An accused Gumtree fraudster charged with swindling more than $8000 off customers has been refused bail.
Ben James Butler appeared at Maroochydore Magistrates Court by video from the watch house on Friday to face 27 charges.
The court heard Mr Butler allegedly defrauded more than 20 people after advertising items for sale online between September and January.
Police prosecutor Brendan Newman objected to a bail application saying it was likely Mr Butler would be sentenced to jail if found guilty of his charges.
"This is a calculated plan by the defendant (allegedly) posting things on Gumtree, receiving money from people interstate and in Queensland," Sergeant Newman said.
