I am not certain.

If Josh is the recipient of part of the business he is not a volunteer.

I (Joshua Melvin co-owner) have personally handled both of these snakes. The Aru was absolutely perfect while in our care, ate every week, mite free, no sign of any infection anywhere on this guy. I also personally packed and shipped him, and at that time all of our reptiles are inspected for respiratory, mites, and any noticeable infection before they are packed. The Biak went through though same process, no mites, no infection, was eating great, nothing was wrong with this snake either when it was again, personally packed and shipped by me. On the other hand, there were two snakes shipped to us from Jarrid as a down payment on a reptile, both were covered in mites straight out of the bag, we did not complain. Mites happen, you treat it, and you get over it!! Complaining about it does not help the snake. Here are some pics of both snakes straight from Jarrid's face book, in his care. Both snakes looked great.

The reason I made the point is that sometimes, even in some situations where the seller does not want to refund, Paypal can compel it for a variety of reasons.
My second point is more ominous- because of the deposit and payment to a third party, Paypal will not intervene, and I'm wondering if it is possible that this payment setup was intentional by the seller?

Could be.:shrug01: But if so, I wonder if it was set up before hand... because the seller doesn't seem as if he's rolling in dough since he's purchasing cheap, dying animals to sell.:rofl:

:iagree::iagree::iagree: Proof would be helpful. Didn't the buyer have any pre-sale pictures? Where are they?

Where are the ads used to market these animals? Were there any pictures included?
