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.

Tracey Drum (Terrible customer)
Wanted to let everyone know of a con-artist located in North Carolina.
Her name is Tracey Drum of Dragonflys Things, she bought a few Leopard Geckos about three months back, then filed a suit with her credit card company and had the paypal charges reversed.. All this after I long story about her sick son and how the geckos would make him feel much better.. I gave into the sob story and sold her adult geckos at $10ea...and tossed in a few extras..
After receiving the geckos she could not believe they looked so good..sent an e-mail stating such, then reversed the charges.. I sent all the e-mails to paypal to arbitrate in addition to the tracking number..still lost.
Point being, there are just as many terrible customers out there as bad businesses.. Be careful and do your home work.

Somebody's gonna say it, might as well be me.
How about posting the emails. Preferably from the start of the sale to the end.

BOI works for sellers as much as it works for buyers.
On top of that, you might want to make a post into the PayPal sucks hind teat thread, too.

the only way to deal with people like that
and I know it sounds crazy , but I would be pissed off enough to file suit against this woman and not only attempt to recover the monies she received back, but the attorney fee's you would have to endure..
When I purchase or sell anything on PayPal, the monies come out of a special account that always maintain a zero balance.. Its something to consider for future sales.
