• Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    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....

Removing ads?

Is it within the sellers power to remove an ad once it has been posted?
A transaction I made a little while ago (less than 2 weeks) now the ads are gone?

Yes they can.
 
why is that possible when that is concrete published evidence in reference for disputes etc?
 
You can easily take a screen shot of the ad if that is what you are worried about.

In fact in my opinion you should keep screenshots if you make the purchase. Even if the seller doesn't delete the ad it can be edited.

Bear in mind also, that those ads are "soft deleted" by the user meaning they are still in the database, just no longer visible to users. But...the text may have been edited first and any photos removed.
 
Yes, unfortunately just like when buying elsewhere online, it's the buyer's responsibility to retain proof of transaction, whether a printed copy or a screen capture. You can't count on internet ads or postings to be public forever, unfortunately, because of the dynamic nature of websites. Even Ebay auction descriptions become defunct automatically within a set time limit.
 
Ah se la ve. I have much "evidence" paypal, email, etc so that is not an issue, although for a seller to remove an ad could infer something to the integrity of the seller him or herself. Thanks for the input.

Like maybe they don't want to continue to be contacted for animals they no longer have??
I remove my ads as soon as the animal (or item) is out of my possession...if I don't have it, I can't sell it - if I can't sell it, why advertise it?
