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.

So understandably don't want to ship before the case is resolved,, Sadly I too have concerns that if I now close the dispute, I do not have any other options to retrieve my money if indeed they don't..
We have a breakdown in communication, breakdown in trust and even expectations really only offers a stalemate..
The only solution that does not involve risk or a leap of faith is a refund. as such I have asked for at this time.. and I will update as things change..

FWIW - Once a dispute has been closed it can not be reopened. This is a possible tactic used by sellers to get you to close the dispute, and then, when they do not send shipment, you lose buyer protection and its no longer something they will have to worry about. Breakdown of trust or not. I would highly suggest you do not close a dispute. Follow it through, and if he ships, as has been suggested, pay the money back.

Agreed. It is the other party's turn to act on faith since the buyer's well should have run dry by now.

Actually the seller is still protected regardless of the buyer opening a dispute. If the seller ships and the buyer tries to escalate it to a claim the seller can fight it simply by providing the tracking number. Opening a dispute doesn't mean the buyer can do whatever they want. When a dispute is open both sides are able to state their cases and if either one seller or buyer feels the need to escalate it to a claim they can regardless of who opened up the dispute. So the excuse Eric gave is BS, he still has as much protection as he did before he went off the radar neglecting his obligations, open dispute or closed. You never close a dispute until you're satisfied and have received what you paid for. If he waits long enough Paypal will escalate it to a claim and then favor with the buyer if he still refuses to ship. But DO NOT close the dispute until you have your animals or refund!!!

I wholeheartedly agree.
I would demand they either ship the animals or refund my money immediately, inform them that is the only way the dispute will be closed.
The more buyers that come out, the more familiar this becomes.

I would NOT refuse the animals, I really was serious when I purchased them..
I don't plan to close it, don't plan to screw SCH either.. But it IS a legitimate concern.. on both sides.. If the issue is resolved I will post all info.. why I did post the update.. Not to imply that they where pulling a tactic but to accept their concerns.. only fair..
I just they did not have them..

back on topic however as much as I am kind of at a loss.. I posted my current dilemma only to point out no may not be a scam, but also a personal experience to animals ordered not shipped.. and want to be honest about some concerns and experiences, and a update as I had said they had not contacted me.. now have.. we have had some others chime in.. but....
Has the OP who started this thread gotten any reposes as of yet to the delays? the insufficient funds?? only fair.. right?
My intention was never to take over the OP thread.. just say hey.. I also have some issues, don't discount and give the vendor a chance to reply...
sadly not sure why nothing yet....
