Rich,
The payment was made on December 3, 2007 10:02:38 PM MST according to my email receipt. So it was around 32 before I filed the dispute. The dispute was to elicit a response. That's what they are for. Apparently it did grab your attention. I waited another day before starting this thread. You may think it's unreasonable but I disagree and that's okay. I was just hoping for a moderator or you to get back and say things were just taking some time. Your little "absentee landlord" sig. led me to believe you had turned over the show to the mods. Sorry, my mistake.
Well, 10:02pm PST on 12/03 actually equates to 01:03am EST on 12/04. So PayPal can't figure out the time zone difference either. But your point? 32 hours IS actually less than 48 hours.....
So you believe waiting a mere 32 hours before filing a complaint with PayPal was appropriate? If you truly believe that PayPal does not keep a record of complaints and they CAN be black marks on someone's record, then I believe you may be a bit ignorant in how such things work.

I just don't understand this. If you hate running Fauna so much then why the heck do you do it? For the love of God and your own health and sanity make a change.
I've made quite a few changes, thank you. Right now I basically ignore most people except for those who go out of their way to attack me directly. You know, things like berating me in public because I don't comply with their own demands to conform with what THEY want, and filing complaints with PayPal, etc., etc. I can't really say I hate Fauna as much as I really dislike some of the personalities that try their best to destroy it and attack me in the process.

I shouldn't have checked this thread again but curiosity and compulsion led me to. I admire you for not pulling a site-which-shall-not-be-named move and just deleting my account. But geez, you're not a martyr for the cause. I never claimed in my messages or this thread that I was a victim of anything. I never mentioned Fauna taking my money and then denying me service. All I wanted to know, and rightly so as a customer, is why my inquiries were not being answered. I just wanted to advertise some animals. A simple private note to me would have sufficed. I would have posted that everything was taken care of well. You could have posted an apology instead of an attack.
Perhaps you should look at your own manner of handling this. Would it be that difficult to believe that maybe I was tied up elsewhere? Do you take vacations? Do you ever take down time to just get away from things for a while? Hmm, maybe not. You are getting out of this, so maybe you haven't.... You know, there was a guy in the group we were vacationing with who had his cell phone going off about every fifteen minutes. What kind of vacation is that? Quite frankly, if the world ends here because I am not around to handle every nit-picking detail, then it will just have to end.

People ask me why after so much investment of sweat, tears, money, and blood I would walk away from breeding. My answer is that I am too weary anymore to deal with the snakes and rats, the human variety, not the animals. I've been fortunate to deal with some really great people and cautious enough not to get taken (not too badly, anyway). I think the satisfaction of our customers bears out that I practice what I preach. But the crap that goes on among the "community" has become intolerable.
I submit the possibility that perhaps some of the "intolerable" events you have suffered with the "community" may have been through your own doing. Certainly, as witnessed here, patience is not your strong point. The expectation that someone MUST attend to you wants when demanded, regardless of any other consideration, certainly is not very reasonable.

Sometimes the only path to victory is surrender. Go ahead and berate me some more while you sit on the pity pot. I don't need the last word.
This is not being done to berate you, but simply to point out to you that perhaps your methods in trying to get someone's attention needs some refinement. And an understanding that not everyone dances at the pace you demand could be helpful as well. Yeah, I guess you were in such an all fired hurry to post your animals for sale, but sheesh......... 32 hours after paying for a membership and there is a delay (caused by PayPal, no less) and you're ready to string me up over it because of that?

P.S.: that's a joke, I'm not dogging anyone.
Good luck in your other pursuits in life. I do mean that sincerely.
