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

    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.

Opportunity news - Taiwan reptilia importer-exporter incoming letter

Argentine Taiwanese businessman electron newspaper 2010/12/07
Article origin: Argentine Taiwan Chamber of commerce
Opportunity news
Taiwan reptilia importer-exporter incoming letter

I am Baylis and Taiwan's citizen, and has lived in period of time in Central America. After returning to Taiwan, we are engaged in the reptilia import and export. Our company is the reptilia importer who Taiwan ranks among the best, but regarding cooperates with us the reptilia supplier, our also bulletin gives the excellent reward. Regarding various countries' reptilia (turtle class, batrachians, ophidia, sauria), we can under by the massive order form purchase. But regarding the South America this reptile source of goods supplies, I believed that nobody can have ability competence compared to you. Regarding this service, we may have two cooperation methods: (1) you may pursue these in yours country to breed the entrepreneur perhaps the exporter, the ingredient and by produce goods by way of you for us, this time your role is intermediary, but the profit part we may coordinate; (2) South America locality's indigenous, they do not understand these precious reptilias the value, therefore we may welcome grasp these reptilias by the inexpensive wages to them, but we hand over again the import perhaps the export, actually will obtain the quite big benefit.

Asks you not to use the worry animal care laws and regulations the question, because we need the species which you provide, 絕 to will not be the care class, but will conform to your country export and Taiwan import laws and regulations species, when will export, these species can through CITES (the international animal nurture method/Washington joint pledge) the document verification, will not create in your my two side laws the puzzle, this will ask you to feel relieved.

We regarding cooperate with you felt that has the confidence, and is relieved, hoped that can speak in detail with you.

This domain is only parked. Nothing even remotely legitimate or factual.

THAT is precisely why Clarence has made this legitimate inquiry.
And just who is WWPS in California?
 
Im sorry for creating such a stir on the post... I like I stated had recived an email based on my website well My website was never completly finished and it's still in the works of being created yet yes it is veiwable http://cp3pythons.webs.com/ here... I figured the BOI was and is the best tool to use when your considering dealing with someone I recived an email from another user ( I'll try and dig it up I may have deleted it via can only hold so many emails on here ) stating he did alot of business with the company I was inquiring about... Yes it may be a real company it may be scam... But Like I stated in my reply email is yet I can aquire the morphs and have some in my care that your looking for I personally don't feel 100% when entering into a deal in where I get paid then I ship the animals to a third party on the West Coast to have them shipped to you for several reason's
1. Check's can be forged... They are everyday and the wait is 7 days before I can collect cash from the check... ( Paypal Accounts can be forged as well and money transfered and wired back Ie depletion of your account )
2. Say the 3rd party individual didn't ship out or something went wrong blame can easly be pointed in anyway...
I wont enter into a deal unless I know 100% every party involved is covered.
I can easly obtain with a phone call the morphs and animal list I sent you... I however would be putting up a nice chunk of change to get them, have them shipped to the west coast where they would be shipped oversea's.
 
To Laura:

Check with Taiwan Government! Any question you may talk directly with Taiwn office, don't make any false statement, we can sue you for this, and if you don't know WWPS(wondeful world pets supplies), Iguess you haven't been in the reptile induastry that long either.

I work for WWPS (Wonderful World Pet Suppliers est. 1974) and yes Ann is NOT a scammer by any means. She is a very nice lady and a pleasure to do business with!!

Maybe Laura has not heard of us because we do not advertise - and do not generally deal with the public/retail; as our focus is wholesale export.

I am also the one that sent CP3 Python the private message.
 
Actually, I have heard of WWPS - but didn't make the connection until Ann spelled it out. And no, I don't purchse from wholesalers, so did not make the connection immediately.

That said, after way more digging I finally did locate old sparce company profiles of Ever Work Int. Co, LTD ... but with a different address, phone and contact name.

The "cbtaiwan . com" website is parked only, not active. I presume Cold Blood Taiwan is also a company name?

May I ask if there is a connection between Ever Work, Cold Blood Taiwan and Alan Wei?

And Ann, if you would like to sue me ... feel free. Not sure what you would sue me for, I only reported what initial searches of the information you provided to Clarence yielded.
 
Ann, this is what the Boi is for, no need to get so defensive.
 
I didn't CALL you a scammer. Just saying I have gotten letters that sound like that and they have turned out to be a scammer.
Sorry if it's not true. I was just sharing my experience with letters that read like yours. No offense :)
 
Again, I meant no disrespect with my observations of e-mails I have gotten.


Glad she is a respectable person.
 
I also delete any messages like the one sent, but then again I don't wholesale much.:)

Ann Liu -The Real Deal

I can vouch for Ann. She is the real deal. When I first spoke with her over a year ago, I have to admit I was hesitant at first. Maybe is was the fact that she wanted so many animals exported and the related sizable proceeds at stake and (admittedly) the fact she is a young lady.

After several conversations by phone and email my hesitation subsided. However, by that point, I did not have anything available to export until late 2011/early 2012. She then contacted one of my best friends and contracted to acquire 10 lizards for almost $10K. The deal went very smoothly and Ann delivered as promised. I look forward to working with her later this year as does my friend when we have more offspring available.

Regards,
John Heidecker
 
Thank you, John, Kevin and Ivan.

You are nice guys to deal with, and please feel free to send us your pricelists.

And to those who don't know much about international business and post irresponsible statement, please be careful about what you say.
 
Um the statements about e-mails that sound like nigerian scam letters are not irresponsible statements. They are simply a way of protecting each other. Have you ever received an e-mail that there appears to be something not quite right about? Maybe the wording is making you feel like it's not a real person-or it just reads weird to you? Alot of us have had those before. I don't speak for everyone but I, myself am careful when I see an e-mail that appears to be the same style as a nigerian scam letter. International business has nothing to do with it.


I am glad you are an honest person. There are so few of those out there any more. :) We need more of the honest people like you and most members here.
 
Not a problem.

Nice to know you guys, too.

We will be careful about the nigerian suppliers, and if we smell anything fishy, we will soon report it here for everyone's informaiton.

Thanks again
 
Ann, may I ask if there is a connection between Ever Work, Cold Blood Taiwan and Alan Wei?
 
Sorry, but I don't know the Alan Wei you are talking about.

Also regarding our website, it's just under constrcution so that we have to close it down for a while.
