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

    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.

Bad Guy Beware of Ashtyn RANCE !!!

I personally think Nick is just playing both sides of the fence and stealing everyones money because there was never a third shipment and I paid for the freight twice which Ashtyn did reimburse me his half of freight after Nick screwed me as well. Then Nick came to me and said he shipped Ashtyn and never he paid him. But I know this is a lie and Nick never produced an AWB. Nick also owes another large dealer here on my coast thousands of dollars but Im sure he doesnt want his name drug into this as well. Take my advice and write it all off. 1k isnt sh!t in the import business. You better have deep pockets and thick skin to last in it. Just my opinion! To date Ashtyn has kept his word on every deal he has made with me and I extend him credit all the time and he always pays, Hope you guys can get it straightened out.

And of course you have documentation to back ALL of your claims up....
If not, well anybody can say anything and it means exactly nothing......

Proof or it didnt happen bro. But im sure you know that.
 
Please disregard my last post about Ashtyn agreeing to pay. Ashtyn believes he has already paid for both the June and July shipments in full. I have seen proof of $1,300 made June 15, which Ashtyn has told me was an advanced payment for the July estimated cost (even though it was paid the day he received the June shipment). He says there is another $1,100 out there that was for the June shipment, and I've asked to see that. He has let me know it may take some time, as there have been thousands of transactions since then.

At this point, all parties seem to be in agreement that there never were any uromastyx in the shipment. This was likely a lie told by the importer.

Noelle
 
With all due respect, Noelle, please provide that proof of that June 15th payment (for the July shipment) that Ashtyn made, since you have seen same.

Seeing as how Ashtyn has not been banned here, why isn't he here defending himself with said proof? Why exactly are you speaking for him?
 
I was wondering the same thing, not to be rude but why is there a 3rd party that wasn't involved in any of the transactions speaking for the involved parties? I know Facebook groups have different rules but here on fauna the proof must be posted, someone saying they saw it doesn't fly here and if the op or Ashtyn has proof or wants to defend themselves they should be the ones doing that.
 
I'm not speaking on behalf of any of them, and I understand the rules. I'm just stating what I've seen, as I am dealing with this on a different forum. Here is the $1,300:

1.jpg

I'm not taking any sides, just thought I could add to the discussion, as I've been in contact with both parties. My apologies. I should not be sharing third party info, and will no longer do so.
 
Thanks for your assistance Noelle, I have the proof to present everyone and I am more than happy to do so. Most of it has been posted before. It seems to me that Ashtyn just keeps claiming one lie after another, the crap he keeps claiming doesn’t make any sense at all. Here are the facts. I have provided my Paypal transactions with Rance. I received $1300 and $62 from him on June 22. Match that up with the text conversation on June 22nd.. Rance states “I sent you $1300 remember what the balance was” I reply “$1361.63” If he paid in “advance” as he claims, what is this money for and why does it match up exactly with the freight charge for Air France?? (see other text where I state “Freight is $1361.63 for air France”) Now look at the other text where I told him Air France does not take credit card and that “I’ll have to cover it and you can pay me” Rance replies “Just send me a receipt and I will put the money in your account. Paypal you however you need your money back immediately” Why would this conversation even occur if it was “PRE-PAID” as Rance claims.

if you go back and look at the paypal again, you will see Rance sent me $400 on July 19 (which ironically, Rance cant even provide this) . Go look at the corresponding text. On July 19 Rance texts me saying “I’m going to send you a portion of your money I don’t have all of it right now” and follows up with “just sent 400”. Again if this is all prepaid as Rance falsely claims what is he paying me for and why is he agreeing he owes me money??? If you look at my last posting with the Airwaybills for the shipment in question, the freight and $45 service charge come out to $1462.72. Deduct the $400 that Rance paid me on July 19 and you get $1062.72, the amount I am claiming in this dispute. Finally. Look at the last text dated August 2, I remind Rance of the $1062.72 still owed. If he had pre-paid why would he agree and state “yeah man I have not forgot about you bro” ??? I think if we were all paid up the reply would have been more like “$1062.72? for what???

