no response on classified add

[iceman4226]

hello all is there any rules on someone that post an add and they never respond to your PM's

If I sent 2 PMs with no response. I would post in the ad that I have sent multiples with no response. But that is just me. A mod will probably be along shortly to correct me.

You should send personal message and not post on the add because it bumps the add back to the top and a MOD WILL contact you for doing that. Just click on the sellers name and start a conversation and bingo you just sent a PM.

There is no rule that requires a seller to respond.

I have been contacted by mods before...

The OP is prob not contacting you because you are not doing it correctly or playing by the rules.

He is asking but what if he has done that and the seller is not responding. Maybe has a full pm box. I think he knows how to send a pm.

Then its prob sold and just not closed

No, that never happens.

ya I sent a pm 16 min after he listed item and sent 2 pm's or 2 start conversations with no response

How much time has passed. I know it is shocking but I once discovered a seller that only came to INGO once or twice a week.

I sent an "I'll take it" PM shortly after an ad was posted yesterday and received no response. Later in the day it was marked "SPF".

Although I understand not responding to lowball or other ridiculous PM's, some sellers are not polite enough to respond even when you offer to buy at their price. It's the internet and the world we live in.

When he checked his messages and he had one from you saying, I am interested, and another from someone saying perhaps, I will take it, which one would you respond to.

It could be that the seller is ignoring you because they would rather deal with someone who is more established in the discussion forums and has no negative feedback.

Both...

I was just going to suggest the same thing. Sellers look at post counts to see if you are here just to buy things or if you participate in the forum. They like to get to know the people they are dealing with and 160 posts in almost 8 years is pretty low. If they had a member they have conversed with that expressed interest, that is the one they are more likely to respond to.

It has been stressed MANY times on INGO that the classifieds are a perk for the membership. It is the seller's choice who they want to deal with. If they don't view you as an active member, they may not respond to your messages.

Most of the time when I am selling something my friends know to and they tell there friends about said item, so maybe a friend said they would take it or someone they know wanted it ? Who know at this point ??

 

[iceman4226]

Thanks all for your responses all good one's its just frustrating sometimes you kinda think you want to sell it or not maybe they are busy idk

So to get it right..we are trying to get people who by internet standards can be introverted and rude to be kind and responsive? Asking for a friend.
