What’s the difference between a sent message and messages in my outbox?
I was in the middle of trying to purchase a print but I am not sure if my messages are now being received or not. Our first conversations are all in sent messages and the last 4 messages I’ve tried to send are all still in outbox. Anyone with more info?

RiotAct's response is spot on.
Once the recipient has read the message/s they will be moved from Outbox into Sent messages. I was also confused by this when I started PM'ing. Once you understand how it works it's a nice feature in that it let's you know when a message has been received.
Maybe relabeling the Outbox to read "Sent/Unread" or moving sent messages directly to the Sent folder and having an icon or label to display the messages received status would be more intuitive (originally I misspelled intuitive as initiative. Ha, thanks mfaith).
