Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Payment Plants - No Communication/Payments? Now What?
I am just curious about what to do in this type of situation...I am not at any place where I would like to name any names or take anything to the BOI because it really isn't that serious of an issue at this point, but I would really appreciate some advice.
Say you set someone up on a payment plan for a snake that costs a total of $900. They mail you a $100 deposit, and plan to send 4 sets of $200 payments monthly. You receive the deposit, and one month goes by with no communication or payment.
You send an e-mail, asking to touch base/clarify what is going on with the payments. No response.
2 weeks later, ask again. No response/Payments.
What is the best way to approach this situation? Send the buyer an email saying he has 'x' amount of time to respond/send payment? Then is it okay to keep the deposit and put the animal back up on the market for sale?
Just confused about the ethics of this problem.
Thanks for any insight. ^_^

Leigh,
A difficult situation and your two week wait speaks well of you.
Since you say they mailed the payment, I'd go the extra mile and mail them a payment request, with a request that they either call or email to confirm that the payment is on the way. This will alert them just in case they did send a payment via mail and it did not reach you. Unusual, but possible. If you don't get a response in a week, go ahead and relist your critter.

Thanks, Lucille. Maybe they have an internet problem, I will send them a letter in the mail with my phone number to see if I can get some answers that way before I do anything drastic. I would hate for them to be in some kind of life problem where they can't get to a computer and I jumped the gun, though I do feel like it's been an awfully long time :/
