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 get why nobody wants to discuss.this. But what bothers me is that nobody is looking at this with common sense. I get that people think the OP is a nut job. But the BOI is not a popularity contest. Again, why wasn't a more sufficient date set up? Why the abrupt cancellation and refund?

And why has no one requested proof (texts, e-mails)? Sorry if I missed it, but I've seen no pressure to provide it.

You are totally right to request proof. You are as usual a refreshing breeze of common sense.
After all, not only were there low temps involved, but the seller may have been uneasy about the payment method used here.
From the screen shot Jo Nathan posted in #42, there is an implication that payment from someone else's PayPal account was used as payment for this transaction but this form of payment from another person did not seem to be discussed with the seller or receive the seller's permission prior. This can have adverse consequences for a seller. Further relevant information about exactly whose address the critter would be shipped to was not evident as it was obscured in the post.
If that payer later does a chargeback because the item was not received, the seller can lose both money and critter.
Jo Nathan is trying to make it all about the selling price, but both the low temps and the possible PayPal hanky hanky also provide good reason for the seller to cancel and refund.

I have cancelled plenty of orders due to "bad weather" or something else when I got a complete whackjob vibe from the customer. Perhaps the seller was merely trying to be tactful in his refusal of sale, to (hopefully) avoid an issue. Seeing how the buyer flipped out over a weather problem (SHIP IT ANYWAYS!) I cannot imagine what would have happened had the seller told the buyer to go and kick rocks because he simply did not want to do business with him. Anyways that's just my take!

I haven’t seen where anyone has denied that anything the other said happened, which would then require proof. This was a situation where the OP believes the intent of the seller in not wanting to ship was to reneg on the deal due to underpricing the animal, which probably wouldn’t show up on texts/emails so for me there wasn’t much point in asking for the exchange.

I advised Mr. Kingfisher that he is welcome to contact our customer service department if he would like to lodge a formal complaint. I am, of course, our customer service department, but I promise this complaint will be taken seriously and fire will rain down upon all those responsible.

It seems Jo Nathan feels like he can ask others not to be 'vicious' in his private messages but feels free to be quite vicious himself when the fancy strikes him.

What if the actual reason was not pricing but the possible PayPal issue. We are hearing pricing from Jo Nathan, but is that the reason? I think the seller is not going to argue, he courteously refunded and is staying out of it all.

It's a done deal. Seller didn't sell and has not returned (for obvious reasons). Buyer got his refund. Sheesh. Let it go. Ain't no big thang at this point.

Is it just me, or do the OP's posts seem like they are written like poems??
I think Mike is right, the seller realized the OP had unrealistic expectations and decided he didn't want to deal with the hassle of an unreasonable buyer.
This seems to me like a smart seller, and he has also been smart enough not to get drawn into debate with the OP. The OP meanwhile, is not helping himself out by switching to PMing people with equally weird comments.
