I'm not sure if I'm going mad or I'm just slightly stupid, but how do you message a seller in the Classifieds?

According to the 'Rules' section:

Making Contact
Unless the seller has added public contact information in their ad (which we do not recommend BTW) then to make direct contact with a seller you need to login to your account. Once logged in you will see an envelope icon next to the seller’s name on their ad. Clicking this will take you to their profile where you can send them a direct message.

My problem is I just can't see an envelope anywhere. If I click on the seller it takes me to their profile showing everything they are selling but I still can't see any way to message them. Can someone post a screenshot showing where the envelope icon is?

Hi, Classifieds is being worked on by Tech just now. I’ll alert them to this issue. For now you could try as Matt suggests, go to the seller’s profile and message them?

Same yes... Had this a few weeks ago and ended up searching for a topic on here by the user, i could then message him from there.

The problem is, you can't directly get to their profile from within the classifieds, so if it's a user who's not a common poster, they're really hard to find.

Yeah, that's where I'm at right now. I don't think they post on the regular forum.

Oh well, at least I'm not going mad 🙂

As weeksy says, you can't get to their regular profile page from the classifieds so maybe let IT know about that as well?

It's a faff currently but what I've been doing is opening a 2nd tab to my profile and changing the name on the end to that if the seller.

E.g.

https://singletrackmag.com/user/nixie/

Becomes https://singletrackmag.com/user/brucewee/

From there you can click the message icon.

@stwhannah please tell me there will be a sold items filter (to hide listings marked as sold by default).
