• 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....

I've been thinking lately that it would be easier (and more accurate) to just give someone my Fed Ex account number and have it billed directly to me when purchasing a snake.

Say for instance, I'm purchasing 10 adult females and guesstimating would be a little hard. I would tell them to print the label with my account number.

Is this permitted and is this safe? I have been incorrectly charged before and Fed Ex has paid me back so I don't think anyone illegally using my account can harm me too much; plus recipients have my account number when they receive the package anyway.

Am I missing a part of the puzzle or is paying my actual shipping too good to be true :D

Thanks
 
Why give them your account number? You should be able to send them a return label that you make. There is even a way to email one, and if it doesn't get used it won't cost you anything.
 
I've provided shipping labels to sellers before. It's sort of a hassle which is likely why you don't see it done very often. I certainly don't mind doing it depending upon the case.

Good idea!! I was gonna try to put the work on them :rofl:

That's good to know. I've never heard of it being done but I'm glad to hear it works fine!
 
I do it all the time, both as a buyer and seller. I have many customers Fed-Ex account numbers, so they get billed the exact charges at the discount they have.......I've never had a problem with it......
