i still dont see where in the auction it says YUMA...all i see is electric pink ric....

Yuma or florida the pic of what was received looks very disappointing.. hopefully it will color up but not what i would call "bright pink"

To clarify things in regards as to the species, I asked the seller before purchase if it was a yuma, he said yes. What I received is unquestionably a florida. I also inquired about the size, he told me one a half inches. What I received was a brownish one inch florida ric. The size is not that big of a deal, it's just that it in no way lives up to what I was offered. The photo used in the auction is not even his own and most people who know rics would agree that it is a photo of a yuma.

Now I know of two other people besides me that were sent Florida rics instead of a Yuma from this seller.. BTW, I just contacted Paypal to get the ball rolling on getting my money back.

Good deal. I think we should all contact this seller and voice our disappointments in what he is doing to our fellow reefers. If you go to his store page anyone who is an ebay member can contact him by clicking something he has for sale. What say ye? Shall we don our kilts and take up arms? :mad2:
Might wait till ntfish gets it resolved first though. Just in case we make the person angry to the point of no return.

Should contact the pic's owner or at least the site's admin and mention this transaction and that the pic is being used.
I don't normally like to cause trouble mind you, but the are just too many people out there taking us for a ride and it is beyond getting old.
This should be a lesson to us all. No WYSIWYG pic, no sale.

That guy was using a picture of mine of some zoanthids, that he said he had taken in 20k lighting. I contacted him about it and made him take the picture down. He is a thief, that is not the ric you got in the picture I have seen the picture that he used for that auction and he has been borrowing pictures off the Internet for his auctions. He was using a picture of a zoanthid that I named on Zoaid.com and used my picture and in the details stated he took the picture in his tank. I would call your CC company as well. I would also put negative feedback and state that the picture used for the auction was not his as well. Looks to be another thief out there taking advantage of hobbyist.

I have left negative feedback for him/her (seems to be a husband and wife team) Sheri and Robert Kitsmiller of Batson, TX. I have opened a dispute with Paypal.
