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.

Shannon Brooks of Scotsburg NY
I purchased a Vision cage through ebay from a seller with the ebay ID 'Crestiesmb' and paid instantly through paypal. I Have had large items sent parcel post take up to a month so i was very patient before i started to inquire about my item. after 30 days i emailed the seller who responded with an apology. He claimed there was an issue on his end and that the item WAS already shipped and in good faith he would refund my shipping ($30). Since the item was already shipped i agreed. i waited another 30 days but due to my own ignorance of ebay and paypal i didnt realize after 60 days they will not investigate. After another month the seller broke all contact and i was out $60. While i understand my ignorance of ebay/paypal policy is responsible for me being out the money, what he did was plain wrong and criminal. I am not concerned about getting my $60 back. Everything in life is an education and education is rarely free. What bothers me is that i filed a police report and nothing came of it. They dont really care. People have went to jail for less money. I hate thiefs and liars so i did my own investigating as this person still posts freely on his ebay account. I discovered his name is Shannon brooks he is from Scottsburg NY his girlfriend whom he lives with is named Rose bourgoine. Shannons cell phone # is 585-236-3294 and their home phone # is 585-335-6683. Their address is 5644 scottsburg rd 14545. Ebay name 'crestiesmb' I know they are into geckos. I know its immature but so is stealing and lying so feel free to give the guy a call and tell him we dont like thieves in our hobby.

Yeah, it is - immature, that is - to suggest everyone "feel free" to call the guy.
Stealing is criminal, so the dude is a common thief.
Lying is unethical, so the dude obviously can't be trusted & has no character.
Sorry you're out $60.00. Thanks for the warning and the guy's info.

Yes i know paypal has buyer protection. It is 60 days. I obviously contacted them and they would not do anything. Just because it has never taken more than two weeks for you to receive something does not change the fact that i have seen USPS parcel post take upwards of a month. I posted that i did indeed make a mistake. Does that make it right for someone to steal from me? Im not sure what you mean about it being 'personal' but if your implying that no crime was committed and i am just smearing someones name you need to take the time to read my post again.

I find it odd that 'John Smith" from the same area of the thief who stole from me felt the need to join fauna just to post that i am wrong here.

Amazingly, ltdtokay ("John Smith") registered using the email rbourgoine@stny.rr.com. For some reason that just has a funny ring to it...give me a minute, I'll figure it out.
