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.

typherp@aol.com...aka "Park"
I'm not sure what this person's real name is...I got the PayPal payment from Lasco, Inc. Does anyone know who this is...or have you done business with him? I sent him a wholesale group of dragons on August 8th. He sent the payment for the dragons, and asked me to ship under his FedEx number. First of all, I had problem finding a place around here (rural Arkansas) that I coul even take a FedEx package. So I emailed him and asked if UPS was okay. He said that was fine and to let him know how much shipping was and he would reimburse me. After more looking, I DID find a FedEx drop off place not to far from me. So I told him I would ship FedEx afterall. Then, stupid FedEx would not accept a live animal package from me. So I ended up shipping UPS afterall. Ugh, lol. I emailed "Park" and told him the situation, and how much he owed me. Did not hear back from him. Emailed him again a couple of days ago. He emailed back and asked how much he owes me. Still have not heard back. It's only $38...but it's the principle of it I guess. I don't like to be blown off by someone, and the dragons he got were quite a bargain to begin with. I guess I learned my lesson...everything needs to be done upfront because you just can't trust people. Anyway...I'm annoyed and wanted to caution anyone planning to do business with this person.

Ty Park is one of the largest buyers of reptiles for resale. I would be very surprised if this does not get worked out.

He never made it right. I guess since I'm a small-time breeder, I'm just not that important.

Well personally doesn't matter if your George Jones, you should have gotten your money back. And for him not to reimburse you is wrong. Plain and simple. If he is "well known" then he should be able to make this right.

Ty is a member of our local herp society, and was at our business meeting last night. I delivered some corns to him last night (from another friend) and he paid on the spot.
His business is very large volume, and it is possible that emails can get lost. Small amounts due can also sometimes get lost, especially if the deal is "already done". I am NOT saying that is the correct way to do things, but it happens sometimes. It sounds like there was a fair amount of confusion about shipping methods and prices on your part, so the issue was not as cut and dried as it is with most shipments - just leaves more room for error. When an email doesn't get answered, try calling. Maybe you can still get it resolved.
I believe he is running some ads for animals wanted on KS right now. Check to see if you have current contact info, and email and/or call again. If you are polite and remind him, hopefully you can work it out.

I saw his ad on KS and contacted him about a wholesale lot of cornsnakes I had, he sent payment within minutes after agreeing to purchase my corns. And also his fed ex number to ship them with. I would say it was one of the smoother transactions I have done.

I don't know Ty very well (had dinner with him and four mutual friends once), so I can't give you any character references...but I do know enough about him to guarantee you that he didn't stiff you intentionally...he doesn't need to.
Just send him another email or give him a call. You'll definitely get the $38.
