Why do they keep ****ing about with gumtree?

[daemon]

I used to be able to search for 'v6' on gumtree, which quite nicely brought up all ads with v6 in the header.

Not now - it splits off the 6 and searches on the 'V' so you get pretty much everything back now.

Why do they need to fk with these things???

I think things like this is why gumtree is one of the only places left to scoop up a true bargain these days.

Found a mis-spelt ad for a Legacy recently, stated virtually nothing but with a low price. Arrived and found a gem.

Is it possible to search within, say, 30 miles of a postcode - You can only seem to search by county?

I wish!!

The GumTree App also doesn't allow me to put in my maximum budget for cars. I put in the budget, it searches etc but then its showing every single car in the desired are regardless of price

This is a recent occurrence, last 2 or 3 days

Ebay regularly fk up the search alogorithms. And if you e-mail to tell them, it either takes ages to be corrected, or ignored.

I don't bother with gumtree for all of what's written in this thread and more. Absolute pain to use compared to the alternatives

There are 13 separate regions that I would visit to purchase a car, their system makes trawling the adverts really difficult. Also I hate the tts that list them in multiple regions and relist the adverts every few days to make them appear at the top.
