    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....

I recently did business with Lizardguy123 aka supalurk sommanus aka Billy Sommanus for a proven trio of red ackies.

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=654217

The ad did not have a lot of detail in regards to the health of the animal or if he guaranteed that they were in good condition. I asked when the photos were taken and he said they were from last fall. I asked for a current pic and also asked if he would guarantee that they are outwardly healthy. He sent me a pic and guaranteed that they were in fact outwardly healthy. The appearance of the animals in the pic looked acceptable, but upon receiving the trio I immediately noticed that one female was in very poor condition and believe the photo was taken while the emaciated female was puffed up in defense. Her spine was was visible , as well as her neck vertebrae. Her skin was loose all over her body as if she was deflated, her tail was a bit flat, and her hips were very prominent with deep pockets on both sides of her tail below her hips showing she had little to no fat reserves. She was basically skin and bones. The seller even admitted that she is skinny and underweight and basically told me to nurse her back to health. I didn't send him $2500 for animals that need to be nursed back to health. I paid for animals that he guaranteed were healthy. I have all the text messages as proof of the guarantee, as well as pictures of the emaciated female that I will post in this thread. I have given him many opportunities to make things right and he is now refusing any communication with me. I had no choice but to file a claim with paypal, which he is disputing, and write this post. I wasn't even asking for a full refund, just for the unhealthy female. With the condition of this animal, she is of no value, as no one in their right mind would buy an animal like this. Lizardguy123 should be avoided as he is "getting out of the hobby" and really doesn't care about the animals, or his customers he burns.

Please post the emails, it will help bolster your case and allow us to see just how the seller reacted.
 
Sorry for the delay. I just got back into town. Here are the screen shots of the text messages between the seller and myself. I included all of them prior to the deal going bad.
