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.

I don't have a business phone, just a home phone that I share with my house mates. As a result, I don't give that number out as a business contact number. I do, however, give it out if someone insists, and when they are actually buying from me, or I from them (for shipping emergencies).
However, everyone once in a while, some buyer or prospective buyer gets ahold of it, and they do not respect it when you tell them that it's not a business phone. They call repeatedly. That has to go on the rude buyers list.

I have a new one!!
Beware if they ask if you can pay for the shipping of your own animal and they pay for the shipping of theirs..there are instances where this CAN be a good thing..but...if they have no intention of shipping out their animal..you are screwed and helped screw yourself and they have given you absolutely NOTHING for the animal.

If you approach me for a trade deal... be prepaired to ship out first and once the animal arrives as described then and only then will I ship out to complete the trade. Dont approach me to trade then expect me to ship first or at the same time... wont happen.

Have to Agree with you there Southern Wolf... When you approach someone with a trade expect to ship out first... I think it's only fair! If I approach someone with a trade and they have a good reputation and references then and only then would I ship first!

Agreed. I had an adult female mojave for sale last year, and rather than contacting me through email as I had asked, one of the large breeders out there decided to grab my number off my site and call me at strange hours repeatedly. I've since taken the number down, and he's on my don't do business with list.
If you have that number for your seller, please be respectful with it!

Recently,
Sill in the process actually, a customer asked me to go take photos of my house as well. Even described exactly what he wanted a photo of.
In this day and age, and all of the technology at our fingertips, I thought this was a pretty good idea. He said he wanted to know what the house looked like to where he was shipping. All the while, he was on the internet looking it up through Google earth or another engine. I rushed outside and was able to get that completed for him within 5-10 minutes.
This too, could also be used in sales as well. Want to know where your product is coming from? Ask to take a pic of their residence or place of business.

Okay, photos of where I live is a dealbreaker. I'm not even totally comfortable giving up the city I live in for my profile here. It'd be so easy for someone to use name, location, and house photos to find you and steal everything you own.
I hope you were being sarcastic.

Won't/Can't they find out that information any way (address) when you do that ship? It would be easy then for them to do the Google themselves.

Shadera, I understand what you are saying however, they get that info from you when they have to remit payment anyhow. There are programs out there, like Google Earth and some better ones, that once they have your address will show your home. Big brother is watching us
