Payment method required to send messages???


I just received the following notice when trying to respond to a message a member sent to me.  The message was about audio gear and had nothing to do with buying or selling.  Is this a new requirement?  

You must have a verified phone number and payment method to send messages.

Is your phone number verified? (Green circle with a white check mark in the center, right of the phone number?)

Or does a red circle with an X show to the right of your phone number? Not verified.

After you entered the phone number did you click on Update Account, at the bottom of the page?

Did 2FA send you a 6 digit code? Did you enter the 6 digit code in the box provided below your phone number?

You may have to go to the bottom of the page and click on Update Account again.

 

You have to have a verified phone number before you can disable SMS 2FA.

.

Disable SMS 2FA:

If you have a verified phone number...

Disable SMS 2FA. (Light gray dot to the left of the oval).

Go to the bottom of the page and click on Update Account.

An SMS 2FA 6 digit code will be texted to your Cell phone.

Enter the code in the rectangle box on your edit account page.

Go to the bottom of the page and click on Update Account

.

That should do it.

It worked for me. No 2FA. I can Logout, Login, No 2FA. I can clear my History, sign off my computer. Sign back on. Go to A’Gon, Login in. NO 2FA text to my phone.

I just can’t reply to a message sent to me. I can send messages to members...

.

"I just can’t reply to a message sent to me. I can send messages to members"

Same here.

Just verified with Tammy that you do indeed need to put in a payment method in order to message back and forth.

I replied to the message you sent me the other day. Check your messages. I sent you two.
