Dude. Your buisness is fraudulent and falsely advertises. You smear you'r own business.

Posted 12/19/2024.
=====================
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.

That's fine. I'm getting it back. I'm going to report your buisness to IC3.right now. Just note. It's against the law to false advertise.

But all you people read this. This is the shady behavior that Sean has. He also claims to be good buddies with Mike from outback reptiles. Even though mike has a good rep. I want ever do buisness with Outback again either because it's clear they have shady characters affiliated with their buisness.

You're the only shady character here Joseph.
You could refund and be done in a minute.
Please remember that the posts here are not only a response to your buyer, they might be taken by readers as representative of how you might handle other issues with possible future buyers. I think you can, and should, reevaluate how you are handling this issue.
Hold up, before we go too far down this rabbit hole- here is the extent of our involvement:
I got a voicemail from Joseph as well as a message from Sean letting me know that you were interested in something we had available... I didn't get a chance to respond before I found this thread and notified Sean.
That is the end of our involvement... please do not insinuate we have anything to do with either side of this, Joseph.
Thank you

To me, Joseph makes himself look more like the bad guy in this situation. You asked for him to sex the vipers, didnt wait for a response and sent payment. Then have acted like a complete primadonna this whole time about it. Sean, dont come off looking like the bad guy by dragging it out. Refund him and be done with him the sooner the better.

It's ok. Both of you have bad guy reports. His site does not say call first for availability. I'm getting my money back. As of now he's a their also because I should have had the refund. So my bank is going to get it and you guys keep sending evidence to me that you are contesting my timely refund for a product you advertise as available and don't have. It's more evidence that both of you are scammers and shady buisness people. And it gives my bank a good case also
Yes, the site should be updated. But unless you want sellers to start steering clear of you, why not calm down.
Both of you can just walk away from this, or either of you by continuing and escalating and calling names can be damaged by your own words. Seller, refund. Buyer, calm down. What's it gonna be?

Im calm. But I really don't like dishonest people. I breed very rare and expensive reptiles. I've had to refund people's money before and It was instant. This shows these guys character. But my bank will get it either way. It just looks worse on them.
Joseph, we never even spoke to each other. Please do not accuse me of anything.

Ummm. You didn't get my text and voice mails over this matter ????? But Sean says he's tight with you. He said to contact you about a trade to make it right and I did just that. Go back and read the emails the Sean sent with your name and replies. He posted it here. You jumped straight to his defense when he's wrong. He pulled toy into this so go defend him some more. I want him to resolve this

You not toy. Lol. Predictive text shining out there
I got a voice mail and did not get a chance to respond. Since your area code is Florida, I was checking up on Florida law regarding reticulated pythons before I contacted you back.
I have nothing to do with you and Sean's dealings other than Sean offering to come purchase something from me in an attempt to make you happy. I wish you the best of luck in resolving this but I have no part in it.

A little less than three days between the sending of payment and posting this BG BOI thread. This, with the buyer deciding to change his order, to something else, since the seller did not have what he wanted. Then, suddenly, buyer changes his mind and wants a refund. Since he did not get his refund, instantaneously, he posts this BG thread. Not giving the seller time to remedy this situation. On top of it all, he is making some accusations, about two separate businesses, without proof of his allegations.
Sure, Sean/Raging Reptiles
Sure, Sean/Raging Reptiles
Whups, did not mean to hit "send".
Continued... has erred in not having an updated website (&/or in not having the animals available) but the OP is, IMO, acting erratically, barreling down the tracks, making certain allegations without proof, and never gave the seller a chance before posting this BG thread. At the least, the OP is making himself look like he could be a nightmare customer.
Who knows, maybe I'll find the OP in the right but, for now, his behavior is really "off kilter".
'Course, the seller should refund the OP, now, without being vindictive by holding up the refund due to the OP's behavior. Otherwise, the seller will make himself look pretty bad (much worse than not having an updated website &/or not having the animals available).

BTW Sean, a friendly word of advice, never assume a person's location solely based on their area code. Sure, the area code could represent a person's location but there are also many people who have cell phones with a different area code than their actual location.

No. I changed my mind when seller sends me a text saying he will not cover shipping cost of a 175. $ python when he has 230 of my money. I would have let him keep the rest for his paypal fees. But he got crap with me and then I wanted my money back. So he shouldn't have a prob refundING it like he is.
