I put up for sale several items over the last week or so. Today I received many, many email notifications from people who had sent me a PM days ago for various items which I never received until now. There is a short thread on this in the English Cafe.

However I want the Mods here to know about the problem. I'm sure many people were wondering why I hadn't responded to them. Sorry folks but somehow the inbound emails got hung up in cyberspace between you, Nikonians and me.

Until it's fixed I would suggest that anyone with something to sell pay close attention to your listing. If someone posts that they have emailed you but you haven't received it then I would suggest that you update your listing so that other person knows you still haven't received their email.

Check your 'Bulk' e-mail bin (if you have Yahoo). I had a buyer reply end up in there and I just happened to check it. Sadly, I had sold the item to the next in line thinking the first person never responded.

No...it wasn't in the "bulk" email for me either... I just received an email from Feb 23rd that the potential customer told me he sent and I told him he didn't. Had I receive this we could have worked out a deal before he bought elsewhere. I am sorry. This just showed up in my email box this morning also. There is a problem and the OP is correct... As seen in the info I copied from the email header below, you can see the dates in and out of the nikcluster address...
***Removed as Mods have resolved this issue***

My apologies to my potential buyers...

I checked my spam mail, and they weren't hung up in there. They all came directly to my regular eMail that I use through BellSouth.

I had the same thing happen to me, receiving emails and PM notifications from Nikonians in bulk this morning and have sent the moderators a note.

Apologies to all thar that tried to reach me regarding items that I had for sale.

Best regards,

Same here
Might be best to have people directly e-mail you instead of via Nikonians.

Had about 12 e-mails dumped to me this morning.
Strange thing is that I received a couple yesterday (real time)

Only problem with that is you are not supposed to put your email address in the sale ad...

Same behaviour for my FS add. Fortunately the poster appended the message string. Two days delay seemingly for the email notification.

let us know whats going on.

I had the same problem, checked my email this morning and had 20-30 emails some in my inbox, other in my span folder, all from this forum.

My apologies to those I may have missed due to this delay.

What would help, is if those who pm the seller would reply to thread first. I had far more people contact me than reply to the thread, so there would have been no way to reconcile the two.

It happened to me this morning too. I got 13 emails on something that I already shipped out a week ago today. A lot of the emails were from around the 17th of this month.



take care

Same here. In fact, I got email notification for a post in a thread to which I subscribed. The post was from Feb 13 -- a two week delay. This was not in the "I Want To Sell" forum.

If you encript a little and put your email address in a form similar to "nameatISPdotcom" it will be okay and folks in the forum should be able to figure it out. It is never a good idea to put your actual mail address online.

The cause of this problem has been investigated and resolved. An explanation of what happened can be found in this other thread.

Thanks, everyone.
