• 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.....

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


    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....

Has anyone had any kind of out come with dealing with him??? I paid for a ranco thermo like 6 weeks ago and I guess the usps just can't seem to get it to me according to Jeff. Let me know if you have any info about him or advice for me.
 
Well I paypaled him $60 in September. I was told, after I paid, that he didn't have any on hand and he was waiting for a shipment to come in. After a week I asked him about them and he had nothing for me. To make this a short story, it's been about 6 weeks and so far I have no shipping info. I posted a couple visitor messages, sent emails, and sent pm's and he hasn't answered. I went to his home page here on fauna and was going to leave another message and someone had beaten me to it. Someone else left a message saying they were wanting to know where there shipment was and that they had filed a dispute with paypal. I have tried to be leanient and understanding but it has been to long with no solid answers or proof that he even sent anything out for me to just keep waiting. I don't know if he knows this thread was started or not but I am going to leave him a visitor message with a link to it so maybe he can clear this up.
 
I think at this point, if it were me, I would request a full refund. I personally would question why he is selling animals & accepting payment for animals he either does not have possession of or cannot quickly acquire to fulfill orders.

Since he's also apparently done the same to another customer, and has not communicated with you or the other customer, I certainly don't think a PayPal dispute is out of order.
 
I've only filed one dispute for a non-animal related electronic product that I purchased but never received through eBay.
It was simple going into my eBay account and then clicking the item number, then reported it never received. After another screen opened, I believe I was given the option to proceed with the claim. At some point I was automatically transferred to PayPal, signed in and continued the dispute. Not terribly difficult and I was refunded.
 
You should post his last name, any contact info you have like a phone number &/ or email address you paid him with so it will show up in a search.

In my experience with Paypal, the problem is that buyer protection only applies to purchases through e-bay. If it is any other kind of purchase, Paypal does not guarantee that you will get your money back. Chris, did you use a credit card charged through Paypal? If so, it is far easier to file a chargeback with your credit card if the seller does not come back with a product or a refund. I would personally start by asking for a refund through Paypal, then go to a Paypal dispute, then go to the credit card (hopefully). I ALWAYS use credit cards through Paypal now as I saved myself over $300 by doing that and filing a chargeback to get my money back.

Good luck, keep us posted.
 
I have my bank card, which is thru a federal credit union, linked to my paypal. I am hoping that Jeff will do the right thing and give me my $60 back before I have to go thru all the legal actions. I was hoping that I was the only one and it was truely just a mistake but I get the feeling I am not the only one. Would I be out of line to post on his ad thread that this was started incase anyone else had this problem? I know that alot of the people that were interested in buying from him were pretty new to the site and might not know about the BOI or how to use it.
 
If he has an ad here, you can post a link to this thread in it...but, be advised, that the classifieds are not the place to continue the discussion (it's an easy step from posting the link).
It would probably benefit people if you posted his user name and his full name, if you have them.
 
His account here (and on at least a couple other forums), is jeffh231979. His number, if you need it CJ, is on the home page of his site - I'll PM it to you, with some other info, in case it mysteriously disappears.
 
I also bought 14 Ranco's from Jeff and never got anything from him. He stopped responding to pm's and email's about 2 weeks ago. I filed a complaint with paypal and my credit card company. Basically if he doesn't respond in a few days my credit card company will refund my money to me and paypal will have to go after him for it. Always pay for anything you buy through paypal with a credit card. Paypal does not guarantee any refunds even if they rule in your favor. Tom Barone Azo Reptiles
