• 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....

It is not our job to play judge, jury, and executioner in these matters. We only provide the medium for you to use in this manner. Seriously, you have provided no proof, and yet believe everyone needs to take YOU at your word alone? Sorry, but no, we are not even going to pretend to attempt to determine who may be lying in issues of this nature. It is completely up to you to try to make yourself believable here.
 
It helps to post emails or screenshots of stuff, in chronological order. I know its s daunting task sometimes, but helps to make others aware of your situation. It works both ways.

Mike paid me 3090.00, changed his mind about wanting tortoise because he said he needed the money... oh well... I sent him back 2500.00, said he would take 5 baby leopards for balance, I thought we squared the deal off. with all my divorce mess going on maybe not.
My attorney asked me to have him email me a Paypal money request stating what the 590.00 was for but he hasn't done it...
PS: left my wife for my kids sake, I gave her everything!!
anything else is just BS...
I have over 90 Aldabra tortoises in stock as of today. come buy one so I can give Mike his money if he ever sends me a paypal money request ( stating what its for only )
signed scumbag....lol... lowlife... Chris Estep

Yes this was discussed, just never happened.
This whole mess is now cleared up!
Chris has returned the money with a heart felt apology.
I have no ill feelings and wish him the best of luck.
I truly feel he is under a lot of stress, glad to have my money back, sad it ended this way. Like I said, no ill feelings and he did return the money so I ask nobody here have any either. He manned up,did what he had to and I thank him.

I'm confused, Chris just said he will pay me the money if I send the pay-pal request, which I did. I'm not making this up.

No I know, but just in how the BOI works, it helps to post the info so that if others come across the thread, they can form their own opinion/make a decision on whether or not to deal with that seller in the future. Email exchanges generally bring to light important details of the transaction for people to base a choise on. Its not required, and he did acknowledge this is happening, so I believe you are owed due to that response. Its not an attack on you, just how this board tends to work for others. Know what I mean?
