messages says I am too busy to respond?

why does my message say I am too busy to respond??

One you got or one you sent?

Two things, you may not be aware, but this is the Australian site and the functions available on eBay US are different to what we have here.

However, I do know that there is a setting US sellers can use to block messages from other eBay members unless they are involved in a transaction. If you go to My eBay > Account > Manage Communication with Buyers, then edit the section where it says "Allow potential buyers to contact you" (make sure it says Yes).

Is that the exact wording...."too busy to respond"?

If not, what is the exact wording?

I can see manage Q & A within manage communications with buyers but not allow potential buyers to send questions option. although they do question so I guess somethings ticked somewhere

interesting over the last month I had a buyer who i thought was a npb say they had emailed several times and got a message saying I chose not to respond!!! never heard that before.  we got over that hiccup the buyer paid and they are very pleasant, so i'm wondering what was happening  in that case....
