can someone let me know what are the rules concerning sending pm's on the classified ads forum? I.E how long after joining Pentax User do I have to wait before I can make an offer/buy? Thanking you in advance, Ben.

Unless I'm totally wrong, you need to have made at least 30 posts in the Forum before you are allowed to send PM's. This is not limited to the Classified section, but on the whole Forum.
Best regards

You can make an offer on the thread or ask that the seller sends you a PM and then I "think" you can reply to theirs.

Mike - yes a nOOb can answer PMs but can't initiate them for a month [ well that's what I thought , and that's what happened in my case ] after joining PUF.

It might be a good idea if this was clarified in the terms and conditions, which haven't been updated since this rule was introduced I believe.

I've never clareified it so as not to give unnecessary info to the spammers it's meant to discourage. Suffice it to say you can work around it by making an open approach at first on the forum and an indiviual can PM you, after which you can respond to that person.
Best regards, John
