Did I read somewhere that members need X number of posts before they can send or receive a PM?

I don’t know if you read it somewhere but it’s true by default. I’m pretty new here and I couldn’t PM for a while. I can’t remember how many posts it took.

True. I think it’s 50 posts. Someone smarter may chime in. You can always ask Rick Bin.

I just sold someone on here 357 super mag brass and he only had one post ? ...... Paid promptly and he could send and receive messages !?

I just barely have PM privileges.

MY PM unlocked at 50 posts...

It looks like he's been a member since 2015, so I think that plays into the PM allowance algorithm.

It’s just a haphazard requirement in my experience. I’ve also sent and received a message recently with a user that had fewer than 10 posts. 🥴

Okie dokie 👌

I had to get 50 posts.

Those who were members when the rule was implemented were grandfathered in. I absolutely despise those who make useless posts just to get their minimum count. It does nothing to garner trust.

Same here.

I still can't send pms but have been able to purchase a couple of items.

Make one more post and give it a try!

Believe it is 50.

Ya it's 50 posts
