I was unaware of the BOI. That’s what I meant by “this topic”, and I can tell you that this surgery wasn’t “sudden” by any means. It was mentioned that the buyer that I would be having said surgery- and was in prep when she purchased the snake. Regardless, buyer has her refund, ad is going to be deleted, what more is there to say here? It was an honest mistake and total lack of communication on my part.

How about a screenshot of you telling her of your upcoming surgery and explanation for delay?

I will gladly post the exchanges here. These begin after I sent payment.

One more...

Fees are seller's responsibility. Kind of an added insult.

Not the buyer's problem. Offering animals for sale with shipping, means having supplies on hand ahead of time.

Spends the buyers money, will pay it back whenever. Application for disability can take months.

Buyer had to ask PayPal to intervene on her behalf, as it seemd that a voluntary refund from the seller wasn't going to happen. I can certainly see why she wasn't happy with the way this transaction went downhill quickly.

And I get the surgery thing too; I just had a second spinal fusion last week. Many procedures are brutal, and require a lot of healing time. I can't lift anything heavier than a toothbrush for the next six weeks.

Point is, elective procedures are planned weeks, or months in advance, and making sure the customer got her critter in a timely manner should have been a priority, and part of the planning process for convalescence.

Just my two cents, of course.

Not to nitpick, but she had to file a PP dispute to get her money back. You didn't refund it, paypal did.

People tend to be skeptical of surgery and illness claims, since scammers often use this tactic. Not saying that you are doing that, just that it's been done before. I do hope that your health improves.
