Most sellers will only want to be called to chat if you have serious interest in making a purchase
from them. If you have a general question that is not time-sensitive, you might just want to
send the seller a message.
Summon seller to chat
Send seller a message
Please describe what you'd like to chat with the seller about (required):
What message would you like to send to the seller?
You can use this window to paste an item from the current seller's booth into their chat window. Just
enter the item ID (see right picture) of the item you wish to paste into chat:
Note that you can paste an item into chat without using this dialog box if you type "@item [item number]" into the
chat text box. For example, entering "I like this item @item 1234" would paste the item with ID 1234 into the chat box, after
your chat text, assuming item #1234 was a "for sale" item in the booth you entered that line.
Paste the item with item ID into chat window. You can find an item's ID under the "Advanced Details" heading when you're viewing an item.
Only items from the current seller's booth may be pasted into chat.
I love @item 1
@[user name] [secret message]
Send a direct message to a user that can't be read by others.
@bonanzlemark I have a secret crush on you!
@me [does or feels something]
Output text in the form of an action. If you were logged in as bonanzlemark, the example at right would output "bonanzlemark likes bacon" into the chat window.
