Here is the latest

I had a vet appt scheduled for October 6th to take the tortoises in for a positive ID (as proof for paypal that they were not as described).

On October 3rd I got a message from paypal that they had decided in my favor with the steps to resolution (return of the animals).

So, I informed the vets office I did not need the appointment.
I notified the seller and returned the animals.
Within a few days Paypal refunded my money (less shipping charges).

I would not count on this happening again with paypal. I have had far more egregious transactions in the past where paypal did not find in my favor (including one where nothing was ever sent to me and paypal still did not find in my favor), but in this particular case it turned out to be a help (though I lost on shipping I do consider it a victory).

Thanks to all for your help and support throughout the ordeal.
I hope this thread will act as a warning to others about buying from this seller (who now has the red foots back so they may end up listed here again).
