as Internet Explorer

* using Internet Explorer with Add-Ons that interfere with the site

* trying to upload large sized images and getting a time out message (please try and resize using http://www.picresize.com/ )

For more help uploading pictures please copy and paste the following link: gumtree.force.com/Help/knowledgeSearch?c=All&k=pictures You could also try using a different web browser. See here for more details: http://upgradeyourbrowser.net/

Natasha Bain · 23 October 2012 - 09:47

Gumtree.com is playing up again (in the UK)! It lets you get onto the site but as soon as you search for something it just stays on that page teasing you but you can't look down the page OR look at anything! Grrrrr

Abdul-Aziz Ahmed · 22 October 2012 - 14:47

Luv-dup Luvdup · 22 October 2012 - 12:33

Gumtree is down in Essex too.

Chris Gray · 22 October 2012 - 10:10

gumtree is a shambles, its always down, they need to sort it, so frustrating, and customer services is a joke, owned by ebay you would think it would work better.

Sandra Hughes · 22 October 2012 - 03:36

...Guessing something serious is up for the entire worldwide server to be down..?

Dave Wilkinson · 22 October 2012 - 03:10

Richard Cleary · 7 October 2012 - 05:55

Tried countless numbers of times to post an ad today and yesterday and just keeps going back to the top of the page or back to view active ads! Is the site down?

Pepper-Blue Harrison-Pritchard · 7 October 2012 - 01:45

Is Gumtree down? Trying to put an ad up but keeps going to the top of the page when I click post instead of going to a different page. I have tried Internet Explorer and Google Chrome as well. I'm guessing it's gumtree and not which browser I am using.

Jerry Franks · 6 October 2012 - 08:25
