I've just bought Gravity and don't seem to be able to get custom field data to show in a post. I will be using the form for property rental post creation whereby advertisers will be able to pay, complete the form and for me to check and publish. I've created a couple of spoof custom fields and ensured I've got a title and/or body but the custom fields don't show, any thoughts would be appreciated.

I just checked out your Gravity Forms setup and it is saving the custom field data just fine. If you edit any of your test posts and look at the Custom Fields area you will see that the data exists and is there.
The problem is you aren't displaying those custom fields in your theme template file. You have to tell your theme to output the custom fields and where to display them. Right now they aren't being displayed because the theme isn't telling them to be displayed.
You will have to read up on how to use and display custom fields in your theme.
Here are some good resources:
