Amici,

Over the past 2 months I have PM'd more than 10 AstroMart for sale ads, yet I have never received a response from the seller. In many cases, after a couple of weeks, the items have not been marked SOLD. In these cases, I have again PM'd the seller, but again with no response.

In most cases, I have said that I would purchase the item, and even gave my PayPal ID and zip for shipping calculations

On one occasion, there has been only one hit on the ad, so presumably I was #2 in line. In most other cases, there had been only single-digit hits.

I have even taken to cc'ing my PM to myself, and I am not even receiving them.

Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?

I can appreciate that some sellers are inundated with PMs, and cannot be bothered responding to them all, but I find it hard to believe that this is the case in all sellers that I have PM'd.

The advanced classified search is broken. After a couple of minutes of waiting, a page appears saying that search is broken and sys. admins have been notified. Been like that several days now.

Tried to place a want ad, get to the page to upload a photo, hit "Continue", next page loads blank and my ad disappears. I used an iPad with latest iOS.

I was successful placing the ad using an iMac running OS X, so it must be a mobile problem.

Many thanks to John, Dan and Luis for responding.

In my original post, I feel I may have misled you. I used the wterm "PM" when I really meant that I click on the "Respond to this Ad" button and write a message in the pop-up window. I have clicked on the "CC myself" button, but I have not seen any of these copies sent to myself.

I did respond to Dan's PM. I have also responded to Luis' ad (twice) and selected the CC myself. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Guys, thanks very much for taking the time to respond and help me out. It is very much appreciated!

Cheers,

Shane

Same here. No responses though I have bargain prices. Responded to one of my own ads and nothing came through. It is an AstroMart problem, thougt Herb will swear otherwise.

No response? I guess this is yet another thing broken at AstroMart. Sigh..
