  • Paypal have linked to it on Facebook and Twitter, so I guess it's legit
  • Anyone else having trouble accessing the site? Think it's being hammered!

    And if we have linked several emails to our Paypal account, can we use each of them?
  • I've just signed up for this, but have a question. Does anyone know how to change account details, email etc on their gumtree account? I notice I've a typo in my name and it's starting to annoy me seeing it on the screen, but I can't see "my details" or any other option which might allow me to correct it.
    TIA.

    It's only a game

    Don't keep money in your Paypal account, always transfer it to your bank account as soon as you get it! If you want to 'ring fence' it, just set up a separate bank account for treats, eBay income etc.

    Yeah I know, trouble is I have far too many bank accounts as it is! Plus I rarely remember to move it over. Not to mention the fact that I usually manage to spend it before too long anyway :o. I kind of think that if it's in my Paypal account it's pocket money to spend as I please, but if it's in the bank then I should save it and not spend it on frivolous things. So I do like to have a bit in my Paypal account :rotfl:

    @luvvlyjubbly

    You cant use the deal until its over:

    'After the deal is over, you will receive an email containing a link to your Gumtree Daily Deals Voucher. On this voucher will be a code. Redeem this code at the link above to get your £15 paid into your PayPal account.'

    Just got the email stating code will be available within 24hrs
  • I'm just thinking that I dont have access to the email my paypal account is registered with as my laptop is broken so maybe i should by it as a gift instead as they send it to you in hard form instead dont they?
