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.

Can it be PayPal?

@jea48 ,

That, I can't say for certain as I didn't ask for specifics but I don't see why it wouldn't as that's a legitimate payment method.

I have no problem using PayPal. All that would/could be in A’Gons data files is my Email address used for PayPal transactions.

Wow..just wow.

I feel like Capt. Quint being devoured by a land shark.

All the best,

jea48:

It appears that to "reply" one needs to do so via a "new" message.

I don't gather why a confirmed PMT source would be required for PM's of non sales stuff, but whatever.

I will only add a PMT source if I decide to buy/sell again.

Also didn't know that you were from the Des Moines area (or forgot).

I grew up on the South side/moved to CA in 77.
