I've had my account for many years, but have not bought anything before.
I tried to PM a seller and again to reply to an existing PM. I received this error:: Due to the low number of posts on your account, private messaging (PM) is not available without an Upload & Sell membership.
What can I do to be able message the seller/transact?
1. How many posts are required before you can PM?
2. I would expect to be able to reply to a PM another member initiated even if I can't start new PMs.
Depends upon the quality of. your posts, e.g., I doubt that <.............> would count. OTOH, given your CV, you ought to know how to make a meaningful contribution. Just sayin' Anthony
While I'm not sure if frowned upon or against rules, I've posted before asking the Seller if they are open to discussing on another platform (reddit, discord, phone). I don't have enough activity here either to PM, but have verified trades and/or contributions to other communities.
Yeah it is pretty annoying to have to build up a history on this site again before I can engage in that end because of issues logging into my old account.
I'm having somewhat the same issue as I can't get into my old username and not using this account. I tried all the emails to recover password. Is there an admin that can help me get back my old username?
Upper right hand corner of this screen Moderated by Fred Miranda Send him a note. He’s a working photog who does not sit by his computer responding to these issues, so don’t be surprised if you have to do it several times. HTH

Still? I thought the requirement was 25, from my search results
I ran into this issue. I thought whatever, I'll just participate in the M43 board, the system I use most. I got the error that I can't participate in that board until I make 25 posts. Where could I possibly make 25 posts if not in the board for the system I use? Very frustrating.
I’m having the same issue! I was trying to engagement in some of the street photography posts but I couldn’t even post on there because I haven’t made any posts myself… sometimes I enjoy jumping into a discussion rather than starting one!
Exact same issue, have been a member for many years and did once have a Buy/Sell membership. Popped back in to ask a question about a lens for sale I was interested in and got the error message.
