responding to classified ads

[Martin of WickParticipant @martinofwick]

How are you supposed to respond to an ad / contact seller? I can only see a PM route?

FAQ and ‘help with classifieds’ is no help whatsoever in that context.

Yes PM is the way to do it now. Unless the seller puts a phone number in the description.

I am having the same trouble, trying to contact Mike Hurley. Whatever I enter in terms of an address ? name doesn’t work.

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

Should not need to enter a name, just click on his name in the advert which will take you to his profile then click Private Message

 

[Martin of WickParticipant @martinofwick]

Thanks, bit different to the old  one then. Hmmm….

I wonder if those selling are aware that they won’t be getting an email and will have to be looking out for messages on the site instead? Not sure if the site alerts you to the fact there is a message unless the ‘message’ button is clicked. I never bother to look as a rule.

Relieved to see I was not the only one mystified. Perhaps we need an addition to the FAQ or classifieds help with a bit of explanation.

[ChrisLHParticipant @chrislh]

If my experience in the last day or two  is anything to go by, you get an email telling you you have a message.

[Mike HurleyParticipant @mikehurley60381]

Yes, email notifications seem to be working fine.

The messages system seems to work very well from my recent experience.
