    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....

Since he'd said he was making it right in early May he wasn't banned from Pangea Trade but he is now per the rules there, since he's falling back on crying harassment and has gone MIA after saying he'd make it right. Katie, if this gets "fixed" to your satisfaction - or at least the promised compromise - please make sure me or one of the other mods over there knows.

It's a shame when someone with potential digs a grave so deep over something so petty. Such an easy thing to fix!

I'll be sure to let you know! Thanks so much Jaybee!
 
Well dang...just read we can't reply to trade posts anymore and I see he's back to posting here. Is there a paid member that's willing to link this thread in his trade posts? If I had the cash right now I'd become a paid member and do it myself...
 
Hey Robert, I see you are viewing this once again...any chance of you responding? I'm going to guess that's a no. Here hoping you'll decide that your reputation is worth more than $40!
 
I can't, but Dennis did. He also posted a link on his profile (didn't know we could do that, or I would have yesterday lol). Thanks Dennis!

Robert, are you SERIOUSLY going to just sit there and view this thread without one word? This is just pathetic. You treated me like crap after you ignored me...and now you are back to ignoring me. Plan on growing up anytime soon, or is this going to be your business practice? Can't own up to a simple mistake, ignore your customer, insult your customer, then back to ignoring your customer? You won't last long in the reptile world with those shoddy ethics...

He lists that gecko as sold in the ad.
I wonder how true that is.

Me too, considering the ad was just put up today and there are a lot more geckos listed that are just as nice, if not nicer, for a lower price. Hopefully, if she really is sold, the buyer gets what he/she paid for...

I'm sure he's made it up to prove to everyone that he can for sure still sell geckos!

I wonder how many gecko sales he's going to lose over $40.00

That's less than the price of shipping. Honestly, I think he owes you more back after all this nonsense and harassment you've endured on your end.

In the beginning I would have just taken a apology for the mistake, but when he blatantly ignored me, then insulted me, that's when I decided I wasn't going to be nice and just let it slide. I won't let him walk all over me like that. :angry:

It wouldn't surprise me if he marked it as sold for that very reason. Sadly, I can't view his Facebook for his business as he never unblocked me to see what's been going on there.

After I was cool-headed during this whole fiasco, and agreed to wait for the refund, I'm pretty ticked now, and I plan to make this little thread a personal 'hobby'. I don't want him doing this to someone else for even more money. It's sad that he thinks that he can just do this and get away with it. I won't let that happen.

I'm just fed up with his childish crap. Scammer in the making? Quite possibly. Don't see why else he'd let $40 ruin his name, unless he just doesn't care about his reputation. :shrug01:
 
Not good

Yours is the first negitive seller/buyer post ive Read since ive gotten back into cresteds 2 weeks ago. Sorry uve had to deal with it, i thought this only happened in the arachnid hobby. Ive been proved wrong. Hope it all works out for you katie.
Eddie
 
Thanks Eddie. At this point, I don't think I'll be seeing that refund sadly. Who knows...maybe he'll get some sense knocked into him and realize this is not good for business.

Welcome back to the hobby :)
