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.

    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.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    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 just completed a transaction with Garrett of G's Geckos. It took longer than expected due to shipping delays and Garrett being unable to get the geckos out as planned.

Garrett was apologetic about the delays and sent me an additional gecko to make up for the inconvenience.

The geckos arrived healthy and as described!

04-27-2013, 05:39 PM We agreed on a shipped price for the gecko features in a fauna as (http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=390552) using Private Message. I requested that the seller sends a request for funds to my email to pay via Pay Pal.

04-27-2013 A request for funds was sent

04-29-2013 request was received and payment was made via PayPal

Now our email chain:

So why was the gecko not shipped? We decided on today. I drove the 25 minutes to FedEx to find no gecko.

May 9 (Today) Via Facebook

When are you sending the gecko? You were suppose to ship Tuesday for Wednesday delivery. I have now made a claim with PayPal and will not release the claim until the gecko is shipped.

May 9 (Today) Via Fauna Private Message

So, I have messaged via facebook and emailed you, and now fauna. Why was the gecko not sent along with tracking number. Claim has been made with paypal. BOI will be following.

Kate Femano is Garrett's girlfriend according to Facebook.

Still no contact from him today as of now. This thread was sent to him.
 
He also posted on another forum in March using the "kayxbro" email address. Note my blue arrows. Credibility is waning.

Message sent to Kate Femano via Facebook. I Have continued to email the address given. I have yet, to recieve a response to I went the way of trying the significant other since the screen name account is under her name and she appears on G's Geckos Facebook and Garrets personal Facebook account.

I purchased a gecko from Garrett May under your name on Fauna Classifieds. I have yet to receive the gecko and have added my transaction to the BOI: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=290073

I have sent several emails to: [email protected]; with no response.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
A bit disheartening to see they have logged in since I have continually tried to make contact using email, Facebook and Fauna private messaging. I still have not received a message since the missed shipping date.

Very good that you've caught and screen captured his/her or their activity, Jason.

Obviously he/she or they did receive your texts/emails & FB messages re: this thread yet are following it ... and chose to remain silent.

That says a lot about the seller.

Paypal has now closed the dispute and refunded the account. No contact was made to me by any of the parties involved. No action was taken by them in any way to correct the issue after the missed ship date. They took no action with Paypal once the claim was opened.

A short summery: A, African Fat Gecko was offered for sale, I paid and contacted several times to set-up a ship date. Contact was made and the ship date came and left without the gecko being shipped. A claim was made with Paypal since contact was not made about missed shipping. Several attempts (Facebook, email, Fauna Private Message) with no contact. Paypal closed the claim, refunding money due to lack of response by seller.

Below is the email from Paypal confirming my refunded due due the Paypal claims/dispute process. I have removed my account identifiers such as case numbers.

Garrett May appears to be attempting fraudulent activity again. He is now using the name Alfred Buttacavoli as the user geckoholic21. However, the email he sends stuff through shows up as coming from Garrett May. I paid for the two RTB red and cream female crested geckos he currently has listed and did not notice the name difference until Paypal told me I sent a payment to "Alfred Buttacavoli" when it was Garret May I had been talking to through the same email connected to the Paypal account. I did a search on both names after that. Found nothing on Alfred Buttacavoli (likely a fake name he is using) and noticed the geckoholic21 account was created only days ago. Paypal claim filed. I will post screen caps of the email messages he has sent me and start a new BOI, if appropriate, to alert people to the likely fake name and account.
 
Here is the email chain of communications:

Please go into Paypal and refund my money now. Otherwise, I will have to escalate to a Paypal claim.

I realized there are two vastly different names being used on Fauna, your email and Paypal accounts, and then found a BOI linking one of the names to questionable selling behavior where people never got their geckos. It makes me uncomfortable putting my $500 out there in good faith. Paypal would have guaranteed you that payment as I am verified and it was a direct transfer of actual funds from my checking account. Wanting me to wait for a payment to clear your bank could mean I loose my funds or have them tied up for a month should a situation like that on the Fauna BOI prove true. I can't risk it. Using two different names and having a newly created Fauna account makes me uneasy. I'd like an explanation and I would still like those geckos if they are really yours to sell, I am just afraid of loosing my money and getting no geckos.

What shipping company do you use and will they have live and on-time arrival insurance? Can I see some more pictures of them or their parents while I wait for shipping?

Ok great, sounds good. I ship once it clears the bank, I've had payments get denied before after I shipped out geckos. So I just play it safe now. It usually takes 2-3 days so I'm thinking monday? But that's something we can arrange after you sleep haha goodnight

I just sent in the payment. I got off work late so sorry for the delay. Please let me know when you receive the payment. When were you thinking you would be able to ship? I would prefer to work it out for a day that I don't work the night before so that I can assure I won't be held late at the hospital. I work again tonight so I'll be asleep until this evening. My phone is 208-283-7374 if you need it and Paypal should show you my shipping address, but let me know if it does not. Thanks.

They look awesome. I would love to get them, but I really need to get to sleep since I work nights and now only have 6 hours to sleep before I have to be back to work. I saw your ad and I just had to ask about them before I logged off the computer. Who produced them? Where are you located? Will you be able to ship them out soon without temperature issues to work around too much? It is getting cold here at night so they might need a heat pack or extra insulation. I will check my email when I wake up to see if you still have them. Thanks.
