How do chat and offers work?
When you message a seller, a private conversation opens in your Messages page; the seller answers from their inbox. Use the quick replies to start ("Is this available?"), or tap Make an offer to send a structured price offer the seller can accept or decline. Unread counts show in the header and bottom bar. You can attach photos, and both sides can report or block from the thread. Our system flags risky messages — phone numbers and payment links trigger a safety note. That warning is for your protection; deals that leave SouqSpot chat are the ones that go wrong.
