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.

Tony121204/Anthony Pappas is a scammer
On 09/08/14 I sent $1200.00 to k.e.ellis2121@gmail.com which is the Paypal address he gave me, for a pair of adult sulcata. He said he would ship them the next day, I never heard from him the next day, when I contacted him he gave me a story about not havering the right kind of shipping container and after a couple of days he was going to ship them next Monday, this went on for about three weeks, now he won't answer my text or phone calls. I believe these are all just stalling tactics.

Disgusting!
Do you have pictures or screenshots of your payment and correspondence?
Thank you for the warning and I'm sorry this happened!
Is your paypal hooked to your cc or bank? They may very well help you, especially if it was a cc.
Good luck!

I believe if you paid with PayPal and you file a claim you will win. Seller failed to even ship you anything.

You only have about 12 days to file. Soon would be good.

I filed with Paypal but they want do anything because it is live animals no matter what.My pp is backed up with my checking /debit card and they are probably going to make it good. If you ever say live animal you can forget Paypal. And if I had had the money in my pp acct to have paid for it I would have lost my money.

Im not sure that's correct. I have won a "dispute" involving a live animal with pay pal. Did you send the money as a "gift"?

I have won 2disputes with Paypal involveing live animals but that is what they are telling me this time. I did not send it as a gift but one of the other cases was accidentally sent as a gift and I still got it back. I'm not sure if things have changed or if their just cracking down but be aware!

I had a similar situation not too long ago. Paypal doesn't cover live animals, but just like in your case, the animal was never shipped. I appealed their decision and ended up getting reimbursed, as no shipping had occurred.
