Hello,
Are there any regular users of LeBonCoin here?
It’s a site I’ve used frequently to purchase items or occasionally to sell. When tempted by a purchase in the past I’ve always contacted the seller to ask a few questions, this often helps to get a 'feeling' about the honesty (or otherwise) of the seller.
However I see that the option ENVOYER UN MESSAGE now appears no longer available, one has simply the options ACHETER or FAIRE UNE OFFRE, with the latter option one can only enter an amount without the possibility of adding a text comment. I’ve checked the FAQ but found nothing relevant.
This older link doesn’t seem to help either. https://assistance.leboncoin.info/hc...r-un-annonceur
Any other ideas from LBCoin users?

A brief update on this subject (as nobody has indicated similar problams as myself).
I always put my computer to sleep overnight, never powering it off completely. A few days ago during a storm we had a power outage overnight, resulting in the computer powering off. Next morning I pressed the power button which rebooted the computer on, no doubt resetting certain system parameters. Later that same day I went onto the LBCoin site and noticed that the option ENVOYER UN MESSAGE was present. So as far as I'm concerned, "Here endeth the lesson".

All's well that ends well.....

I buy stuff on it all the time and have no issue contacting sellers as when it’s local I will just try to arrange a meeting somewhere public. To avoid the fee’s obviously.
