    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.....

    =====================


    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....

Bad Guy hboyles66(Hank Boyles & Melissa Bayles) Ripoff

Apparently, Elron's access has been removed temporarily....too bad he felt that my admonition about posting uncensored profanity didn't apply to him. On top of that, it was a bunch of anonymous crap (even though I can see where it would still be upsetting, it has no place on this forum).
Be advised, Elron, that using your wife's (or any other account) to bypass your ban will not be tolerated.....let the time go by, and you'll be free to return.

This isn't Elronza, this his girl. He is done with this site and will not return even after the ban is lifted. I will keep this thread updated until this matter is resolved. I have an ID if needed.
 
The seller posted proof that the full amount sent by the buyer had not cleared due to insufficent funds. I have not seen proof that the entire amount did clear, nor proof of communication confirming shipment AFTER the entire amount cleared. You cannot claim to have "finalized" shipping arrangements if the payment you sent did not clear in full.

The buyer keeps claiming that shipping arrangements WERE finalized, but the emails submitted back the story of the seller, not the buyer.

When I'm arranging shipments of live animals, I'm as specific as possible in communicating with seller/buyer to confirm that the recipient will in fact be there to receive the animals. The buyer hasn't posted any communication at all to this effect.

IMO a seller acts responsibly to prioritize the welfare of their animals when they wait to ship if they can't get that confirmation. I certainly would do the same- they're MY animals still at that point, DEPENDENT on me.

The seller has been up front all along with a possible shipping delay due to work schedule- that was in the original ad or one of the very first emails, even. If the buyers chose to ignore that and go ahead with the deal, that's their own fault.

Based on the info presented so far, IMO the seller has acted responsibly, the buyer has not.
 
Sorry for the jumbled words in my last post as it has been a long day and I am very tired but I figured I needed to adress this issue and make sure that the whole story is out there.

Make sure the Whole story is straight??? Dude you still haven't sent a snake to Elrone and you have had plenty of time!!! Your just sitting there making excuses why YOU didn't live up to your part of the deal... Fact is you have his MONEY and I'm sure you already have spent it ect... You caused this SO CALLED ISSUE... Would have been a problem if you didn't run off with Elrone money... He has a right to put you on front street and he did so in order to protect others from your dirty dealings...
 
If all what you say is true, then refund his money and relist the snake for someone else and be done with the OP. Many ppl getting into hobby have buyers remorse once money is spent, thinking should i of bought this or that.

Buyers REMORSE??? Don't throw everyone into on bucket... You don't have a clue what Elrone is thinking...
 
NEWBEE. I am not being rude but you have been a member of this site for a short amount of time and this is only the 3rd post you have made. Please reread everything. I see you are from FL so it does seem suspiciuos that you are on here defending Elron as your first use of this site. I am not saying anything bad towards you just stating the obvious.

Bro I don't give a Flying Fu*k what you think. I don't wanna read and reread all this Bull Sh*t again. It's simple MONEY or SNAKE, MONEY or SNAKE. If you can't produce either then your nothing more than a con man AKA Common
Thief.
 
Sounds Like NewBee is friends with the OP in some fashion to be that defensive for no reason over something that could be answered if you READ the posts.

Jumping to the defensive like that i woudlnt doubt it be someone he knows very well.
 
I have to agree. He already has a negative rating and has only 5 post. Looks like Elron found a friend to help defend him since the ban. I hate to assume things but it does look that way. I will not run. I clearly stated my intentions and anyone who reads this thread will fully understand.
 
"IAMGOD" has stated in post #61 - This isn't Elronza, this his girl.

Newbee (Eric) and what is your part in the deal?
You stated in post#63 - Sorry for the jumbled words in my last post
what last post? that was your first post in this thread.

