I'm checking multiple paid members' profiles for a way to DM them on an item they have for sale, and I can't seem to find it anymore.

I do not currently have a paid membership at the moment but if they are selling it means they do so shouldnt I be able to reach out?

You need a paid membership to send OR receive DMs. I think only admin staff can send to a non-paid member.

Since i joined in 2018, at least. You can post in their threads and ask for an alternative means of communication, or just pay for a membership.

You may be thinking of when you used to be able to post public messages to member's profile pages. That was disabled to help reduce scamming.

This.

Or, going back a little further, you could send them an email through the system. This function was available to everyone so long as they had it turned on.

That was when the forums ran on Vbullet and was lost when it changed to xenforo.
 
When I joined back in 2002 anyone could send DMs. It was changed sometime between then and 2010-something, possibly earlier.

Maybe it was sending them an email to bad thats gone
 
And that is as good a place to close this discussion as any...as there are no changes on the horizon that we are aware of and there's no point in going around in circles.
