    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.....

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


    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....

Here is a screen shot of the PayPal payment I sent to the account Garrett gave me. If I missed anything or you have any suggestions that may help my cause, I'm all ears! I appreciate anyone reading this and my apologies if it's confusing. Thank you again.

Justin, wow it could be! I never seen his face before. But that's where he's from, Hobart Indiana. I ran an inquiry on this site recently and discovered that he pretty much did the same thing to a Dallas Spergin back in 08. Of course I've learned to now run an inquiry before I pay for anything! Well, if he's locked up for what I saw, he's gonna be away for awhile.... I hope the snake is alright. I hope he was in a fight and not whooping on his girl?? Geez. How did you find this, btw and thank you. I figured something was up.

Maybe Ryan T can chime in? He knows Garrett. Sorry, I didn't know how to just 'quote' Ryans post.

I Googled his name.:) Had a funny feeling the seller was either dead, hospitalized or arrested. Anyways, glad to help and best of luck. ~JB
 
Can't you just request a refund from PayPal since nothing was shipped?
 
I wish. I made the mistake of using friends and family vs goods and services, which protects the buyer. I was not aware of this when I made the purchase.
 
I am not positive but I believe it is not legal for him to sell that snake being a native Bull snake to the state. You may want to check into that. I would start a charge back right away also. Sorry for your bad luck on dealing with this con man. Pituophis are some of the best species to work with. Hopefully you will get the chance.

Thank you Sam. All I can do now is explain to the bank. We'll see what happens....
