I haven't had any dealings with them but I also only use Facebook and fauna with no regular website, just seems easier. Some people on fauna dont like to start a new thread and will just comment on an existing one, happens a lot.
Also, some sellers dont use paypal because some buyers (not saying you) will get the snake then report a problem and get their money returned, keeping snake and cash. Unfortunately some bad apples can ruin it for good people.
Good luck to you, hope it all works out.
