This inbox keeps all communication organized in one place.
How to Message Another User
You can start a conversation from several places in the app:
1. From a Product Page
If you’re browsing an item and have a question:
Tap the owner’s profile on the product page
Select Message to start a conversation directly about that item
This is a great way to ask about fit, measurements, availability, or delivery options.
2. From the Offers Page
When you have an active or past offer:
Open the Offer
Scroll down to find the Message button
Send updates or ask questions about the rental
This is especially helpful for coordinating delivery or return details.
3. From Your Inbox
Tap the Messaging icon
Hit New Message
Search for the user you want to contact
Perfect for ongoing conversations or reaching out proactively before renting or lending.
Using the Bump Feature
If you’re waiting on a response and the other user hasn’t replied, you can use the Bump button in the chat.
This sends them an additional notification and helps bring attention back to the conversation.
Please use bump politely and sparingly — it’s meant to help, not to pressure.
