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.

This thread is not the place to discuss alternative payment methods. Feel free to raise that subject in the General Business Discussions forum.

I know that you can file a claim through Pay-Pal and try to get your money back.
Also Paypal has their address. So you might be able to contact them that way..
Sorry this happened. I hate being scammed. It usually happens by someone who lives so far away they feel safe enough that you just won't show up on thie r door step one morning.. Trust me I have thought about a cross country trip wearing a diaper Just to be that person on peoples door step just to surprise them.
I hope this works out for the best.

Actually when I filled a dispute, I was well within the 45 day limit for PayPal policies, but because of the circumstances being an animal and payment plan, they said they could not do anything. This is what I was told by a female representative from PayPal.

I suspect that you aren't getting anywhere because you are well outside that window; but I don't understand why they didn't just say that, if that is the case.
btw - not EVERYBODY in this business takes payment plans, especially for relatively small purchase amounts

I actually see it as a sub conscious way of proving she actually spoke to someone on the phone
by indicating the gender of the person she spoke to, Coral has given out probably the only main identifying thing about this person. Strengthening the memory in her own mind of speaking to said person.
as I doubt Coral stating the paypal person being female had anything negative to do with anything lol
this situation sucks....but unless you sent the payments as a gift, I wouldn't know why paypal couldn't just let you dispute them each separately for "goods not received"

I couldnt agree more, that was an irrelevant post. Calm down people.
On the subject it seems like you might of ran out of options other then a legal matter. If you made the trip im sure you could sue for traveling fees, money already spent, maybe a few other things to make it worth your while but not always garunteed in small claims
