    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....

Haven't had too many of these thank goodness, but I have one here this morning and with everything going on and all the twisted people out there these days I'm questioning posting my DOA seller on the BOI the the info tag... then proceeding to the BAD GUY post if the situation escalates. I have sent her a PM and am waiting for my youtube video to upload to send her a message. Any thoughts?
 
Give the seller a chance to respond and rectify things before you go posting on the BOI. My two cents, anyways.

What were their terms regarding DOAs?
 
I have shipped a lot of reptiles and never had a DOA problem. I've been with Fauna for awhile and I think most people can say i'm not a bad person. I've sold and traded many reptiles through Fauna with 0 problems. I would appreciate no one jumping the gun on me for the DOA... I was asleep this morning when I was contacted about the DOA. I just got online with Fauna a little bit ago to find the message. I was not deliberately avoiding anything in any way. I don't appreciate that a BOI was considered after only 2 hours of waiting for a reply. A lot of people work at these hours, so to start questioning reporting on BOI for a DOA when you don't get a reply for two hours is a really inconsiderate.

I should of taken a video before shipping her, but I have never had a single problem in the past with shipping reptiles. She was 100% healthy and very much alive when I boxed her up yesterday morning. Regardless, a full refund is being given.

since the parties are both posting, any further discussion regarding a specific transaction should be taken to PMs or to the BOI.
thank you