His lies are pathetic and he has no proof to support anything he says.

I’d also like to challenge another claim Rance made about “importing thousands weekly” and knowing all about the import process. Let us see a copy of your FWS import/ export License. You cant import without one bro.

Terry has asked that I share all of the information he gave me. I know they are not easy to see, so if there are questions as to what you're seeing, just let me know and I'll do my best. What you will see here is the paperwork for the July shipment. You will see that the shipping costs for JULY were $1,462. You can see from Terry's previous posts that Ashtyn paid roughly $400 of this, and texted in JULY that he realizes he owes the rest (those texts are already posted). Ashtyn then says he refused to pay the balance because the importer told him he threw in 100 uros, and Terry stole them. You can see below that the uros were not on the invoice. Yes, the shipper seems a bit sketchy and the invoice is handwritten, but it is what it is. Terry, in my opinion, would not have been able to get CITES clearance on 100 animals that he didn't know were in the shipment. Again, the shipping costs line up to the penny with what Ashtyn agreed he owed.

Now, Terry posted above that Ashtyn paid him $1,300 in JUNE. Ashtyn now says that, due to so many transactions going in and out, the 1,300 paid in June was an estimated amount paid weeks in advance for the JULY shipment, and he must have forgotten about it when he agreed to pay the 1,462. (I will work on getting those screenshots in the next post). Terry says, and shows above, that the $1,300 was for the June shipment. So, I asked Ashtyn to show me the proof of the June payment (since he says the 1,300 was for July) and that is what I am waiting for.
 
Ashtyn's agreement that there were not likely any uros :

Ashtyn Rance: Those documents prove to me that the uromastyx probably did not come in on the shipment and the exporter lie to me luckily I went back on my bank account and realized I already paid him for the s*** and if he's going to say we had a shipment back to back that's absolutely not true because it takes a little bit longer to pull citis permits

Meredith Grace Johnson I have two enigmas from them, which are already sometimes iffy to purchase since you don't know how they'll turn out, and often symptoms happen independently of the breeder. Both are super healthy animals and I had a great experience with both purchases! The Howards are A+++ people!

I had a lovely experience once again purchasing babies from Brian Butler of Altitude Exotics. Smooth delivery and beautiful animals! I've never had an animal come in that has been misrepresented in pictures or unhealthy! I am absolutely in love with the little tricolor I got from him! And the red harlequin is so pretty!! Highly recommend purchasing with him!
I also got three lovely animals from Myles O'Reilly of Crestie King this week! He threw in a surprise baby as well that...

Wow, so sorry, the screenshot included like 12 different threads. Didn't mean to do that.. OOPS!
 
The comment on May22 5:44 pm is where Ashtyn is trying to explain that payments are made weeks in advance, and must have forgotten he paid.

So, we are left with needing to see the proof that Ashtyn made a different payment for June.
 
To all on Facebook and Fauna BOI, I agree with you, it is amazing that this whole thing continues to drag out when Ashtyn does nothing but lie, change his story and show his street punk attitude. The amazing thing is the ONLY piece of documentation he has ever provided is a Paypal screen shot, which shows two payments which I agree he made for a different shipment, an Itunes payment and Paypal debit card payment. We have not seen any emails, airwaybills, texts , payments, etc to back his statements.
I posted a claim that Ashtyn ripped me off $1063 for the shipment of some animals and I provided documentation for EVERYTHING. It’s all true and the government, Air France and Delta will also have the exact same documents. Why doesn’t Ashytn have any documents to support his claims?? Because they are all lies.

