I did a little googling and it looks like I'm not the first person who's had problems with the guy who sold me this "enchi". For the record, it was Jon Levey of Jon's Jungle.

Maybe it was just an honest mistake, but now that I know his track record I kinda doubt it. Wish I'd googled him before I bought. I'm not sure what to do now, aside from forgetting about the snakes I wrote this post about. If I can't even tell a pastel from an enchi then I have no business making deals with random strangers over the internet.

I'm going to email him about this, though I don't expect much of a response at this point.

Thanks guys. Without your help I wouldn't have known, at least not until it was too late to do anything. The transaction was recent enough that I might be able to get my money back. If he doesn't want to work with me then maybe paypal will.
