I noticed that he's popped in and viewed the thread a few times. Yet didn't feel the need to comment? Anyone have any idea who "James McDermott" is?

True. I gave him my address to be delivered to, and her verified that he received the address and will ship to it. As soon as I freakin figure out how to post my emails properly, I will.
His username here (now at least) is thiskidkillz
Bec areful! I don't know if I'm reading wrong, but the way he answered your dispute saying you collected in person. Sounds to me like he is trying to say you went and picked it up from him. As he made no reference to UPS in his reply to the dispute.![]()
How do I get them to you to post??
That is correct - his response is that Ryan picked the item up in person.
Here is his reply (not sure what the August 9th statement really means):
From Seller - James McDermott

the item was picked up by the buyer
From Seller - James McDermott

on august 9th the buyer (ryan carver) picked up the item in person.
You're obviously dealing with a criminal mastermind here. Be sure to provide PayPal with the email where he claims to have sent the snake and gives you a tracking number.
