There are multiple platforms all over the world where users can post ads to sell their goods or services. Gumtree is one of the platforms, and their Terms of Service does not mention Bitcoin-related sales as being illegal. However, that had not prevented the platform from suspending one user’s advertisement, as he was trying to sell a book for Bitcoin.

At the same time, this removal does not come as a complete surprise, as Gumtree is under the same umbrella as eBay, another platform which does not allow Bitcoin payments to be made. Without their terms of service clearly stating that fact, however, things remain in a gray area, and there is very little users can do about it, other than complain.
