    **************************************************
    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....

so, i just realized that if you buy feeder insects with paypal and got scammed then you cant get your money back? so im screwed?? is that right? because they don't cover live insects? has any1 gotten their money back when purchasing feeder insects through paypal? any info or advice would help. Thanks
 
When dealing with PayPal, getting a refund for any animal purchase is a bit of a crapshoot. If you're lucky enough to have paid with a credit card or a withdrawal from your bank account, you may still be in luck. As long as you didn't pay with money that you happened to have laying in your PayPal account, there's often a degree of recourse. How exactly was the purchase funded?
 
If/when the seller makes it clear that they don't intend to make you whole, you can always take it to the BOI. It may not help you got your money back, but it'll help others who may consider buying from this person. If you decide to go that route, include all of the evidence that you have: screenshot of the ad, any text/email conversations, pictures of what you received, etc. Just be aware that, since you can't undeniably prove that you received what you claim, there's enough doubt for the seller to try to exploit. For future reference, get in the habit of documenting everything. Even a crummy cell phone video can make a big difference.
