Hatching Eggs / Paypal CHAT Thread

Quote: Madam have you tried ginger ale? I use that when we have the stomach flu...seems to help.

Here you are. MY MIXED TURKEYS! They are soooo cute.



Any guesses as to what breeds they may look like?

One piped but died in the shell, so five it is.

Flocks if those are from me, the flock consists of 2 Bronze toms, 1 royal tom, 3 bronze hens, one royal hen (died after I sent those eggs) and a Narrie hen...so there is really no telling what you got! lol!
ETA: the chances of you having a couple pure bronzes are very good....and her bronze toms are gorgeous and huge!

oh! and five out of eight aint bad at all for shipped eggs!

Now that I know who the seller is that sold the Chocolate Bantam Orpingtons to Michelle I will tell everyone what happened to me with the same seller. I purchase pre-sale Cream Legbar eggs through Ebay. When one hen started laying, the seller contacted the people who purchased the pre-sale eggs and said he was ready to ship. He stated that only one hen was laying, the eggs were pullet sized, and he had not confirmed fertility. I told him based on the information I would prefer to wait until more hens were laying and fertility had been confirmed. He replied that would be fine but I would be put out another 8 weeks or so. I received an email which I guess all the pre-sale people got shortly thereafter offering a great deal where he would hatch the eggs for an additional sum and express shipping charges and everyone would get a trio that wished to convert and pay the additional cost. I felt the charges were overstated so declined the offer and said I would wait for eggs. When the eight weeks had passed, I contacted him and asked where he was with my eggs. He replied back it just happened that he could ship right away but he felt I should upgrade to express shipping which once again was overstated in price. I declined and said mail them priority since I generally get shipments from Texas in two days.

I received confirmation that the eggs were accepted at his local post office and eight days later the eggs had not moved. I emailed him and of course he said well priority mail is not guaranteed but if I would have upgraded to express then it would have been. I emailed back saying I was going to open a search with the post office and shortly thereafter got another email from him saying the eggs had been found and were on their way. I got the eggs two days later. He did offer me a "deal" if I wanted to give him more money for a trio. I declined as I thought that maybe it was the post office that messed up. The eggs were packed nicely and all arrived unbroken but of course none developed.

Well, then he had some Rhodebar eggs on a Ebay auction and I thought I would give him another try as surely the first time was just a fluke and his feedback was good for the few he had. I did not win the auction but got a second chance offer from him. via email not through Ebay. Again he made the insistence on upgrading to express shipping which I declined. Then he couldn't ship the eggs because one of the hens got sick but he could ship me Cream Legbar eggs. I said no I would wait until the Rhodebars started laying again. Within a couple of days, the Rhodebars were suddenly laying again and the eggs were shipped. These eggs were bubble wrapped and tossed in a box. with no additional packing so they freely tossed about the box. Two eggs were smashed and the other four had floating air cells. Since I got the previous eggs which were packed very nicely, I got the message loud and clear since I did not want to give him the additional express shipping money or take the offered Legbar eggs then he purposely just tossed the eggs in a box in hopes of them getting broken or non-hatch-able. He also knew I could not leave feedback on Ebay because his offer was through email. I did not contact him about the Rhodebar eggs as I knew how he would react. I just made a mental note not to do business with him again. I could have filed through paypal but once again he would have just said I state I am not responsible for what the post office does with the package.

I could not leave feedback on the Rhodebar eggs since he made me the offer outside of Ebay. I did not leave feedback on the Legbar eggs either as all outward appearances the fault was with the post office. Of course I don't know if he or someone he knows works at the local post office , maybe that first package was purposely set aside for days until I said I would start a search. This person is very sneaky and is certainly someone to avoid. I guess as long as everything is going fine and you go along with what he wants then everything goes smooth thus his good feedback. He uses the same name under Ebay for those of you that are wondering.

Anyway, sorry Michelle for your problem with him . Once I knew who you were dealing with, the comment about killing the birds all fit into my own dealings with the !!!!###???? . Good luck.

CelticOak - So glad that you got the LLO and they are okay. Beautiful birds.

Love the gosling pictures also.

Sounds like a very sneaky person.

How did the MFL do for you?

There were no MFL in the MFL box...only silkies. I thought that was weird but you said that they weren't laying so well so I thought you sent them instead. LOL!
I take it that was a mistake in labeling, then? I wonder who got the MFL in the silkie box!

x2! I'm afraid to even try to get eggs or chicks outside of BYC anymore.

So, I'm pretty sure I can guess who this dishonest business is all revolving around. Sadly, I've heard others with issues from this person. Is this person also a beloved cartoon character?

Anyone who sells pre-ordered eggs 6 months out can't be trusted.

She just got done feeding them fish so they are most likely some sleepy little chicklets now.

Who is this mysterious person? I would like to avoid them.

Is that what those two shiny things are in the background? Fish?
