New here, how do I reply to someone privately?

Hello, I'm new here and I can't figure out how to reply to someone privately. I put something up for sale on the marketplace forum and I want to be able to work out logistics without putting private contact info in the public forum. I see references to private messages here and there, but can't find the actual option to start a conversation. Am I just not finding it or is there maybe a restriction on new accounts or some other problem?
 
Solution
have them PM you. New users are not able to send PMs until they have some activity on the site, to help prevent scams (which happen). Note that I am a volunteer moderator so am not able to unlock this or anything. Tell the person to PM you and you will be able to respond.

Hi,
As stated I'm a new member in conversation with another member.
I am trying to purchase wheels from him. I tried to send him my outside email address and phone number so that we can conclude the transaction, but my message was blocked.

How are we supposed to conduct a transaction if we cannot communicate directly and share payment gateway account information? I'm frustrated, and don't feel I'm doing anything unseemly, or in violation of the club's rules.

I have searched the site, and cannot find info outlining protocols for conducting marketplace transactions between members.

Please help!!!!

Thank you,
Edward Brown

First of all, I suggest you read through this warning, which talks specifically about a continuing effort by a scam ring to scam people on wheels and tires sales here.


Second, If you are already in a PM conversation with them (as in they PMed you ) then you should still be able to communicate through that PM. If you are both new users, I would suggest that you might be better off trying to find someone selling what you are looking for that isnt brand new here, based on the warning above.
