Payment method required to send messages???


I just received the following notice when trying to respond to a message a member sent to me.  The message was about audio gear and had nothing to do with buying or selling.  Is this a new requirement?  

You must have a verified phone number and payment method to send messages.

Just received this same message yesterday. I guess I'm done using Audiogon's message system. They aren't getting my credit card number for this purpose.
