How to Message a Seller (or Buyer) Before Buying

Both individual sellers and company stores can be messaged directly from their listing - useful for asking about condition, availability, or anything else before you commit to buying.

A product page on Core Market with a "Chat with Seller" button next to Add to Cart

Open a listing

On any product or service page, click Chat with Seller (next to Add to Cart) to start or continue a conversation about that specific listing.

Send your message

Type your question and hit send. The seller sees it in their own Messages / Customer Inquiries inbox.

Attach a photo or PDF

Use the paperclip icon to attach an image (JPEG/PNG/WEBP, up to 2MB) or a PDF (up to 5MB) - handy for sharing a payment screenshot or a document without leaving the chat.

Keep track of replies

All your conversations are listed under Messages in your account, so you can pick up where you left off.
