    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

During winter time this year, I originally made a " trade" for one of my retics in which I was asking $500.00 for the snake.was her for an adult columbian boa and a dumerils adult.well, i had to pay my buddy( due to me being a deployed soldier) to ship her out.it was an hour drive there and back plus hassle of packing and shipping.shipping alone cost me 180.00.I held my end of the deal,like always.After he received her, all of the sudden due to some" local law" he was unable to ship his two snakes to me due to the fact they needed veterinary inspections, blood work and something else.I happen to find this pretty bogus, but i didnt know the West Virginia laws, or the local laws of his city.However , he all the sudden had to leave town due to a death in the family and issues over what she left behind( apparently is still there trying to sort it out several months later), so I have been allegedly talking to his wife about it, and "she" sent me 100.00 on the snake, since they werent able to ship the snakes he had promised and said she would send more once he got back home.All of the sudden.They apparently( I saw they due to me dealing with him and his wife) cant afford to send me any money and cant ship the snakes, however, had said someone was supposed to( some animal group, dont remember who) was going to take care of the vet bills and ship my retic back to me.this has been over a month now.So I am short one snake and under 80.00 for shipping my retic out.I am still deployed and am still getting the run-a-round on this whole situation because his wife is still waiting on him to get back home and she only gets a little money here and there for babysitting.how they pay bills, i dont know.since he has been out of town dealing with the death in the family and everything left behind, he cannot be working, she only babysits a little, and they do have several snakes, most have been posted on here...oh, another note, he had one a friend gave him, a CA het albino or something, sheasked if i wanted it, or she could sell it and send the money from it to me.nothing happened....I guess i have learned a lesson to not involve myself in trades,even though i will be glad to hold up my end of the bargain, others not so much...any advice on this situation would be helpful, but i think im pretty much just going to have to count my loss on this one.my name is joshua dickerson by the way---good guy
 
i deleted them.i know, bad move on my end, but i was at the point of giving up on the situation...i can post the incoming ones as i have written them back.

Are you sure they cannot be recovered?
 
it was from my yahoo...not entirely sure how to recover deleted emails, since they have been deleted longer than 24 hours
 
everything is gone.i delete alot of things because i dont like bulk...the only thing i have is the last message i sent to him/her:

i am requesting a status update.i need a payment of atleast 50 % of the 200 by friday.mailed on that day is fine.ample time has been given.pawn or sell something, at this point, i want my money.
 
What do you have misfit?I have other emails now, from him and his wife.was odd though, since the deal went sour he was all oc the sudden out of town so I had to talk to her.then one day after being mad and said I wanted him to write me, all of the sudden he got online.I'm at the point where I just have to count my loss on this one.don't know what else to do.hopefully he gets what he deserves
 
I am the one who msgd you on facebook. I am the "wife" that supposedly talked to you. and he will most likely be homeless very soon I promise you. I had no idea what he did until I found your BOI posting earlier today, and I am very very sorry for all that you have gone through with this. Believe me, I had absolutely no idea what was done. The retic that you sent is here in my home right now. If you could, would you mind sending me anything you have gotten from him regarding this so that I know exactly what he told you? I think maybe we should compare notes so to speak. I also believe that he has tried to sell her to someone else as well so that he could pay bills (which he doesn't so...) I have a feeling that the more I dig into his dealings on here, the more I'm going to find as he has 2 others here (a yellow-head was purchased by someone in ND and has NOT been shipped but I have been unable to find out who that is yet. I will back you 100% with this and do whatever I can to help you...just do me a favor? don't let him get away with this please? he's done this before and always skates by only for us (his family) to find out later and then try to clean up the mess. I have no funds whatsoever to send your snake back to you but will find a way to make this right somehow.
 
messages from jeremy.

these are some of the emails i have between us, over the months i have deleted NUMEROUS that i regret doing and wish i still had.it just seemed kind of odd when i wrote the wife and wanted to speak to him i got an immediate reply from him online.here are the emails....hopefully they show up properly...

well,we made the snake deal back in like january man.its almost the end of June.ive talked to your wife many times instead of you which I should be.we need to get this over with.im frustrated,I'm still out $80.00 on the whole thing.i need the money for the retic.i have been very very calm and nice,but shit man, this just isn't good business at all.i managed to get her shipped while I was deployed.not sure what the shipping issue was on your end, the veterinary thing or whatever, but nothing ever came of that or the owed money.i received a tiny bit for the amount of $100.00 and that's it.i paid almost a grand for her and selling/trading her for almost nothing.lets do whatever it takes and finish this.

this is all that i have as of now.sorry i deleted everything.all i know is that allegedly his grandmother died, he had alot of issues, wound up having to stay there for a long time to dispute an inheritance or something, that the wife would send me what money she could from babysitting and that jeremy hadnt got back yet.that the local laws in west virginia would not allow him to ship the two original snakes for the trade ( a 7 foot female columbia boa and an adult dumerils boa) due to them needing bloodwork and things of that nature and he couldnt afford it.then offered me some kind of central american boa( this coming from the "wife" as she didnt know what exactly it was or was worth and that she was trying to sell it and give me the money if i didnt want the snake----now how would that one get shipped due to the veterinary thing?hmmm?) and that he has others he is trying to sell and have people interested, yet no one is has bought any yet...well, this is it for now, sorry all the old emails are gone.
 
That's fine..you have done more than enough...this is all bullsh&T..NOONE died in NC and we dont live in West Virginia, we live in waynesboro, Virginia. He is full of sh&T and this is now not only fd up to you but as his fiancee for 12 yrs it's pretty fd up from my end too considering i had nothin to do with this. That smartphone he is emailing you from is HIS fn phone! He's been here the whole time fn us both over and it ends now. If you want to press charges for theft or fraud, I will back you 100%. Please do so. If you get anything back from him or "Poseidon", please keep it and send me a copy if you wouildnt mind.
 
Donna - did you read the PM I sent you, and follow through?
 
i sent him an invoice from paypal for the total amount originally asked for the snake,what he STILL owes me for shipping ( out of my pocket) plus i informed him from here on out i will be adding interest for the price of the snake( not amount including shipping) bi-weekly with every paypal request for payment i send him.i also informed him that if nothing happens that i will follow up with legal actions...here is the email below.

i have given you more than plenty of time to take care of this deal on your end, yet you have failed at this.i tried giving you a small deal since you were having problems, but now i want the full asking price that was originally stated plus i will be adding 15% interest bi-weekly until paid in full.right now you owe me a total amount of $480.00...original price for her was $400.00--shipping cost me $180.00 plus gas to and from ( from killeen to austin texas---an hour drive).i recieved a hundred dollars from you out of all this.i am still out of pocket $80.00 on the deal.i was kind enough to do my part, but i got nothing from you whatsoever but excuses and random reasons why you couldnt pay me.If you cannot pay me in a timely manner or respond properly, i will have no choice but to add on the interest and settle this in a legal manner.being military i do not pay anything for legal services, so it does not make a difference to me.on the 1st of the month your balance owed to me is a total of $540.00 unless paid before then.if you need to, take out a personal loan or get a pay advance or whatever needed to complete the transaction.


thank you,
joshua dickerson
