Messaging System

Since we don’t like spam very much, we decided to implement a system where your email does not need to be exposed.  In
order to do this, we use a private messaging system. Whenever somebody is interested in an item you are selling or service
you are providing, the person interested will be able to send you a private message. You will be notified when a private message
is received, so you don’t have to check your account every day. You will then be able to further communicate via the private
messaging system.  This will allow you to provide personal contact information only when necessary to complete a sale.
