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.

Being that Thomas spoke with Mr. Goergen and figured things out:

I did try and contact him before posting this, but did not have his info anymore, and could not go back on my phone that far. I did post in several forums on Facebook, requesting if anyone has done business with Mr Goergen, and had contact info. I had no success with that. I feel I did what I had to do to protect myself and others. I do not believe Mr Goergen is a scammer, or meant ill will. This was just a mistake.

I will retract my thinking:

Especially since he has waited 70+ days to claim it wasn't him that purchased the animals... That makes me think he planned the whole thing.

Mistakes do happen and being that Thomas actually spoke with Mr. Goergen (even though it was afterwards) I will eat my words, I was wrong.
Glad things got straightened out and that Mr. Goergen's wife was just looking out for things in their household. This could have been a different situation all together. Glad it turned out for the best though.

Nice it got sorted but....
I feel that Mr Goergen and his wife could have checked a little deeper into the charge before just hitting the chargeback scene!
For some people having a hold on your Paypal fund of this amount could have caused some serious issues, lack of funds to pay other items in the works, excessive bank charges etc.
This probably could all have been avoided with just a little more diligence on both parties side maybe
