I am trying to sell my car on gumtree in OZ but it doesnt seem to be on site. I go through the process and a message comes up in red at top of page saying it is posted but have not had any email confirmation or not on site. Could someone tell me if I am doing something wrong. What should happen when you click post ad?

I think it takes a little while before it appears on the page.Have a look later on.Good luck with selling your car.

Found answer in help section of gumtree. the message at top of page says 'thanks for posting ad in red with a cross' you can only post an ad in the area local to you. i live in gold coast and am trying to post in gold coast. it says my internet service provider might be using an overseas IP address and need to change settings with them. really confused now as I use bigpond. My laptop is from the UK if that has anything to do with it.

My laptop is from Hong Kong but designed in Japan. I don't think this matters. Perhaps you can try using your office computer?

Solved the problem. you need an email to activate and I was using my .com email. When I put in my AU email address I was able to post ad.
