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

    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.

I finally received the long awaited confirmation from PayPal on the “Charge Back” case danny placed against me and the case was found in my favor. I was told that his credit card holder dropped the case once they were presented with the pile of evidence that I provided showing exactly who was commiting fraud. Danny has not only screwed himself with his credit card company but I imagine that PayPal is not a fan of his since time and money was wasted on his behalf for the fraudulent Fraud case he put in play. This will also have a negative effect on what ever credit score he has at this time. All I can say is that I hope he got everything he wanted out of this deal because it will have negative effects for years to come.
You can see the entire story from a few months on this forum named
Danny Cueva, budding young scam artist

Here is the confirmation from PayPal

CASED CLOSED AND RESOLVED

I have a few comments for those who came to the young scam artists defense stating that he is such an upstanding and honest guy, just because you are friends on FaceBook, does not mean you really know these people at all and bring this crooks actions to light may enlighten some to not jump to someones defense that you don’t really know a thing about.
Secondly, for those so called experts that claimed that the pictures that danny provided showed male hemipenes when in fact those are female scent glands, well all I can say is that I would never do business with any of you. In order for the sperm to be ejected into the female, there needs to be openings for the sperm to flow and those pics showed zero openings in order for that to happen.

I also want to thank those who understood what they were reading and saw that the only fraud happened when danny sent back the empty box, Oh, and by the way, he really showed what he was all about because I never mentioned that he had placed several pieces of crap in the box which I am sure was some demented message telling me that he was the man in this deal and that he could get away with anything he wanted to. Maybe with some people but not with me.

Danny infact is a budding young scam artist and I am sure his antics are not over so beware of this guy, he is not honest by any stretch of the imagination.

CASE CLOSED

Can you please provide this in writing? And an alleged dropping of a case is not the same as a judgment of fraud. Considering how light the original thread was on evidence, I think there needs to be evidence supporting the information you have posted here.
I would request the same if it had been the other party posting.
 
You can show evidence to PayPal/Credit card companies, then you can show it here. You provided zero proof in the other thread, time to pony up!

Danny Cueva was on the site yesterday, and has not responded. Doug has not responded further.
There seems to be very little solid evidence posted by either of them both in the original thread and this updated thread, because the Paypal info, not being a screen shot, could simply have been made up.
And as I pointed out earlier, a decision by Paypal can go one way or another for many reasons and is not a finding that one party has been guilty of fraud.
Considering that both parties have their real names on these posts and have done little to substantiate their claims, I'm wondering if the entire issue is a fiction, and the threads a childish attempt at a BOI prank?
 
Doug give it up man. This is ridiculous. You're claiming Danny put feces in a box and mailed it back to you? Where are the pics? Where are screen grabs of the paypal dispute emails?
 
When you say Danny was found guilty of fraud, can you provide some proof? Paypal finding in your favor doesn't necessarily mean Danny is found guilty of fraud. It just means they don't find he's provided sufficient proof to return his funds. Just as if they had of returned his funds, it wouldn't necessarily have meant you were guilty of fraud either. They made a judgement based on the proof provided. If they did in fact deem it as fraud, that would definitely help support your statements. Can you provide a screenshot of where Paypal has made such a statement?
 
Honestly, from reading this and prior BOI threads, you sound like Tom Crutchfield, only that you don't have as much to offer the hobby. I would say that people earn the right to be arrogant, and you, haven't. If you want to stay in this business, please, take it down a notch with your potential buyers. You and Danny both held substantial information from the thread, but at least Danny had SOME information. You told us a story. He showed us something.
