There's been a few times I've messaged people to suggest either corrections or improvements; obviously as appropriate and never rude. One time I went over to purchase an item which had been accidentally misrepresented and I helped them improve their posting (I didn't buy it) and they were grateful because they didn't know the first thing about what they were selling (ie electronic item bought on points 10yrs prior and never used... and they somehow thought it was a different/better version than they had). I think it's OK, sometimes, to offer to help if done with a kind heart and not being snarky or an ahole.
