Messages and contacting sellers
How you contact a seller depends on the listing type.

Aggregated listings (dealers / portals)
These show buttons like View on Encuentra24, View on dealer site, etc. The button opens the original listing in a new tab; contact happens on that site, not via AutoLista chat.
