Less than 60 seconds between PMs
This suggestion is simple but would immensely help some of us "market-fags." I, myself, get about 20-40 PMs a day (some high-traffic days can see me with 50 or more), and I send out at least 15, every day. That's 15 minutes of waiting for my PM timer to get down to zero.
Anyway: I'd like to see $xx donors able to bypass the 60-second PM spam limit. I'd be fine with 30 seconds as a reasonable compromise between spamming and practicality.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
I agree, though I'm not a market fag, I can entirely see how the wait can be annoying and given the bypass having a donor prerequisite, any potential abuse has been accounted for.
Support.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
I personally don't need it however, for those who have a store and are active in the market will get more PMs then others. So I fully support your suggestion as that could get annoying at times.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
5$+ donators should get get 10 seconds.
If there isn't a time on it, you can accidentally double click = spam.
I support what I've stated above.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
Support. 60 seconds is extremely long when you're trading with several people at once via PMs.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
Also, many of my PMs are sent in one block. I'll log in from a night's rest and see 10 new PMs, and 8 of them will be worth replying. This would just make a lot less of a headache for these moments. We'd all appreciate 60 dropping as low as possible. 
@Lym, 10 seconds might be a bit low. Unless I'm mistaken, PMs have a little more server load than normal posts do, so they should at least have just as strict of spam filtering as posting does.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
Support, though I don't know if vBulletin supports this (esp. this older version).

Yeah, this is the only potential problem I can see. Mods don't have a timer, but maybe it can only be eliminated and not just reduced. Hope not.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
No Support. This time limit is set to avoid spam.
If there would be no limit, Bots/Spammers could easilty go through every member and send him a spammy message.

That's why it would be for donators.
Pretty sure bots wont donate, just so they can spam.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
Support, when I was pming people about my free names, it was REALLY annoying to wait so long between pms (I had to send twenty...). I think $5 donators should have it reduced to 45 seconds and $50 donators should have it reduced to 30 seconds.

Support, it should be reduced to ~30 seconds.
I have the same issue, it's quite annoying, and a minute wait is pretty useless.

I can't imagine why you would turn it off?
If it's annoying, just ignore the PM's.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
I support this for a donator-only perk.

Re: Less than 60 seconds between PMs
It would be a nice donator perk. Maybe for $25+ ($25 doesn't have anything special).
