The paypal name shows Charity David, not sure which is correct..His handle here is Spiderfox84. Let me start off with saying, I purchased 2 Gulf coast box turtles from this seller, and all went pretty smooth with that transaction. Other than questionable shipping methods, using usps express, non insulated box, not a whole lot of package material to keep them from bouncing around, etc. Here is the link to one of the turtles I bought. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=389615
Now to the bad part. The seller contacted me about some really high end eastern box turtles, after the above transaction was made. I asked for pics, and they were exactly as described....amazing. We got into details about cost and what not, we eventually agreed on 20 pairs of eastern box turtles, all of them supposedly very nice looking. I sent $1200 on april 14th, and $500 more the same day for a friend. After sending payment, he made mention that it is not legal for him to send them. I will admit, I dont know all the laws, but I did ask to be refunded because I do not want to break any of them. He then said, he could ship them from SC instead of VA. I said (which I believe is correct, someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that it would still be a violation of the legacy act. He then stated, he lives in SC, his girlfriend lives in VA, and it is legal for him to send 20 eastern box turtles, per person, per year. Either his stories changed constantly, or I am easily confused, either way I took his word for it and continued trying to find a way to make it a legal transaction. I called F&W, and they told me it's 10 per person. He said he would send me 10, and his girlfriend would send 10, and he would refund the rest. He then said that he called, and they told him 20 per person. A few times he was supposed to ship, and kept making excuses. eventually, that turned to no responses. Something that seems oh so familiar. I have filed claims on paypal, hoping for the best. I will be posting screen shots soon, and have made him aware that I was making this thread. I will text him the link shortly.
