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

    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.

Any one know a number for e bay, i got dubai roaches and superworms from e bay and they both arrived dead (frozen i guess) any way contacted sellers and basicly got blown off by both sellers, it says that e bay guarantees them as the seller dont so who do i call. The 2 companies basicly called me a liar and i heard no more from them, in a couple days i will post both company names as they were so nice tilll i got bad product and the one i ordered before, any way have a great day, poppabill [email protected] 585-672-5516...
 
Go to My Ebay (upper right hand side of your page), click on it and then go to your Purchase History. on the right hand side for this purchase you will see and click on a drop down menu that says 'more actions' and then click on 'resolve a problem'. From there, start a 'not as described' case. Do this now, you only have a limited time to open a case.

If you post names do it in the BOI section, not here. If you have general questions about opening a case ask them here.

I COULDENT GET ANY SATISFaction on e bay or the place i bought the dubai roaches or the super worms so i figure ill just eat the 65.00 total on these 2 places and wont buy from them again.

i see on e bay 2500 dubais for 125.00 shipped but not sure about e bay any more...
 
Why did Ebay deny your case? Or did they? Can you say more about what steps you took and their response?

i sent 3 e mails and 1 phone call and got no results. So i just wrote it off as i dident want any more stress, poppabill..
 
Try the steps I took time to outline for you and start a not-as-described case.
Ebay/Paypal can help but you have to use their methods. If it takes you two minutes to start the case and you win, that's $65 for 2 minutes' work. I don't know what that works out to per hour, but definitely a worthwhile expenditure of time.
Also if you paid by credit card you can call your credit card company.
 
did that and still nada, a few folks ask the names of the companys and i waited but now i dont want any one getting ripped by these guys.
Kritters for christ where i bought the dubais. i bought 1000 dubai roaches and they said send pice and we did, never got any farther with the company.

Rainbow mealworms we got 1000 superworms and all dead on arrival, e mailed them they said wait 2 hrs they will come back to life, both companies are good but not to me, any way just an FYI folks asked for, we got 1000 roaches from them before and no problem.
Yes it was cold and such but to just blow me off. it hurts poppabill...
 
Bassett if you can edit, edit out those names now please. You can name them by initiating a thread in the BOI.
Also instead of 'nada' please tell the particulars of why they denied your case.
