Are you hoping to sell your once-loved items, or grab yourself a bargain, without paying high-street prices? With over 1.5 million ads live on Gumtree at any time, it’s the perfect place to buy or sell second-hand goods in its For Sale and Motors categories. But how do you do so easily whilst overcoming potentially awkward situations during the process, such as meeting the buyer or seller in person, knowing what to do if the item doesn’t look as though it was described, and negotiating on price? That’s why Gumtree’s teamed up with the How to Academy and negotiation expert, Gavin Presman, to create a guide to ‘The Etiquette of Buying and Selling Online’. Free to download, it offers simple tips for both buyers and sellers to help them confidently navigate the online marketplace process, from making first contact, to meeting to retrieve/handover the item, to the transaction itself.
