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

    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 will have a tracking # for you tomorrow.

Thanks again!

Subject:
You've got money!
Note:
I am refunding 28.00 dollars due to me not being able to ship on time. I promise I will ship tomorrow, sorry for the delay, but you basically just paid for shipping and got the kingsnakes for free

so at this point I still looking forward to getting both snakes as stated on my paypal account
then when I recieved package it only had 1 snake in it. I tried to email him and asked him where is my other snake it took him a day and 1/2 to respond
then told me this:

I did not get your email until now. I refunded you $28 dollars back because my wife had changed her mind and wanted to keep the High White Cali King and for not being able to ship on the day I said I would. I emailed you explaining this before I shipped and you emailed back saying you still wanted the snake.
which is a bold face lie he never told me that as you can see from my paypal statement I told him If I knew that don't you think i would have cancled the whole deal
Then to day he sent a pm to my fanna now claiming it was his daughter that decied to keep it.

And I pmed him back saying ok now its your daughter snake not your wife
sounds someone can't keep his lie straight
And yes I should be happy I got the 28 dollars but the point is I was lied to told I was recieving both snake but only to get one followed with A bunch of lies
 
If I was such a bad person then why would I have refunded you half your money back? You got a mexican black kingsnake for $32 shipped to your door, ONE HELL OF A DEAL. Yes you paid $60 for a mexican black kingsnake and high white cali kingsnake. I sent you an email that you say you did not receive stating that my daughter decided she wanted to keep her High White Cali King and asking if you still wanted to Mexican Black. I also stated I would refund you $28, 1) Because you were only purchasing the Mexican Black King and 2) Because I did not ship on thursday like I said I would, due to getting home late from work and the UPS office was closed.

Evidentally Paypal did not see anything wrong with our transaction or they would not have closed the dispute.

If your going to post any emails then make sure you post both parties. I want the whole forum to see how inappropriately you have handled this matter.

Also I have offered to refund your full payment if you are willing to ship the snake back, but you know you got one hell of a deal so you are not willing to do that.
 
And why should fork out money to ship you back a snake for a refund when you made a mistake not me and by the the way paypal didn't judge in anybody favor There was no buyer protection on the deal so I was just out of luck as they put it to me if there was buyer protection I very sure I would have got my money back I have delt enough with people over paypal to tell you that

Also the High White Cali King we have decided to keep, it is actually my daughters and she wants to keep it. If you still want the Mexican Black Kingsnake let me know and I will issue a refund for the High White, if not I understand.

That was the next email I received after sending one to you explaining that I was keeping the High White. So I took that as you still wanted the Mexican Black. Like I said we got our wires crossed and there was a misunderstanding.
 
Ok well I am done arguing about who is wrong and who is right. Im sick and tired of being called a lier when I have the emails as proof that this was a misunderstanding on both parties.

What would you like to do?

Ship the snake back and receive a refund or keep the snake and squash this matter?

I would not have issued you any refund if I was trying to screw you over. I issued a refund in half the amount as I thought was most fair for both of us.
 
Or option# 3 send me the snake you promise me I have proof on my end to the only pm you sent me about a refund was

As you can see I under line the word them
 
maybe Someone offered you more money so you sold it out from under me a Far as I know You just tring to cover your tracks from what i see.
 
I cant help that you did not receive the email. How do I know you didnt delete it by accident?

Its my daughters snake and my wife and I have already told her that she can keep it. I will not break my word over someone saying they did not receive an email.
 
Becase My wife Is my witness see has seen every email every fannu pm and every transaction from paypal and she can tell you that no such pm no such email ever crossed this computer but the matter of the fact is I was told I was gettings two snakes and and was expecting two snakes to only get one snake bad business on your end not mine I quess I was just scamed,. lied to, or never sent this suposed pm or email either way you have this lie to live not me
i just wanted people to know what type of person you truly are
 
I am sorry that you did not receive the email. I know it said "message sent" when I clicked send.

I can understand your being upset if you really did not receive the email. But I dont know what else I can do to prove to you that I am not and was not trying to screw you. I even refunded you in whole the first time I was not able to ship on the date I told you I would. I tried to make this transaction as easy and worry free for both of us. You did not lose any money in the transaction, as I refunded you for the cost of the High White.

I could not help that you did not receive the email. It was a misunderstanding and thats all. But I cant take the snake away from my daughter after promising her that she can keep it and talking my wife into agreeing.

I think this matter has been handled as fair as possible. Nobody is at a loss of money or goods.
 
There is a loss, a loss of a snake I was verbial contracted to recieve. bottom line on that. By the way research what a verbial contract is.
