    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....

Trading etiquette?

So a new breeder and I entered a deal where I would send him about $50 worth of grapewood to pay for the shipping/handling of a leopard gecko.

My question is, who pays for the S/H of the wood? Do I cover that or does he? Is there a usual etiquette here or is it something we work out between ourselves?

We're both pretty new at this. I haven't raised the question with him yet.
 
Generally, the person offering something in trade covers shipping of that item. While other terms are possible, they would need to be addressed prior to any agreement (not after).
 
IMO You would cover the shipping of the grapewood.
Unless the two of you come to a different agreement.

Typically, in trades, each of the involved parties pay shipping for the items/critters that they, themselves, are trading.
Again, this is the norm unless another arrangement is agreed upon.
