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.

You guys are ridiculous, this is why I don't get into it on the internet. Read the ad, individual pics BY ID available at the link. You can only post like 4 or 5 pics here so there's no way to post all 70 or so I have for sale at the moment. I have offered to pay the guy back, i don't know what else you could want from me. Good bye!

Supporting Details:
We agreed on the details (ID and genetics) in Facebook messenger, then he blocks me on Facebook in the middle of trying to resolve the situation, he then texts me and says we never agreed on an ID, only genetics. Not sure if he thought blocking me would hide the messenger messages, but it didn't. The pix I attached show the evidence of Joe's Bait and Switch deception. I have several other pix but can't load everything. There is also a thread started in FaceBook on 'Boa Constrictor Keepers' discussing this situation with additional snake pix showing the differences, but the deception is clear with just the few I attached.
I hate being the one that has to post this drama, but no one should have to deal with this and everyone needs to be careful with Joe.
Joe, if you would have just apologized for the misunderstanding, maybe because you were under the weather or something, we could have handled this. There was no reason for you to attempt to lie your way out of it.
Respectfully,
Chas

You could have apologized and not tried to lie your way out of the issue, like your buyer requested.

I am sure once the dispute is final, that would be the logical thing to do.
But u keep going back to “I didn’t know what I want.” I got THE snake that I paid for. The snake in the pic doesn’t match what u sent me. U are still blaming me. That doesn’t make sense. I wanted the snake in the pic we agreed on. U keep deflecting from that part of the topic. Everyone agrees they don’t match.

And your buyer looks like he will take you up on that offer once PayPal is finished. Cancelling a PayPal claim is a bad idea for a buyer unless they actually have a cash refund in hand. But part of what the buyer wants is the truth, not for you do verbally dance around and claim that the buyer didn't know what he wanted. The agreement was clear, and you violated it, but you persist in trying to escape culpability.

Come up? Joe, I wanted to send the snake back but your statements continue to contradict themself and deflecting the facts. I wasn’t comfortable sending the snake prior to a refund because you lied to me while we were discussing it. I don’t plan on getting a come-up, I just want a refund.

From the original post showing the conversation, notice how "he" and "his" is being used in reference to the animal being discussed for purchase? That indicates to me an individual unique reference, and not a group reference. In my opinion, it is pretty clear that the buyer was engaging in a purchase of the individual unique animal shown in the photo, and nothing else. There is nothing provided in the discussion that would lead a reasonable person to assume that the photo was of a generic sample and not of an individual unique animal being offered for sale.
If a mistake was made, it is pretty clear to me that the mistake was on the part of the seller, not the buyer.
IMHO, of course.

I believe this is what any buyer who has issues with a sale can expect from this seller. I asked a simple question that could have been answered here with a yes or no, and I asked several times: Does this seller still have the snake that was originally agreed upon.
The seller has continued to avoid a definitive answer, relying on redirection and snark.

For what? I already said I would pay you back. I realize what happened now and it was my mistake. A MISTAKE, not a bait and switch or any other kind of SCAM! I have never scammed anyone and up until now I have had no issues with anyone who has purchased from me being unhappy. When you sent the picture and we were talking about it I didn't realize you had grabbed the one off the main part of the ad. I didn't go into my available album to make sure which one was left. That's why we were talking about a "him" because I only had one male left from the litter. It was my mistake and I apologize. I was in the hospital high on dilaudid about to have surgery. I argued about it being the same one you received because I knew I only had one left but when I post the ad on this site I have the 4 pics I would normally use set aside in a folder. Again, I apologize and will give you a full refund.
