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.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!! About the Google Adsense ads being displayed

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....

Alright Lucille, well I'm not going to get into an argument with you. I don't like the disorganized fashion of the BOI, and I'm sure a lot of people would agree. It would be nice if you could listen to some input, but I know better than to fight with the admins. Here are the rest of the texts. Again, I apologize for my language. I don't make excuses, it's just that I'm a seller too, and I'd never treat my customers like this. I want people to see exactly what went down, and they can make up their own minds. Maybe they think I was at fault, and that's fine. This isn't a court of law, and I won't defend myself if people want to say that. They can just decide for themselves. I'm just stating my experience.
As you can see, he did write to me this morning. I will certainly let people know if I do end up getting the refund. It may very well be that Antoine just ran into some really bad luck, but even so, there's no way I'd buy from him again. I should have gotten that refund the first time he wasn't able to ship.

I'm not sure how it works but I'd check with PayPal before undoing the claim if he only sends half what guarantee do you have that he will send the other half? Make sure you'll still be able to file another claim if he doesn't pay the other half. If they don't allow you to file another claim after undoing the first I would refuse to undo it until I had all of the money in my hand.
Nathanael, if you close it after getting only half, you had better be prepared to only get half. That translates into you paying half price to receive zero product. I am not sure what your quota for red flags is, but it appears rather high.
Also, trashing the nature of the BOI while making use of the BOI might be a little ungrateful. If you feel you can do better, by all means please do. Until then, maybe you could find it in your heart to do a little better than bite the hand that feeds as it relates to a privileged resource provided to all members and which all members are free to engage in (within the rules). If you wish to discuss matters of criticism, the site assistance and feedback forum is the appropriate section to actually do so.

In my first post here I felt attacked and like people's questions were rude and unnecessary but looking back I realized that I wasent thinking rationally because of how angry I was over the situation. I also realized that in the heat of the moment I over reacted and did things that had I been thinking clearly I would have known weren't a good idea. After basically losing over $1000 it's not easy to step back and think rationally, I know how hard that is but it something I aim to be better at. Moral of my rant, I know your upset but the boi really does work and does help people and the people here really care. I know that's hard to see sometimes when you are angry and not thinking normally. Before you attack the boi and the people who take time(unpaid time, many of them barely have any free time between their real jobs and reptiles) to try to help others maybe wait till after the dust settles down and you aren't so angry.

Yeah, but at this point I just want to get some of my money back at least, and I don't like holding his friend hostage like this...it's not her fault.
He still hasn't sent it btw...as you can see, he promised to send it today.

And like I said, I will only talk about the transaction from here on out, and I would appreciate it if other people would too. I wasn't attacking the admins, and I'm sorry that's how it was interpreted. I guess I don't have any say in how other people use this thread, but I seriously am not talking about it anymore...
He told you (and other people) other stories that were not true.
This friend's-tale-of-woe story he told you might not be true, either.
I would recommend you keep the Paypal case in full effect until you are hopefully made whole. He put "his friend" in this situation and it is entirely on him to provide the remedy. Please do not take the lies he is feeding you. Protecting yourself is important.

When you sent that money, did the paypal say verified? Do NOT close that dispute. That is the only thing you have at this moment to get your money back. All of this is straight out of the scanner manual. Take the time and read the other threads, see how many people closed a dispute because they were promised a refund, that never came because they closed the dispute.

Alright, I just got the $65.
I thought he was supposed to send $125 this round. No?

Confused?
Thought he was sending half, now its near enough a quarter?
You would be foolish indeed if you cancelled the Paypal claim at this stage as I fear you would NEVER see any more of your outstanding monies.

So you took just $65 and closed the PayPal case?
None of my business ( before you say so yourself) but very foolish IMHO
But its your life and your loss
Good luck

Your dispute can't be reopened but if you paid with a credit card or your bank account you may be able to file a dispute through them when he doesn't send the rest of your money back. If you used your PayPal balance you'll have no recourse at all now. I wish you luck and hope you get your money back.

Threads like this one often call to mind a Harlan Ellison quote I'd come across, regarding the two most common elements in our universe - I don't think hydrogen is applicable to this particular situation.

I believe this case it closed. The Buyer is satisfied with the partial refund

If you, the OP and the seller are content with the idea that someone should lose any amount of money for the privilege of being jerked around and left with nothing to show for it, I think that's saying some unflattering things about the lot of you. Either way, I like to think that any moderately sensible person who reads Twan's threads will see more than enough justify never closing the case on the guy.
