    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....

Bad Guy Barbie - Dubia Fraud-BUYER BEWARE

Those postal weights are pretty damning evidence I understand he has been mean and rude and way out of line, but I wouldn't expect too many of you would have been all sugar and spice after being shorted 800+ dollars of any product you ordered. I've been ripped off before I know the feeling and I think Barbie needs to either ship him the balance of weight or refund the money. It doesn't matter if he lied the entire process, he upheld his end of the deal he payed every penny she asked for the product she was selling. Just my 2 cents.

final set of texts. That is everything. Again, nothing to hide. Just pure truth.

Yes pure truth. The truth is you intentionally lied to the seller. Plain and simple.

The truth also seems to say that these texts were not as bad as they were made out to be. Rude? Sure. Condescending? You bet! Annoying? Heck yeah!

So far the evidence points to something obviously happened on Barbie's end. If it was intentional or not remains to be seen.

Come on Korbin. Wow, I did not know this was a popularity contest. "You may be right about this and deserve a refund but....." But what. This is business, period. I've never denied calling her a meth head. I have never denied I insulted her intelligence because the way she was talking in circles and spells. It was fine up until she told me to shove it and call paypal. If you got ripped off for almost a $1000, you would not be upset? NO?

How both parties conduct themselves? Come again Korbin. Are you really talking about the political correctness to a seller when they rip someone off for almost $1000.

No this isn't a popularity contest but it is business. Who I chose to do business with is based on many things, One of them being how I know the other person conducts themselves. So yeah, I will judge both parties.

I dis have someone steal almost $1,000 from last year and I plan on making a boi thread about it. When I do I will send you a link so you can judge me. I am almost positive I never called him a meth head. Maybe I just like to do my business in a different way.... you know the honest way.
 
How can I enter a weight? I printed flat rate shipping labels off of paypal. Its flat rate. I printed the labels and dropped them off that's it.

Trust me the call was worse and I was just trying to touch on the fact that he lied about everything and that I couldn't deal with him any more.
 
As you can see I was even polite after he was yelling and saying rude stuff to me. I did the math for the females and the refund would be $350 for the 500 and the dead.

Ok, let's try it this way.

Barbie, what are willing to offer him?

Plain and simple, no excuses or blaming, just flat out, what are you, right now, willing to do for this guy?
 
Wilomn said:
Barbie, do you have any proof of your counts? Did you take pictures of a scale or some video? And why do you keep asking him to post all the texts? Don't you have them too? Why don't you post them all? Where you with your friend that counted the ENTIRE time she was counting? What, besides counting, where you doing?
Click to expand...

Still waiting on answers here too.
 
Question? And it may be insignificant here, but I haven't had a chance to follow all the twists and turns.

Barbie, is that the tracking numbers you have for that package? It shows the origin as Billings, Montana which is better than 7 hours from where you live according to your profile. Did you really drive that far to drop off bugs?
 
I moved back to Montana:) I would be willing to pay for what I didn't count personally (500 female breeders) and the dead when I calculated that it came to a little less than $350 but I would pay him the $350.
 
How I see it is I let someone else count five hundred and im responsible for that absolutely and also for deaths that's part of the agreement so I will pay that any day of the week because its right.

So, this person who did the counting, you will not vouch for not take responsibility for nor even answer simple questions about, is pretty much getting a pass? She counted how many roaches and how many were received?

How many roaches to you have available right now?
 
barbie said:
I did not take video or pics on the scale I only took pics of the finished just before shipping. I hand counted all the large med and breeders except 500 females that my friend counted that I agreed to give a refund on because I didn't do it myself plus I was going to ad in extra for the inconvenience of my friends very unlikely miscount but I would have given him the benefit of the doubt out of good business. My small nymphs wher very small and most just born my scale said about 307 grams

For wilomn I answered on 13 sorry about that hope this helps!!
 
She only counted 500 and she has been my friend since I was 13. I will pay for what she counted even though I think they were their. and I will not send this guy anymore roaches because that is what I think he wanted out of the whole scam. I will refund $350 for the 500 and the dead

I agreed for a partial refund for the ones i did not count myself. The ones i counted my self i know are their. I did not want him to have to go through paypal until he started calling me names and screaming. I was unaware of the paypal rule about live animals because i have never had this problem before he just said its what he wanted to do so i agreed that maybe paypal would be the best rout. I offered $300 or a little more for the refund because his pics are not even close to what i shipped but he wanted almost $900 back and i cant agree with that because i know what i counted.

Above is post 13. It is nowhere NEAR an answer.

HOW many did she count? Were YOU with her the entire time? Who boxed them up? Who dropped them off? How, what method, did she use to arrive at her count?

I'd like numerical answers where possible please.
 
Justin please post the other sites you said you are so well known on I want to see if you have ever done this before.
 
1850 (1500 original and 350 extras)females is what you told him he was getting , some for being late and some for the missing smalls so I think the balance on females alone is closer to 850-1000 and isn't there still an issue with a ton of missing mediums that needs to be addressed ?
The weights listed on the USPS manifests aren't those weights from the post office weighing the boxes not Barbie ? They have to keep track of weights to keep their vehicles legal on the highway even if it isn't over night air.
 
I said she counted 500 I was not their so I said I would pay for those I hand counted 1350 female breeders in total by hand and 200 male breeders by hand. I also by hand counted 2500 medium nymphs. then I weighed aprox 13000 small at a weight of 307grms and through in the 163 large nymphs just for good messure because my package went out late.

If you didn't weight them - then the post office did according to the proof posted. How do you explain the weight difference between what the boxes should have weighed and what the post office has as the actual weight?

NO, only time you get USPS weights is if you take package to the post office and they weigh it and you pay there.

When you do it at home, you do the weight, and print off label that shows that weight. The post office may change it, but they dont update it on the package or tracking.

Fedex and UPS are only ones that are on top of weight differences and will update it in the system and charge you for the difference if its heavier

Flat Rate boxes are weiged for USPS records but are not added anywhere.

Where them weights came from Im not sure from screen shots. But i ship Flat rate all the time, and never are weights required. I either schedule pickup or drop off in box. Weights are never added to the package or to my USPS account.
