Most popular are books, DVDs, CDs, and vinyl (51%), furniture (45%), clothing and fashion (41%), homewares (31%), and collectibles (30%).2

"In May, we launched Gumtree Pay – an Australian-first innovation. Gumtree Pay makes it easier for Australians to buy and sell items using their preferred payment methods, while avoiding the hassle of cash. With PayPal being a favourite among Aussies, adding it to our payment options is a huge win for our users. PayPal’s Pay in 4 is yet another exciting feature that offers greater flexibility and convenience. This launch underscores our commitment to offering solutions that make shopping on Gumtree smarter, safer, and more seamless for Australians,” said Tommy Logtenberg, CEO of Gumtree Australia.
