• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

This is now two times in a row I have not had good experiences with buying online.
The seller goes by Alex Harris on the emails and signs them James Harris. His email address is [email protected] for correspondence and [email protected] for paypal payments. His address is listed below in the emails.
I never got the animal or the refund and or response. I am not taking any chances and have filed the paypal complaint before the 30 days expires. It's not a lot of money but at this time of year I can't afford to lose it.

Here are the emails.

Hope you had a good holiday.
Tuesday for Wednesday delivery would be good.

Steve

Let me know if it went out. I need to know if I have to be here tomorrow or not.
Thanks.

No snake.
Issue a full refund thru paypal today.
I cannot lose another day of work waiting for a package that never arrives.

I haven't heard from him but I am not taking any chances. After the last deal and now this with 2 missed ship dates, I am not waiting around anymore.


Here is the paypal complaint.

Well, I guess yellow was not a good color to use. :rolleyes:

Here is the paypal complaint that is actually legible.

I know that I am going to get flack for this but......

.....always be extremely wary of anyone using a free Email account. Before every one jumps on me, I know that a lot of great folks have yahoo and hotmail accounts. However, if you scan through the past scams on this site, the majority of the serious scumbags operate from these throwaway accounts.
 
Just outta curiosity....what would be a good email name to have? I use yahoo extensivley. I am not throwing you flak I am seriously asking. What would be a good email to go through to have a non throw away email?
 
BTW that really sux. Glad it wasn't a large amount of money. I hope that you get your refund, but at least their paypal account will be jammed up until they resolve it. Curious if you checked the BOI first or anything?
 
Hopefully this is just a fluke but I have not had a response from him over the past 4 days.

Anything you have to pay for that can be traced back to you. Yahoo and Hotmail are virtually untraceable
 
What email does my ISP provide? I have Road Runner but for the life of me I can't remember what my name is LOL. I dunno I just figure as long as I build my rep I will be fine.
 
Well, here is his one and only feedback from ReptileAuction. Just left recently. Looks like he is not paying on items. Odd, since he has MY money.

Item: 1134340527
Comment: Another DEAD BEAT BIDDER. won 2 of my auctions and still no money. Only received 1 E-Mail from this moron in 10 days. Must make big bucks at candysreptiles not to be able to afford 2 little snakes.
 
That would be totally understandable but if you don't reply to emails and leave everyone in the dark, how is anyone to know?

I would have no problem waiting longer if I knew what was going on.

To not ship and not respond makes me think I got taken.

I know what it's like to fall on tough times and would be more than patient but I would need to know that's what happened. Money is tight around the holidays. I can totally understand that.

Like I said before, maybe this is a fluke but it sure would've been nice to know that or if I did get burned once again.

By virtue of paying for Roadrunner, you are entitled to up to 5 Email accounts through them. All you have to do is set them up.
 
Someone who easily use two names interchangeably would throw me off really quickly, I know people that do use a couple of names and it is really confusing. It makes a person wonder if the person is legit. Hopefully paypal will refund your money quickly. It is a good thing we have some protection over our money when we can have the CC company or even payal help us out in these situations. Again, this is another example of customer service gone awry.

Scammers Motto: Take the money and run.
 
Hey, I got a response today. We'll see how it goes.
