This may sound ridiculous, but there are a number of people who don't know how to use the Private Message function.

Going a step further, there are also people who either never realize they have a private message or simply just don't check them.

That's why I previously mentioned about putting a phone number in the body of an ad. I guess the bottom line is there isn't any one answer that will appeal to the masses and make everyone happy. Oh, well . . .