First Ashtyn requests all documents (Ashytn's FB Quotes are all in red below)

Ashtyn Rance .following please show proof of all ahippmemts with proof of agreememt of paymemt

I provide the documents, then he admits there is a balance due but accuses me for stealing a box of animals ( and if this was the case, why didn’t Ashytn post about the shipper or myself doing such things)

Ashtyn Rance Thays why he didnt reciave the balance. The exporter told me that terry took a box of reptiles so i didnt pay the rest due to that. Terry was also ripped off my nick in togo for 2k which je will mevr get but lools like hes tryma get part of it back from me

Ashtyn Rance Congratulations you're very right it was the exporter himself so that's not true just show me the paperwork and this could all be resolved very quickly

Ashtyn Rance Which is why I said in multiple posts that everyone's too stupid to read show me the final invoice the personal invoice that the exporter send the invoice the exporter sent to the airport and the air waybill I've never received any of that so why the f*** would I pay somebody money as soon as I see all three documents then he can send over the money that I've already paid him and show me what my balance is I have no problem paying what I've said multiple times but welcome to the comedy show everybody

I provide proof that everything was sent, I figured Ashytn would man up and pay (see above) but instead, he gets belligerent, real professional there

Ashtyn Rance I don't give a s*** this whole thing is b******* your b******* Terry's b******* all this b******* proof b******* duplicate documents and b******* he say she say shut the f****** and go do something with yourself

Then he changes his story and accuses me of mixing up the shipments… yet he has no proof or documentation to support this claim.

Ashtyn Rance Those are two entirely different shipments he is mixing up paperwork now
Like • May 2 at 2:24pm


He finally admits there were no euromastyx in the shipment, You would think that once he realizes that I didnt steal a crate as he claimed that he would make due on his debt, think again, he comes up with another story. He still refuses to pay, now claiming that he paid me in advance, which again, does not fit with the texts conversations or document I provided and he has no documentation to prove such payments.

Ashtyn Rance Those documents prove to me that the uromastyx probably did not come in on the shipment and the exporter lie to me luckily I went back on my bank account and realized I already paid him for the s*** and if he's going to say we had a shipment back to back that's absolutely not true because it takes a little bit longer to pull citis permits

Ashtyn claims he imports every single week… another lie. This can easily be proven as he would need an FWS import export license. Let us see the license…

Ashtyn Rance Because I import every single week and I know how that goes I'm sure he's not showing you the paperwork for 1100 I paid for shipping to is he

Finally, it again looks like he may man up, admit his mistake and pay, guess not. Once again, lying in front of a whole forum of people.

Ashtyn Rance Have so much money going in and out I don't even realize what I pay for things but hey do proof is there that's all that matters if I have to see the charges that resend it again to make him happy I guess I will sorry for my mistake and forgot that I paid the money in happen sometimes

And for those of you who ask why this isn’t in court. I looked into it.
First I would have to pay $75-$100 to file the case. This would be in California, do you think Ashytn would really pay $500+/- for a flight out to fight a case he knows he can not win? I would win as I have all the evidence supporting my claim and/ or by default because he wouldn’t show. Then I have a judgment against him, great, now what? The courts can’t enforce payment and I doubt Ashytn owns anything of value to put a lien on. Plus do you really think a judgment would mean anything to Ashytn, he’s spent time in prison, so what’s a stupid little judgment for $1000??? (seriously?, battery on a child – bodily fluids- I don’t know what it is but that just sounds gross)

(http://mugshots.com/US-Counties/Florida/Palm-Beach-County-FL/Ashtyn-M-Rance.2171039.html)

So court would actually be a waste of time and money and notifying the police would be useless as they would consider it a civil matter, a breach of contract.
I could of walked away as well, but i'm not one to remain silent and let someone try to screw me. Which is why I brought this to social media.

If Ashytn wants to pay and make good on his debt, great but do I expect it...lol, not from what I have seen.

After all this, I can sleep well at night knowing I never screwed anyone and knowing that the world is now aware of what a shady, crooked unprofessional liar Ashytn Rance is and if I prevent someone else from getting ripped of as I did, its all worth it.
 
So he did 2 years in prison for child abuse? Wow. That ALONE would make me want nothing to do with him, not to mention how he's ripped you off. Very frustrating for you; sorry you got screwed over when you were trying to help him originally with the shipping. Glad you posted it so the community is aware.
 
Terry (and Noelle), I appreciate you two attaching the various images and providing what images and text could be furnished. Without that, things would be kind of lean.
 
This man belongs in prison. Not the reptile business. Anyone who still does any sort of business with him after reading this thread is insane. Whether he pays up or not, his reputation is beyond trashed (if he even had one to begin with)
