If I, as a provider, only have a basic membership, and I see an ISO post... Can I message them directly first? I get the pop up that it's only a VIP function, yet I am able to receive messages from other people and reply. I've asked admin before, but I don't think I got the actual answer to my question.
As a provider with her reviews linked to your handle you have limited Provider VIP, which means you can read the juicy details of your own reviews, you can whitelist clients, and you can send and receive PMs. If you are not able to, then It could be a glitch. If it still doesn't work, you should ask admin again. There shouldn't be a difference between replying to a PM that you received, and sending an initial PM to someone from one of their board posts. I'm sending you a test PM.
Unfortunately it looks like your attempt to purchase VIP membership has failed due to your card being declined. Good news is that we have several other payment options that you could try.
