Think I missed out on a deal recently, as I responded to a classified but never heard back. Happened again this week; I only found out because I left a message at the bottom of the classified and the OP replied that she did not receive my inquiry. Would you please investigate, as this appears to be more than an isolated incident?

Happens to me a lot, I figure the members don't want my money. Aaaaand, I don't exactly need the patterns I inquired about anyway.

TBH, I quit using them after the last 4 attempts went ignored, but it may have been an issue after all.

Oh my no! I sell items in the classifieds to pay for my PR membership.

I want every response to my ads!

Here's an update. It seems the problem was with some yahoo email addresses. I've made some changes in the code now which should prevent mail bounce back problems.

Is this happening again? I've inquired about 2 items a couple days ago, and never heard anything. First time I've tried since this was posted, and it seems again I can't get anywhere with the classifieds.

I always use the contact seller text box, not the comment box below the classified. I also send a copy of my inquiry to myself. HTH, marec

I do use the contact button, although I don't send it to myself.

Ah well. I'll find what I asked about at some point if it's meant to be.

Yeah, I'm wondering if it's working too. I contacted someone (copied myself w the message) -- crickets. I have gmail, Internet provider is Comcast, can't get more mainstream than that. The item is still listed, doesn't say "pending offer" or SOLD or anything... What to do? I clicked on the If interested, contact the seller button. Thanks.
