Gumtree similiar to ebay?

[Margaret S]

Gumtree is local sales. You could buy from elsewhere of course and set up a meet etc.
Always take steps to ensure your safety though.
Most things on gumtree are being sold by the chap along the street or somebody a bus ride away. Some will actually bring things to your home. Payment is cash when picking up / having delivered.
It is safest to always have someone with you whatever means you agree with the seller so you do not meet strangers on your own.
