    **************************************************
    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....

Bad Guy Crestieman - Robert Shays Reptiles

I think part of all this was the fact that he was being so nasty to this particular buyer. I first took real note of Katie in this thread: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244897
where she ended up adopting a stray but handicapped kitten. Throughout all of this, that kind of personality has shone through, she is spunky and stands up for herself, but never stooped to the kinds of behavior and posts that this seller did.

What he did was inexcusable anywhere, but particularly so to this kind person who was just pointing out that her birthday gecko was not as advertised.
 
Wow guys, thanks for all the kind words :) Little Paperclip is doing great btw.

Yes, while I did finally receive the refund, I will not be purchasing from Robert again. I truly hope he does learn from this and betters himself, I will not risk going through this again. This thread will be here for others to make their own decision as to buy from him or not. I know my decision on that matter, it's up to everyone else to make their own.

Thanks again everyone! Don't hesitate to call on me if you ever need a 'favor' lol :)
