This new classified approach does not preclude the seller and buyer talking.

If the buyer wants to talk, he can message you privately and include his phone number. If not, he just buys. All this can take place 24/7.

I can't tell you how many times I have called to tell a seller I want to buy only to have to leave a message. Seller comes home and picks up messages. The first messages are the last to be heard. So, someone who called after me is quite often the one who gets the item because the seller does not think it through. He does not care anyway. He just wants a sale.

Emailing your interest can end up with the same problem. People tend to read the last one first. So, you, as the early bird don't get the worm.
