lauren taylor of bpdesign bad guy review

http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=510671

Do you have actual experience with this person or are you just cross posting links from another forum?

this is my post on fauna.

That link gives no details of your transaction, people who do not have an account on faunaclassifieds can not see any of the screen shots.

Please properly post here instead of linking a "complain" post on your first post on this site.
That BOI reads like WoW.........
As already stated, those that don't have a fauna account cant read it.

lauren taylor of bpdesign is a crook and liar. I got took for nearly 2400 bucks for two snakes. she won't return my calls or emails nor send my snakes (probably Bc she doesn't have them anymore) or give me a refund.

after we spoke on the phone, apparently the male pastel enchi got sick and she asked if she could replace him with something else she had.

but yet she is still trying to sell her snakes.

Thank you for reposting all of that. It makes much more sense now.

The problem I see right away from the first screen shot is sending the money as a gift option. yes Paypal chages the seller a small percentage fee, but it is to protect the buyer for exactly the situation you are in. Now I am fortunate that no one I have purchased from has ever asked me to send the money as a gift, but if anyone ever did it would raise a red flag. Respectable sellers know that great customer service is just as important and sometimes more important than the value of the animal weather its $1000 animal or a $20 animal. Some times things go wrong, and the buyer protection is there to protect you as the buyer.

Agreed - it is also against Paypal rules to ask someone to do that when making a purchase. Respectable breeders will calculate those fees in the price they charge for the animal. Say I know that I'll be hit for $20 for something I want to sell for $200. I'd price the animal at $225 to cover those fees. Of course, that's an extreme example of a fee, but you get what I mean. :)

If I heard correctly I believe that paypals fees are about 3%? Isn't that pretty much in line with what credit cards have been charging forever? I recently declined a purchase because the seller wanted me to send the money as a gift. I also can't stand it when people post one price and then ask for more when asked if they accept paypal, that's also against paypals TOS. It just isn't worth it to me to do business with people like that.

My paypal account has been a merchant account for around 10 years when I used to sell stuff on ebay often. Its been some time since I've sold through Paypal but at most its 5%

They vary based on the plan and volume. Low-volume sellers, which includes just about everyone in the herp hobby, will pay 3-4% if charged per swipe, otherwise there's usually a monthly nut and the transaction fee is 2-3%. A high-volume seller (*cough* WalMart *cough*) pays about 1%.

Oh... and add 2% if you want to accept AmEx.

The gift option aside, the OP sent the last payment back in May and it's now December. So I don't think PP would accept a chargeback anyway due to the timeframe.
