Generally if you post an ad it is live on site within a few minutes. Sometimes ads get caught up in 'processing' and may take up to 8 hours to go live. If your ad is still processing after 8 hours then please let us know. There may be a problem.
If your ad has been removed from site, it is normally due to a breach in Gumtree rules. These include posting duplicate ads, posting ads in the wrong category, or category specific rules. Please check out our posting rules section to see where you may have gone wrong.
