[QUOTE="Guest, post: 145091"] If your using Gumtree to buy stuff I would be using Paypal as a Payment processor and make sure you communicate via phone and do an order confirmation where they need to reply to as proof the transaction is being made. COD is great but you don't know what you have in the box until you have paid for the COD. I got scammed once back in 1999 with a camera sale and western union payment. I was willing to take the gamble though because of the price it was selling at and as they say if it is too good to be true then it is. Some sellers on Gumtree will not allow you to pick up an item such as a cupboard unless you pay them first as a security measure. This happened to my brother. [/QUOTE]
