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.

Derrick Wilson ( Wilson Reptiles )
Anyone hear of Derrick Wilson of Wilson Reptiles in North Carolina? I bought some Vision Cages from him on EBay and he hasn't returned my calls nor have I received my cages. I thought I was fairly safe from scammers on EBay but I guess not. EBay has advised me to file a complaint with PayPal which I will do, but I just don't understand the mentality / audacity behind the thought processes of these scammers. I have his contact number as well as his email but that only works if people respond back to you. Any ideas?

How long has it been since you paid? What is his Ebay rating, what have others said about him? Did y'all discuss shipping at all during the auction?

When I made the purchase he said that he would ship out the next day and send me a tracking number. I called and emailed and he replied that he did ship but was at work and would get me the tracking number as soon as he got home. The tracking number never arrived. I assume EBay was monitoring our exchange because for whatever reason EBay discontinued his ad and advised me to post a complaint with Pay Pal. He was a new user without a rating. I guess that was my mistake. It's going on a couple of weeks since the transaction and he has stopped taking my calls or responding to my emails.

The good news is that Ebay and PayPal are the same company and PayPal is pretty good about covering this sort of thing when it hapens on their parent company Ebay.
