    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....

Bad Guy Paul Prunier - SCAMMER

I do want to point out that neither of us have wasted our time trying to contact him via text or call since he blocked me and it became obvious that he was running a scam. It is interesting that he's at "-800", meaning he already spent the money she sent before even shipping the snake (assuming he ever had the snake to begin with, which I highly doubt).
 
It seems to me he wanted to point out it was an animal with the hopes that paypal would automatically deny your claim. Let's hope that you are one of the lucky ones that can still win a claim even though it is an animal.

Good luck to you, I really hope you can get your money back because it sure doesn't seem like he has that snake to send you.
 
Now I see why you and Victoria were so meticulous in saying my name during the video of my new BEL to indicate it was from that day. I'm sorry y'all went through this, I hope it gets resolved.
 
Exactly Tracy, normally if someone requests specific photos we put the person's name with the date so they know we took the photo specifically for them and didn't just pull it from somewhere. Since with you we sent a video I figured just mentioning your name was enough :p.

Victoria usually is much more thorough when buying and requests more photos, etc., I think she was just really excited about getting the snake and didn't do as much research as she normally would.
 
I was worried that because Paul used the word "snake" and "live animal" so many times in the dispute, PayPal might not refund me.
It all came to a happy resolution this morning!

Glad to hear you recovered your funds. So maybe now we can put to rest the "Paypal wont back you when a live animal is involved" argument. If item never shipped it doesn't matter what the item was.

:iagree:

Victoria, so glad everything worked out well, and as it should, in the end!

I'm glad you were able to get your money back. Sadly this pathetic Paul guy will continue to scam people. I get so angry when losers like this guy take advantage of other people especially if they get away with it. Again, I'm glad you got your money back :)
