Once you hit 15 posts, give the system 15 minutes to give you the ability to start conversations. You should have it already.

You just needed to give the system some time. You should have the ability to start a conversation now.

2.0 Update! ​

If you want to start a conversation, you need to have at least 15 posts, otherwise you will not see the option to start a new conversation. Make sure your posts are good quality and do not make short, spammy or low-quality posts just to boost your post count - these posts will be deleted and your account may be banned.

When you reach 15 posts, you will see a yellow button appear at the top of your inbox with "Start New Conversation" - this allows you to send a message to another member.

You will also see the option to 'Start a conversation' in the pop up window when you click on another user's name.

Do not start conversations promoting your site or services or asking for things - this is against the rules and may lead to your account being banned.

That's why it's good to read. The search function also works wonders.

You do not have to pay to direct message a seller. You just need 15 posts/messages and that feature will be unlocked. Check the OP of the post you commented on. https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/why-cant-i-start-a-conversation.1040781/

Oh, my bad. I saw that rule, I was just wondering IF I didnt want public posts, if I could pay for Premium and be exclusively DM based. Sounds sketchy, but.. actually no "but", I get it

Now I understand.
I was concerned about that
