I want to get everyone's opinions on this situation.
Last year someone inquired about a gecko. He wanted us to hold it for him but didn't have PayPal. I very specifically told him that we could only except a US Postal Money Orders and he mailed a MO from a super market or something. I mailed the money order back to him. He said it was ok, he'd just send it back with another money order. :main_huh: I told him that we wouldn't accept that type of money order and I didn't hear back from him.
One month later he asked if we were going to NARBC I told him we were not.
Three weeks ago he emailed to say that he had PayPal and wanted a gecko. He sent $10 and when I explained that I needed 20% to hold the gecko he told me to keep it and sent the rest of the deposit a week later. After that he sent another payment of $25. Today was the 14th day (after the second deposit payment) so I sent an invoice for the balance. He emailed back to say that he couldn't buy it because of a family emergency.
Would you keep the $26 deposit and refund the $25 partial payment? Keep the $51 in deposit and partial payment? Or would you refund all of it?
