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.

Just got this update to PayPal TOS yesterday. Starting next month, one of the changes is that they will no longer require an item to be purchased with one payment in order to qualify for their buyer protection.
Enough people probably complained about getting shafted after making multiple payments for an item, only to be told they're SOL when they filed a dispute. A step in the right direction.

For a lot of people the bottom line is is the item worth what they are paying? If so then it really doesn't matter if the price is 600 with free shipping or 550 dollars with 50 shipping or 540 with 50 shipping and 10 in PP fees. If the animal is worth the 600 then that is what it will cost.
Normally if an ad states I must pay the PP fees I will simple hit the back button but if it is an item I am really interested in and the price is still acceptable I may proceed. It does have to be stated up front though. I won't agree to a fair price only to have the fees added even if it is still a fair price. I won't under any circumstances do the friends and family for purchased goods.

I also have the same issue with paying fees or sending as friends and family. If I have done business with you a number of times, I'll sometimes send the payment as friends and family so you don't get hit with fees. But otherwise I will not do that. I also ONLY use credit cards with regular purchases through paypal which you cannot use as a friends and family purchase. I too have walked away from deals because sellers wanted fees or a friends and family payment. I always make sure to tell them that this is why I am not purchasing the animal. If enough do that, people will realize it is costing them sales.
The only time I can see a seller requesting a friends and family payment is for non-refundable deposits. Even then though the remainder of the balance should be paid via a regular payment.
