How should this work?

I agree with everyone else.

If he's not willing to pay the fees, then he's too shady to do business with. I'd start looking for another one of the same animal. Surely there is another out there from a breeder who is not quite so shady.

The only thing is I've been looking pretty hard for one of these girls because I want to work with the spotnose gene, and I couldn't find another one het for pied anywhere.

I agree it is not in PP TOS and he should not ask for the fees. I laugh when I see ads that state to add 3% Paypal fees to price and move on to the next ad. Whats next? Paying .55 cents per mile for the seller to drop the package off at the Fedex hub.

Now if you really want it and he really wants to sell it I am sure he could wave the Paypal fees. How much can a Spotnose het pied go for? It's not like its a 10k snake.

It all comes down to how bad you really want the snake.

That's true, she's not a high dollar snake, but the combination of the two genes was something I really wanted... The ad didn't say anything about me paying the fees. It's kinda annoying, but I'm willing to pay them if it means I get her. It sucks...maybe I'll run across another?

I did speak with him on the phone, and he does seem to be legit. I'll keep y'all updated on how it goes.

Also, I did a search on BOI and found nothing, good or bad.
