• 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....

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so I apologize if it is on the wrong board.

Has anyone else been getting e-mails from reptibid saying you are the winning bidder on an auction, even though you were not? I have gotten 3 e-mail in the past two days telling me I had won auctions that ended up to a month ago, and I was not the winning bidder. I have also been getting e-mails telling me my items have been re-listed after they have already been sold. Anyone else having problems with reptibid, or is it just me? I have e-mailed reptibid, but of course, no response.
 
Sydney, I have had good success on Reptibid both as buyer and seller. I have gotten appropriate notices of being outbid, item relisted and winner of an auction item. I e mailed the reptibid webmaster a few times when I first registered and he always answered me by the next day. I think reptibid is a wonderful way to sell reptiles FREE!!! just like Fauna;) .
 
Technical Difficulties?

I think Reptibid is currently experiencing some technical difficulties.
I had several books listed for sale that suddenly closed and re-listed, even though there were bids on at least one of them.

I'm not sure what's going on - they're not real strong on communication, but there is definitely a problem with the software right now.

It's hard to get upset or complain when they appear to do all this out of generosity to the herp community. About all you can do is ride it out.

Thanks,
 
i got a bunch of emails from every singal item i had sold since day one, i dont know what it was all about but i just deleted them
 
I don't know if this is relevant or not, but thought I would share my own thoughts...

I used to be BIGTIME into online auctions, even had a website something like the BOI (but only sorta) as a sort of seal of approval for people's auctions. This was before I was into Herps in any way. SO... the longstoryshort... recently I've been getting emails from both ebay and yahoo auctions regarding my "winning bid" on some item or other. Now I probably participate in auctions about 3 times a year, but in each of these latest situations, I've been getting these emails about auctions that I have not participated in.

While Reptibid might be having a problem, I would urge severe caution when checking out these emails. Often these bogus emails lead you to either a virus, or to entering your "information" on a page that superficially looks like you are on Yahoo or Ebay or Reptibid... only it's a scammer trying to get your information so they can steal your identity.

Sydney ive got 7 e-mails in the past 3 days saying i was the winner of an auction that i have never even but a bid in.
 
I received several emails in the past week from Reptibid notifying me that I won an auction/lost an auction. I did bid on each of the auctions several months ago. At the time I never received any emails. It's as if they were floating around cyberspace for the last few months if that's at all posssible.
