    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.....

    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 noticed this ad on Kingsnake: http://market.kingsnake.com/detail.php?cat=33&de=249944

Last month I had a baby sorong on Reptibid. I then had to take it down because the baby fell off his perch and got a kink in his tail. I didn't feel it was right to sell a snake with a defect. Anyway, I decided to sell it with a much lower price than before. Ofcourse, I put in the auction that it had a kink in it's tail. Noone bidded on my snake. I then get an email from Ryan wanting to buy the snake for $180 with a kinked tail. I sold it to him without any mention of pics of the parents and when it was hatched.

Anyway, if you look at the link above, that is the same snake that I sold to him. I have proof because I still have my old pics of the sorong, and it matches the one above perfectly. It's being sold as a "Gorgeous & perfect Sorong type neonate." Hmmm...I don't think so. It has a kinked tail. I also noticed that one of the condition is that "Not responsible for carrier mishandling." Hmmm...I guess if the buyer receives the sorong and notices a kinked tail, I suppose it's the carriers fault for mishandling. Too bad then for the buyer. Also, as far as the hatch date of 5/6/04, I sure as hell didn't know it was hatched then. Another thing is that " Pictures of the parents are also available to any serious buyer. " I never had pictures of the parents, and didn't know exactly who the breeder was. I was told it was CB, but since the seller couldn't give me a breeder, I'm assuming is was farmed.

Well, I just wanted to give a heads up because I know that snake in the kingsnake ad was my sorong.
 
Ooops...

I'm new at this...lol!!! I guess I should have just added this to one of the other threads. My fault. Feel free to just add this with one of the others.

As far as screenshots go, I just copied and pasted the ad. I hope that's okay.

Screen shots are better but that works. It gets you back in line with the rules. ;)
 
paypal

I also see, that in his terms, anyone who uses Paypal gets dinged an extra 3% (to be pocketed by him). Is that not against their terms of service?

If I notify Paypal, is there any chance of them terminating his account?
 
It does violate Paypal's TOS in addition to Federal Law. They may or may not terminate his account.
 
I thought that name looked familiar. and when I checked the search link someone posted, I was right. He's a scum bag. Report him. He's a liar. Read the posts involving my dealing with him. He's been banned from ReptiBid 3 times for his shadyness. What is his username on ReptiBid? It needs reported to the moderators.
 
Well, here's some pics of the Sorong when I had it. Notice in the second pic how the tail is kinked. Isn't this the same snake as in the ad?

Paypal

I'll do it. I volunteer to rat him out to Paypal. However, before I do so, I just need to clarify something (as I have never used the site). A person's account is based on their email addy, correct? If so, does anyone know which one ryan uses for the site? I just want to be sure, as these scammers tend to use numerous phoney accounts.
 
his e-mail addy here might be different from the one he is using for paypal.

what you need is the e-mail he uses for paypal.
there is a way to get it
and hopefully I will have it soon enough ;)
 
Ryan's email addy of

[email protected]

is a good Paypal address. It comes up as a "Verified Premier Member (15)"

It can be used to report him.
