eh?

get this message when I try to reply to any message on here.

I need to communicate with someone i'm selling something to on the classified.

Now they might think I'm a scammer....

I tried deleting some conversations, it doesn't fix it.

I believe it's because there's a limit on the number of messages you can send as a free member of the website.

We're discussing this internally, bear with us.

@wzzzz can you give me an idea of how often you use PMs please? Just to help cross-reference what we think might be happening. Ta.

Anyone else seeing similar behaviour?

Very very rarely.

Except when I'm selling things and then theres always some back and forth.

So there has been a lot over the last few days as I'm clearing out before house move.

A warning would be good.

Yeah, this is what we're discussing.

Thanks.

OK.

The simplified answer is that you're allowed 20 messages in a 24 hour period. It's a little more complicated than that and a bit weird, but it's third party code so STW is taking this up with the plugin supplier to come up with a better solution.

You should be able to send again now, if you want to retry it.

Any news on this as I’ve just hit my limit?

I use the message system as initial contact, if things start to progress in to a purchase/sale I take it to emails.

The message system can be a bit clunky for me at times.
