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

    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.
  • Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

This is why the never ending questions. I'm sorry if cant answer them all, a lot stuff goes unreported b/c it's just easier to suck it up and move forward. At this point I'm going to just move forward.

If the OP states he received no pics, but the seller states he sent them, an easy fix would be for the seller to post screen shots showing the pics were sent.

That's because he is lying. Who pays $350 for an underpriced dragon but doesn't need to see pictures and then reports it months later. The seller may be acting like a fool, but I have seen too much to not miss this. Moving forward? More like avoiding the questions.

You seem to think that your $25 membership fee, and those silver coins, make you something special. They don't. At best, to the casual observer, they may lend you a certain degree of credibility. Unfortunately, you've chosen to quickly piss that away by your posts in this thread.

..believe me there arte MANY scammers on here..

Yeah. I'm thinking you may be the newest +1 to that list. You're certainly playing the role very well.

Where are the emails Raliegh? You were able to retrieve the ones that were in your favor months afterwards. I'm good at two things, one being pointing out liars.

Quite acting like a fool. It's obvious to some what's going on and you are going to destroy any attempt at redemption. You need to dig through your emails and change your attitude.

If you are talking about my comment about half toes and stubs, that has nothing to do with whether he saw pictures - I just want to know what counts.

You aren't suspended, or you wouldn't have been able to make that post...nor did I say anything about suspending you in the infraction notice you received.

Now, your infraction has no relevance in this thread.
Your contribution to this site has no relevance in this thread.
Ed's prices have no relevance in this thread.
Add those three things together, and your last post was pretty darn off topic & disruptive. Try to pull yourself together and deal with this like a professional.

What happens when they've both decided to take their ball and go home?

Status quo. Of course, that would greatly benefit the buyer and not the seller. The buyer, however, is withholding information. If the seller will pull his head out of his bum, to at least sustain his story, he would at least prove himself to be reasonable. I think he may be fine with this accusations and that's on him. We can only lead them to water :)

Where are the emails and correspondence prior to the animal being received? You both should be able to produce them. Right now, it's smelling a little funny on both sides.

Also, why did you wait so long to post this?

I just wanted to note the seller has refused to answer these questions which could greatly change the outcome of this thread.

This isn't the first time he has lacked integrity, unless you consider waivers for friends.
 
The photos look like they were taken in a way that either intentionally or unintentionally makes it hard to notice the missing toes on the rear foot. I wouldnt have noticed.

without seeing pictures
Click to expand...

Why all the talk? Can't you just show the 'sent' email (which will have the date it was sent) with the picture attachment?
 
For the record, on shipping, the last snake I sent that weighed HALF the weight of the shipment mentioned, cost me over $60.
 
Ed Clark said:
Kaiden, he should have offered a full refund including all shipping costs.

He sent a dragon missing 7 toes, is that what you would do?
Click to expand...

Ed, this thread is not about what I would do. Feel free to look up my BOI thread, I'm sure others here have seen yours.

Let's stay on track.
 
Raleigh, you were just viewing. If you were able to retrieve emails from two months ago, why can't you get the ones just days prior? I'm right, aren't I?