*******
I tried to summarize here for you:

Hank has made the following statements in this thread:

post#4 - his lack of response is why shipment was not done
Hank mentioned he sent emails to confirm shipping but did not get a repsonse, hense, no shipping was done:
this was in post# 55 - On Sunday I recieved no conformation if someone will be home because I noticed the paypal account was unverified and that put ahold on my shipment.

post # 23 - They also paid from a non verified paypal account and that is why verification of address and someone homes was so important to me. I will be fixing this issue and not dealing with these people again

so this to me says that he will refund the money.

original buyer seems hung up on the 'shipped' part that was showing in paypal. Anyone that does ebay/paypal knows it will show status 'shipped' as soon as you select it will be shipped; doesn't mean it has actually shipped yet. Hank addresses this:
post# 55 - marked as shipped because I had planned on shipping but I didn't hear back from them until I got a message from paypal and then the BOI.

So I don't understand why this is still a problem? Hank has agreed to refund the money through paypal... doesn't sound like a theif to me.
 
Oh wow so that mean's everyone here that agreed with hank must be his friend's and the one's in Florida that disagree with Elronza and me must be from the racist group( the good ole boys)?????By the way Mr.Boyles it's highly weird that someone on a business trip can post on Fauna all day but not contact PayPal!! Oh yeah one more thing your not verified on PayPal at all!! And unfortunately for you I have undeniable proof!!"Enjoy Mr. Boyles Your Cold Busted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He never sent a email to confirm that one of us would be home,and didn't need to Hank and Elronza agreed that the snake would be sent out Monday or Tuesday at the latest.One more thing special here is proof that Mr.Boyles still hasn't replied to PayPal even now as he is to busy tiring to save face on Fauna!!!!

What does him being verified or not have anything to do with this?

Only reason Elron's verification came into question was because it had to do with the shipping address.
 
I will agree with you that he needed to refund your money as soon as he decided that the deal was off. Everyday that goes by that he doesn't makes him look worse.

If he would have refunded your money in a timely matter I would have considered still buying from him, but as it stands I am starting to rethink that. I'm not sure if he's drawing it out to be a pain in your side, or if he spent the money and cant refund it. Either way it's very unprofessional.

Verification has nothing to do with it, as Hank is using it as an excuse . The shipping address is verified by PayPal!

Sorry for the jumbled words in my last post
what last post? that was your first post in this thread.

That was a quote from this dude. HBOYLES66

I don't have a dog in this fight. I just hate a lieing no good thief. Tell your buddy to stop back peddling and do the right thing. Once Again MONEY or SNAKE, MONEY or SNAKE! It's just that simple.
 
I am being somewhat of a pain because I feel this thread was started without good reason considering he started the claim 2 days after payment. I am not reptile buisness nor do I claim to be but I do expect to be treated with respect. This will end when it ends. Call me what you want but I stated everything correctly. It is not hard to get away for a minute and hop on the internet is is all over the world ya know. I agree I should have contacted paypal sooner and 2 wrongs don't make a right but I am waiting to see what paypal descision is and then I will agree with their decision. Either way it should end in Elron favor but on my terms now. Sorry if this makes people made but I a little ticked at the way this situation turned out. I have every right to be.

Probably the worst course of action you could take at the moment Hank. A prompt refund would have left the OP as the impatient 5 year old in this transaction and you as the bigger man. This new petty attitude will hurt you in the eyes of everyone who defended your side of this.


By the way...you have stated several times that you contacted the buyer requesting confirmation of the Monday shipping date. I ran through everything posted and have not seen that message. If you could post it...that particular point could be put to rest
 
Newbie I am sorry but the fact is your comment was irrelevant.

The reason he didnt ship was because your FRIEND never did confirm shipment.

No responsible seller will go by the paypal address alone.They always check before they ship.

I personally never ship a snake until they email it to me then I call to repeat the shipping address just to verify.The morning I ship the snake out I call to make sure plans havent been changed before the snake is even packaged.

YOu attacking April was way off base.She was making a logical statement that you and your FRIENDS can seem to comprehend.

The statement that she needs to tell her friend to stop back peddling is once again irrelevant. April has no connections with April.She was just stating common sense.

I think you should take your own advice and read it very slowly.

Thank you, you just proved us right. That was your plan all along. Wait until PayPal solves this. Without the the sellers response to PayPal's claim;in 10 days PayPal will have to refund our money at their insurances expense Which =fraud on your part.Which means you are a crook!! :iagree:
