I've been on the hunt for modules to achieve "ask seller a question" functionality like eBay's for an UberCart Marketplace application.

I have two other issues relating to same thing but different modules. I considered Privatemsg but it currently can't fully support my needs. This module was recommended.

Privatemsg http://drupal.org/node/1136624
UC MarketPlace http://drupal.org/node/1137018

The functionality I seek
- "ask seller a question" on each product node page
- product/node is automatically referenced in the form
- private, two-way communication, buyer to seller
-- email reciepts as well as user account access and follow-up
- buyer can choose to have their question published to the referenced node
-- seller can choose to publish or not ie. FAQ answers
-- if published, buyer's personally identifiable information should be stripped out

How much is readily supported or can be supported?

Cheers

I need the same kind of module. I want the option of user not checking out or purchasing the product but "contact the seller".

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

You should reply to the UC Marketplace issue I've referenced in the original post to show that you support it too.

I'd like to see this functionality, It appears to be a popular feature. Is there anymore information relating to this?

The Author Contact module only sends an email to the node author, it doesn't record or publish the questions or answers like you're describing.

In essence this module is like a portable contact form that sends the form contents to the author of the node. You're looking for something quite different.

I think the PrivateMsg module is more similar to your needs, otherwise maybe you need something custom?
