• In the past two days I have gotten emails asking about being requested to provide credit card info in order to register and also to make a post in the classifieds forums. PLEASE NOTE: In no instance will this site ask you for this sort of information. The only time any request for payment is made is if you choose to opt-in for a higher membership level, and that is done SOLELY through PayPal. Anything else is coming from a source other than this site. My guess is that this is coming through Google Adsense, but when I can get someone to send me a screen shot of this sort of request, I will know more.

    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.

Let's not forget Dan's reputation is also on the line. It appears to have been an honest mistake and once proof is given that all is well, I feel this thread should come down as not to punish someone for something beyond their control.

Even if the guilty party is found innocent? Anyone doing a quick search could get the wrong idea if the don't read carefully. This isn't the place for this discussion I understand, but that just doesn't seem like a fair system?

That's why everyone should read the whole thread before making a decision on whether a seller/buyer is a good/bad guy.

This is Dan. In my defense. My 6 yr old dropped my phone and shattered it. It had all the shipping info and everything on it. 4 days later. I've contacted BMW Reptiles and the monitors are on their way. He'll have them by 10 30 tomorrow morning. He said he has placed a thread stating these same facts and will repost in the morning. I'm no thief. Shit just happens sometimes. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and i look forward to remaining part of the fauna class. Community

Dan does not appear to be a scammer, and came through with the lizards. So he appears innocent of wrongdoing.
The phone was disabled apparently at the precise moment it was needed to help continue the transaction.

However, I think that Dan could have, with the help of a friend's phone and a little time, gotten through to his buyer and reassured him sooner.

There is value in this thread.
Not only does it show that such an accident can totally derail plans, put it may also plant a seed in future reader-sellers, that if such events should ever happen to them, that some effort at swift communication may head off reactions by their buyers, perfectly understandable reactions, when a planned shipment doesn't happen so that the buyers, with no communication, do not think the worst and start such threads.
Both sides gain by good communication.
