There are certain things that are blocked, but it is not explained why. It is frustrating.

This site should prompt people to choose a payment plan before completing registration so that we don't waste our time

I would rather not have to pay to view my inbox. I think that payment should include bonus access, NOT basic things such as messaging people.

I think your app is absolutely ridiculous in that you don't share with anyone up front that we can't even read messages we receive about listings unless we subscribe for at least 7 days. You should be ashamed of holding people prisoner! You have a scam app that can't even be upfront enough to let people know this right away. What a joke!

The memberships are too expensive and you cannot read messages or see if it is a real message or a email blast from people signing up for the service...

Really obnoxious that I can't even see messages towards me unless I sign up for a subscription. Others should know before they to suffer.

I don't like having to pay just to receive messages and respond to messages. It already costs enough money to move into a place... this is just adding more insult to injury.
