GumTree are giving $20 to anyone who lists their car for sale as part of an EOFY promotion.

Users must complete the below steps to claim:

  1. Log into their Gumtree account and create a new listing for their vehicle for sale in the “cars, vans and utes” category on the Website. Please note that listings posted before the Promotion Period, regardless of whether they are renewed during the Promotion Period, will not be eligible. Ads that are incorrectly posted in a category other than “cars, vans and utes” will not be eligible;
  2. Include “EOFY” in the description of their listing; and
  3. Ensure that they enter a valid Vehicle Identification Number (“VIN”) for the listed vehicle.

Full terms and conditions here

Important condition:

Each eligible individual who completes the above steps during the Promotion Period will receive a reward of $20 (Australian Dollars) deposited into the balance of their linked PayPal account on or around 6 July. Any ad listed after advertising for the promotion has ceased will be invalid for the purposes of this promotion and will not receive a reward

    Can confirm I have got it too.
    Eventually found it by first clicking 'wallet' tab (desktop version of paypal page) then on that page you can see it in the 'offers' section on the left hand side.
    Thanks OP for an amazing first post!

          I'll need to pay someone to receive the satchels in that case, so can you include a money order for $5000? Once I've got it and it's reassembled, I'll transfer the $5000, plus another $1000 for your trouble.

  • pantsparty on 18/06/2018 - 15:16

    This seems ripe for taking advantage of - list your car for sale - tell anybody who calls that is has sold already - easy. What is stopping this from happening? Seems a bit too good to be true.

    • Gavman on 18/06/2018 - 15:22

      • tryagain on 18/06/2018 - 17:33

    • [Deactivated] on 18/06/2018 - 15:37
      +4

      That's exactly the point of this. $20 isn't much to bolster the ratings and get people to say "Wow Gumtree is good to sell cars, look at how many people are doing it!"

      It's a marketing scheme that'll probably cost much less than a real one.

          Or worth something, very small, but something none the less. And it can be collected automatically, without fear of redress, along with millions of other tradeable records until 10 years later, the idiots that thought allowing this kind of abuse wasn't risky decide someone should now close the gate. That way they can be paid to smoke more cigars, while everyone else goes looking for all the lost cows.

    Make a PayPal account with the random email and link to gumtree
    When $20 is deposited into the PayPal account, use it to buy some random item from aliexpress
