Kati Ge North sea dragons

I paid for two imports from Kati Ge she was not good with sending pictures the last pictures she sent I could not tell if the female was in shed or not so I asked if the female was in shed she said it seems so. I get the female she looks nothing like she looked when I paid for her she is super washed out....Not in shed I message the breeders after I have soaked the female given her time to warm up etc... she says to wait she is stressed no this isn't stress this dragon is completely different from what I paid for. I paid her 405 euros for this female including shipping cost and she is nothing like her original photos last photo she sent she deceived me into thinking the female is in shed when she is not.... I later that day speak to another breeder in the states that also purchased from her and he has the same exact issue he dragon looks nothing like the photos. I request a refund of 100 euros (not even half of my loss) Kati is refusing to send anything more than 50 euros of which I have placed a claim on the purchase via paypal. She also originally tried to get me to send her the money via friends and family thank god I refused and just covered the paypal fees or I would be totally out of everything... I am still waiting for a paypal decision but wanted others to know not to waist your time or money with Kati... first three photos are the pics I was sent of the female last photo is her now....

The dragon looks a lot younger in the first three photos than in the last one. It seems possible that you received the same dragon that is in the first three pictures, but that it had faded out with age.

Ask the seller how old it was in those first photos and how old it is today. Honest answers to that question might explain the problem you are having accepting the animal that she claims to be the same one that is in the pictures she sent you. IE, the pix were not current.

The issue here is she never informed me of these changes and when I asked about the female from the photo sent dec 5th (one photo by the way) she played it as though the female was in shed when she was and is not... If that female washed out that bad she needed to make it clear that she did even now she is refusing to acknowledge the wrong in what she did...

Christie I believe her name is Katie Gee? Have you notified her of this thread so she can present her point of view?

Agreed, dragons can change drastically as they age and most lose some of their brightness as they get older but will also say it does appear, from your picture, that the dragon is in fact getting ready to shed so she may display more vivid colors once the process is completed.

One thing I would suggest when deciding to purchase a bearded, or any other animal. Have them send a video. Pictures are so easy to manipulate in favor of the animal's looks.

Kati, the seller, has lost some credibility as far as I am concerned. She said she would register and respond yesterday and has not done so. (I actually went and checked to make sure that it is not still Sunday in Germany because of time differences and all that, and it is not).
I know, it is a small thing, maybe she had something to do. But if someone tells me they are going to do something, and they don't do it, it makes it more likely (to me) that they might do the same to a buyer.

Christie, when is the decision due from PayPal?

paypal has to Jan 18th to make a decision but hopefully it won't take that long generally it's about 10 business days hoping to hear something back from paypal end of this week early next week.

I have asked one of her friends to give her the link
