Sent message confirmation.

Hi All , is there a way to determine if a sent message was read by the recipient?
I Have been trying to communicate with a forum member on a item for sale in classified section but never get a response.
Just wondering if the message got through, or maybe just being ignored?
Thanks
Tony

Only if you selected that option when you prepared the message(which the recipient can decline the read notice anyways).

If a seller doesn't respond, move on.
