Negative Feedback For addicted2fish

[morningman]

I hate to do this....but here goes. I posted on the Barter forum looking to trade a mature male bristlenose for a mature female bristlenose. Starla (addicted2fish) answered my post and said she would be willing to complete the trade. I shipped a large, beautiful male ABN a few days later. She e-mailed me and said that he was doing great in her tank. She said she would ship the female to me in a few days. It didn't happen. Then she apologized (stating dental problems) and promised to ship a couple of days later. One excuse has led to another (family problems, etc) and now about one month later she no longer responds to my PM's. I think I have been very patient and now have reached the end of my rope. I guess I've been had. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else, and that is why I am posting this negative feedback for her.

Sorry to hear about this... I hope it is just a misunderstanding. Doesn't sound like it but I doubt she was trying to steal a fish from you. What were the terms of the deal? You ship first and then her?

I was burned once too, although in my case not only did I not get the items I was supposed to get, I was out a good chunk of money. I'm sorry this happened to you!

By addicted2fish?

[newfound77951]

No. I don't remember the member's name, it was a couple of years ago.

Addicted to fish sent me the guppies I paid for.
My transaction was perfect.

Maybe she really is having some problems.
Or something may have happened.

Yeah, what does that mean?

Something along the lines of "you were had, morning man" I think. It took me a couple of reads to figure it out.

Hopefully there is a real reason behind addicted2fish's lack of response and we will hear from her soon.

She has received a lot of good feedback and I have dealt with her before as well. My guess is she really does have something going on and hopefully she will remedy your situation when she is able. But I understand your frustration.

yup...exactly.. it sux but i think maybe either she doesnt have any female bristlenose to give him or she put you on the back burner indefinately.... hence the she doesnt return pm's....

How did you ship it? USPS I hope, that is mail fraud.

[Fishyfanatic]

What is mail fraud?

[cogburn]

fraud involving the mail

[CaptainAhab]

even worse if it's inter-state (across state lines). Though I doubt this rises to the level to get anyones attention

[Fishyfanatic]

I know that mail fraud involves the mail, that is a given. I was asking what would be constituted as mail fraud. I looked it up and found the correct answer.

[cogburn]

sorry sometimes... well... all the time im a smart @$$ dont hate me...

[kangster]

if you lived in NYC i would have gladly bought you a ABN pleco as i saw like 30 of them in a LFS this monday @ $11.00
but then...they looked not mature enough to breed...not even big enough to sex yet...although some of them had a slightly bigger bristles
the sooner you forget about this ordeal...the sooner you will be relieved
and maybe she is really going through a lot and will get back to you soon

ya... everything is in good fun, just move on if there were any honest intentions involved maybe one day soon you'll get a surprise..
