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.

Tom I hate that this is happening to you. Did you pay by credit card, or any other way that you can start non-received proceedings against him?

Thanks, I really appreciate it. Sometimes things happen that can be resolved with communication from someone that knows the person involved.

Unfortunately I was really stupid and trusted him. He said that he had a lot of references. I sent him the full amount and I do not have any way to retrieve the $.

That John is so true, even us older duffers have caught up with tech and get alerts that there is an email here, a message on fb etc etc.
I guess there are still some flat earthers out there but it is VERY far and few between and anybody who is doing serious business is not going to be one of them!
In todays interconnected world there is very little in the way of excuses for not being aware of problems.

I wouldn’t have seen this at all but a few reptile friends made me aware. Honestly, I’ve just been going through an overwhelming amount things for the past few months; single parenthood, filing for full custody, moving, a promotion, a 3 hour round trip work commute and more. I haven’t been on social media and don’t plan to be for a while.
In the past decade I’ve produced/sold thousands of snakes, literally spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in this hobby, and produced upwards of 20 world’s 1st. I’ve dedicated a third of my life to the hobby and am not one of these guys just in it for the money. I’ve made tons of friends and do have an outstanding amount of positive reference which I’m always willing to provide when someone purchases from me. I’m definitely not someone who would steal someone’s money or not attempt to fix any problem.
I didn’t plan on this payment plan taking 5 months to complete as the full balance still hadn’t been paid. I already refunded ALL of Tom’s money which included the 25% nonrefundable deposit which were all sent via Paypal friends and family. I don’t know how long the process takes with Paypal/the bank. I’m very sorry for any inconvenience, Tom.
I won’t be back on here continuing this convo.

Without any communication, your buyer didn't know what to think. Kudos to him for not making a Bad Guy post on you until the facts emerged. It sounds as if you have a lot on your plate. But if in the future you find that you are getting overwhelmed, step back and don't initiate transactions that you are unable to give your attention to. Here, it would have taken just a few minute to email your buyer but you did not do that.
Hopefully Tom will receive his refund soon. I think neither party should send/accept Friends/Family payments to PayPal unless they are friends or family.
