in my view it's basically like saying 'can you hold it for me while i check it will fit my bike' then assuming the seller is receptive to 'dibs' they will hold it for a given reasonable amount of time.
if that person decides the part is not suitable the 2nd dibber is up.
that said some sellers say first to pay gets it, which i think is weird as it's like saying 5 people can pay then i'll refund 4 who didn't pay quick enough!!!!
my attitude is show interest on the sale thread and then follow up with a PM, i think that's fairest way otherwise someone can show interest on a thread while someone else is sending a pm first.
dibs is also irrelevant of length of membership in my book.

If you were at a boot sale and saw something you wanted but needed to double check whether the missus (waiting at the car, sticking pins in a voodoo doll of yourself) has brought her purse, would you ask the stall-holder to hang on to that for 10 mins please mate, just need to check something
Or would you say.. can I put dibs on that for 10 minutes while I ask my Mummy if I can have my pocket money early??
I'm hoping that's read as a rhetorical question, in all honesty.
