What are My Messages?
This is one of the newest features of our platform. We changed the way potential buyers and sellers can communicate using our service. If you are interested in a particular listing, navigate to it and simply type in a message in the “Send message to poster:” box and click send. A message will be sent to the individual who created the listing. Your information will not be visible to the lister unless you include it in your message.
Once the individual has read your message, if they choose to respond, you will be able to read that response in your “My Messages” section. You will also receive an email notification alerting you about the new message. You will have the ability to communicate with the lister until you both are ready to share your information, negotiate a price, and set an appointment with the issuer’s Transfer Agent to finalize the transaction.
What are Favorites?
Favorites allow users to keep an eye on a particular issuer. To use this feature, visit an issuer and simply add that issuer to your favorites.
You have three options:
1. What type of alert would you like? Alerts on notices to buy, sell or both.
2. How often notices should be sent: Immediately, Daily or Weekly.
3. How long you would like to receive the alert. You could choose to receive alerts for just a week or you could select alerts to be sent indefinitely. The choice is yours.
