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.

How long is too long to wait for payment?
Hi, sorry this is kind of long but I need some help from those of you that sell animals all the time.
I sold my boa on an auction site to raise some extra money for bills. The auction ended on Oct 18 and we exchanged emails about address, ship date, ect. He said on Oct 19 to ship it next Monday the 25th because he was going to get a payment out right away. I told him I was going to wait until payment arrived. The buyer emailed me on Oct 23 me saying he sent out a money order that morning. It hasn't shown up yet as of Nov 1. I am thinking it shouldn't take that long to go from TN to PA. He hasn't email me back yet either since Oct 23rd.
I am thinking one of two things, it is either lost in mail, or he tried to get me to ship it and he wasn't ever going to pay for it.
I didn't put anything in the ad like "Payment due within a week". and the site has nothing to do with the transaction betwen buyer and seller, so I have nothing to go off of there. So how long should I wait for the money order?
I saved all the emails between us and a copy of the ad off the site as well.
Any help is appreciated.

Tim,
If it was Reptibid, they do have a specific policy on how long to wait for payment before being able to repost the item.
Regards.

couldnt find
I looked for it but didnt see anything about reposting if not paid. I saw something for bidders that said most people like paid within 5 days. If you could put a link to the page or just tell me what its under I'd appreciate it.

Tim,
I tried to find that information in Reptibid but couldn't. I'm pretty sure it was in a thread in this very forum.
Sorry.

What I decided
I sent him an email this morning. I asked him to please respond. If he doesn't by tommorrow, I am going to put it back up for sale. It might get me a bad name on the BOI, but like I said I have copies of everything and I haven't heard from him in 10 days. If I sent over $130 to someone and they told me three times it didn't arrive, I would at least email them back to let them know I did send it. All I can think is he was trying to get me to send it to him with no payment.
