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 agree with the above posts. If a refund is going to be given it should be a full refund.
I get the whole "well I could have sold it to someone else" thing, but in this situation it isn't the buyer wanting to back out. He still wants the gecko. I do not think this ordeal has gone sour to the point that the gecko should not be shipped. I think this was a minor flaw and miscommunication, therefor I would AGREE on ONE day to have the gecko shipped.
Make sure it is packed correctly, shipped on the day agreed upon, and call it over. Both parties should end up happy this way and all this will be a hard lesson learned.
As far as the BOI goes though, this is minor! So take care of it ASAP and everyone leave untarnished.
Just my 0.02!
Good luck to you both!
--Amanda

This may seem irrelevant (it isn't), but how did this transaction begin? Was the gecko advertised, did it come up in conversation (ie chat), did you approach him asking if he had something?

Nevermind - breezed right past it.
One simple question to the seller....
Why advertise during periods when you are unwilling/unable to ship?

That's what I've been thinking. It seems like it could have been shipped at any time as long as it was overnighted in a styro with a cold pack. That would have cost more but after a while I would think one of them would have suggested it.

It is something I've never understood - if one is unwilling to ship in hot or cold weather, what is the point in advertising during those periods? Holding off because of a pending storm, or atypical situations, is one thing; but for normal summer (or winter) temperatures in your own area?? It just doesn't make sense to me

Christopher, the number you blocked was my phone number (978-***-****). Her phone number is the 617 area code. The reason why I asked her to call you was because my calls were not getting through to you, as you blocked my calls. In addition, if you'd like me to subpoena both cell phone records for her phone and my own, neither of us called you or texted after 12:47am, meaning 11:47pm for you. I realize that was late, and I apologize, but that was also when I hadn't heard from you although you had proposed shipping on Wednesday (that text is included in the first post).

Christopher Pratt just dropped all e-mail communication on October 4th according to the buyers first post and didn't ship the next week like he said he would.You were even offered a second shipping option at the buyers expense to ship the reptile out the next week....You couldn't even respond to that?

Regardless of what happened in the past, since we can't really come to terms, would you be able to get her out this week via FedEx if I were to send you the difference in shipping USPS vs. FedEx? 85 is shippable, and FedEx in my area is reliable.
Let me know.
|
I can't believe the buyer would even offer to send you more money for more excuses.
You need to refund him 100% of his money back and learn how to ship reptiles.

I assumed that that is how he, or anyone for that matter, would ship that time of year?

This. If you have no written deposit policy, you have no legal or moral grounds to keep any of the money.
