If you needed a PSL to sell an animal 99% of the people on this site would need one You only need a PSL if you are running a business, selling in the course of a business, business could also be defined by someone making a profit off the selling of reptiles. Anyone can sell on a reptile they get bored of, can't keep anymore, change their mind, don't want - or whatever reason, without needing a license, otherwise the classifieds would be a bit empty, breeders make up a very small % of the people selling animals on.

I would imagine if it's a specialist site just selling reps mainly those interested in keeping them will go on that site much like this one.

Actually top of my head last time i can remember and that is 6 *VERY Good* Rep shops that do give out care sheets and some say any probs, ring us/or bring reptile in and we will help as much as we can.

why is this any different to buying something from classsifieds???

have you never barterd (sp) with a seller?

ive registered and cannot find 1 auction? seems im the only member aswell am i doing something wrong?

[p&tc]

I've just been to the site out of curiosity and there are no items for sale and only 2 registered users?

Perhaps it will never take off? I am not sure this is the best way to buy reps, but other people will think it's OK?

I think I will not make up my mind until I see the ads/listings.

So i have, to be honest i dont have a problem with the whole idea as long as it will be monitored correctly.

I also dont have a problem with our banner being linked to their website, until i hear or see of things i dont think. Then i will immediately ask for it to be removed.

I do understand yes links are usually people you know, have bought off and can recommend, so yes its a little wierd, but hey ho lets see how it gets on!

they have had a specialist auction site for selling reptiles on over in germany for years, not a bad idea really if you ask me. how is it any different from buying fish on ebay?

TBO if we were asked before the name was used that would have been a start.... will see how it pans out before we put our name to anything.
