How do I communicate with another registered member of ttm.com?

Maybe a PM or e-mail will do the trick.

No PM system so how do I get the email? No listing of members either.

I have so many things going on. I don't have time to come to forums as usual.

You can't communicate to anyone, but only to the person who has started the auction. To send message to a seller on TableTennisMarket.com, click the user name from the auction area. In the next page, there will be option like ask the seller a question. You can contact the seller that way.

Glad to see you back Varghese.
The trouble is the seller can't make contact with the buyer; the buyer doesn't have a problem.
The problem is the seller can't contact the interested party who asked a question using the swap button. For example, a guy asks a seller,"well, what do you want to trade for your Korbel?" The seller can't answer because there is no PM system (contact seller or ask the seller a question) like Ebay. You can understand the buyer's point of view because he can't make an offer out of thin air. More likely he will be rejected time after time if he doesn't know what the seller wants. For example he would offer rubber after rubber but didn't know the seller wants blades. He could offer sh blade after sh blade but the seller wants cpen.
I, as a seller who is looking for a trade I like to keep an open mind and like to see all the offers, and so I can't say I want just a used T05 for my Korbel. So Pm is needed in ttm.com.

BTW I solved the problem by accepting the swap (although there isn't anything to accept. Then I am able to email the buyer and tell him what I wanted and he can send me a list. While a trade is in discussion, the auction can be kept going by starting another auction of the same product with nothing changed. What a lot of work.

I am sure Varghese will look into that and improve matters.

Anyway, welcome back varghese. Really missed your enlightening comments.

Well, I am suggesting that there should be a private channel for the buyers to ask questions and the sellers to answer them regarding their products.
