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.

Terry, this thread is not about you. Knock off the look-at-me show-and-tell. Ample examples have been provided. And stop breaking the attachment rule for images to boot.

First of all, that is one of the best lines I've ever read here.
It's really too bad that this doesn't seem like it's going to work out in the OP's favor. Fortunately the animals appear to be healthy enough to resell, so there is some saving grace in this.
Trying to stand behind "all sales are final" is a joke. This is as bad as sending someone a female when they expected a male, maybe even more so.
At this point, it doesn't matter if the mislabel was intentional or ignorant. The way he conducts business is at the forefront, and so far he's incompetent at identifying what he sells, and unwilling to make things right after he's made a clear mistake. A one way ticket to a "bad guy" thread.

It's very unfortunate that the seller was willing to quickly try to shoot down the claims that these were not Brazilians in the for sale thread even from someone as knowledgeable and experienced as Carl May, yet he is now nowhere to be found in this thread. Is it at all possible to carry over those conversations to this thread since that thread is no longer around? At least that will allow some insight into the seller's position and claims since he seems content not to say anything himself.

I would strongly advise EVERYONE to stay clear of this seller.
I opened a claim in paypal and he is still claiming it's a cherry head even though it has been proven and over in this thread (and one of the original ads) that it is not.
I really hope people see this and stop buying from him.
Here are the comments on the case so far (newest at the top)
9/8/2017 14:26 EDT - Buyer: The animal I purchased is not as described, it was labeled as a cherry head which it is NOT. I have provided ample proof of claim to seller, but seller not willing to exchange or refund.
9/8/2017 14:24 EDT - Buyer: Except it is not a cherry head. Misidentified/ not as described.
9/8/2017 14:21 EDT - Seller: Item(Unique Colored Cherry Head Red Foot Tortoise) was exactly as pictured and described. I have already responded stating our policy on returns and refunds.
9/8/2017 12:36 EDT - Buyer: Seller sent the wrong item, I have requested a refund from seller who is not responding.

I doubt PayPal will honor your claim for the following reasons. First of all, you still have the tortoise. Secondly, PayPal is not a favorable recipient of animal claims .
Apparently the seller does not care. Your only recourse is to try and resell the tortoise if you can or keep it. This louse still continues to advertise here as well as Kingsnake. Thats the sad thing about it. Their avenues should be cut off. Then you would get a response.

PP may also decide for the seller since he did send the animal pictured in the ad.
How did you back up your PayPal payment? If you used a credit card then you have recourse through them as well. If you used your checking account or PayPal balance then you're stuck with PayPal's decision.

Not sure if it would be worth your time to point PayPal to this thread because anyone that claims that those animals are Brazilian is either ignorant to Redfoot locales or full of it and trying to sell another cheaper locale for Brazilian Cherryhead money. Maybe he could have the people that he bought the animals from speak up for him and try to convince us that they are Brazilian Cherryheads so that we can shoot their opinion full of holes and so that they can also be lumped in with this seller. Regardless of the outcome from PayPal, anyone that reads this thread will know exactly what this seller is all about so it will cost him a lot more in sales than it would've cost him if he did the right thing and took the animals back and refunded you.

You loose ! it makes no difference while you are holding the tortoise and expect PayPal or the credit card company to accept the chargeback .
Thats why these businesses set up there TOS with making sure you pay for the shipping back. A perfect example is Big Apple Herps. same MO. You certainly can file a claim, but the question will come as to where is the merchandise. While in your possession, its yours. This would even hold true if the items in question came DOA. Claim or no claim.
