| I have sent a store a question regarding an item that I would like pictures for
to decide if I want to buy it. The description of the item says to ask for pictures.
Is there a way to see when the store owner was last on Bricklink?
Is there a way to see if my message has been received, seen, or read?
In your opinion, how long should I wait for a response before moving on?
Thanks in advance for your insight.

Best you can do is My BL Messages Outbox. If it's still bold, they haven't
opened the message. If it's not bold, it's been opened... But that
doesn't mean they read it.

But that doesn’t mean they didn’t read it.

| If you go to outbox and click on said message it will either say
Read: (N/A) - Message was sent to recipient's e-mail address only
Read: Yes
Read: No

But even if it says no they might have read it in their email

In short, it doesn't mean anything.
Just like Used, New, Packed, Shipped, Received, Completed or Nubs_Select.

But the mail take away is that if yes it will tell you but no won’t

Personally I put pic requests behind open orders, even if it says to ask... but
that said a 2 day max is where I'd give up as a buyer, because as a seller,
I think anything beyond that is unreasonable.
I do message people to tell them it will be xyz number of hours before I can
help them.
always help the paid customers first, imo.
