Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Elizabeth, my problem isn't that you backed out. For anyone who thinks that, go back and read the emails. I was nothing but accommodating to this person. My problem is that you LIED about the reasoning, and then went bumping your ad looking for another female albino.
People say all the time that they want to warn people about scammers and possibly misleading ads, how is my posting on those ads different? It's not.
I didn't see that the issue was worthy of a BOI thread, therefore I didn't start one. Pity not everyone can be as mature.

No way, not at all. Im just saying taht unfortunately you cant always judge a book by its cover, sometimes you have to open it and read the sleeve.

Elizabeth, do you think Shadera is a BAD GUY?
If I were to hold a grudge on everyone who's inquired then backed out, I wouldn't have any time to get anything done. It's part of business, either you deal with it professionally and let it go because you know that there are more than just that single prospective customer... Or you act out on it.
Posting on the OP's ad was a little unnecessary.
Sorry Shadera, atleast she spelled everything wrong

LOL Dean gezz haha..
Well I agree both sides of this is silly.. No need for either..
Did any one lose MONEY or a reptile? No? Not much harm done then other than the loss of a sale you were hoping for. Happens to me, not fun BUT not worth this silliness either guys!
I might have had it our with her in private but not worth getting a bad BOI threat and an infraction.. eeeeeek!

Why is everyone missing the fact that I don't care that she backed out, I care that she LIED to me about why she was backing out then went bumping her ad like she didn't think I'd notice. I can't stand someone with no integrity.
Did anyone actually read the emails, or are they going just based on the forum posts?

And the thing that totally eludes me, is how people can agree that a bad guy thread is warranted for a few posts in ads that no one probably even saw.
I think it might be time to sell off my collection and find a different hobby.

Shadera, BREATHE...
I dont think anyone here thinks that a bad guy thread about you is warranted. In fact, most people are saying that it should have been handled differently from the start, from both parties.

I can understand where you're coming from Shadera. Elizabeth - all you needed to say was that you'd decided to continue looking, and thank her for her consideration. At the moment, I have several snakes for sale, and get daily inquiries about them. Many people swear they'll be sending money "right away" only to never have it sent. We get used to people backing out, so that's definitely not where the issue lies. The issue lies in the time Shadera put into giving you the time and effort and the benefit of the doubt in a very generous payment plan, and you making up an excuse rather than just admiting you no longer wanted to complete the deal. You just needed to be honest, and say "I've decided to keep looking, sorry if I took up your time, and thank you for your generosity." Sometimes saying the TRUTH goes a lot further than saying a lie that you think is kinder

Are you kidding me?
The OP seems like they have the possibility of being a deadbeat buyer anyhow and I know you were just trying to warn everyone about that possibility but, you know we are not supposed to detract from their thread.
Dean be careful here. Do you have any proof that she hasn't paid for anything to make this statement? You are getting into some libelous territory. Just because she changes her mind doesn't make her a deadbeat buyer.
I don't think this thread is merited but obviously others do. I think both arties should walk away and move on. In time i think they both will realize that it really had no significance on their well being. Good luck to both and keep herping.
