You'll have to wait until you've been here a few more days and made a few posts. That's to ward off scammers and spammers. The exact number of those days and posts is not specified.

PM access is unlocked once you have contributed some posts to the forum. This, which is a common practice for similar sites, is to help protect the community from spammers and scammers.

If you need technical assistance, it's best and more common to post your question on the forums so that everyone can read, answer, and learn from. PM is more for direct, personal, messages.

This is an annoying "feature". I just joined because I was interested in a FS listing. I tried to PM but find that I cannot. Is there an alternative mechanism?
