WHY CANT YOU DELETE A PRIVATE MESSAGE?

Did you edit -> leave the conversation?

Because once you put it out on the internet, it is always out on the internet It is like the opposite of Vegas.

Oh, guess a mod is going to have to chime in because I don't know what the forums do with PM's once both/all parties leave.

I just assumed they get deleted. Only had 2 conversations in my inbox and left one of them when I read your post, and can't pull up the other one anymore.

I believe that Mike can edit/delete PMs.

When you leave the conversation, choose the "ignore future messages" option. Of course, this deletes it from your side, whoever you were having the conversation with will still have it unless they delete also.

The why is probably evidentiary.

Because when there is a dispute (usually starting in the marketplace), there’s no way one party can go back to an earlier post and edit it to revise an agreement, or a photo.

Common Sense- if you agree to something that involves a business transaction- would you not want both parties accountable for what their agreement stated?
