aquabid?

[tropical girl]

hi all,
i know i read on here that you can no longer buy betta`s from aquabid correct??
so does that mean you can only buy the betta`s if you live over their??
thats sad if so as there is such a gorgeous betta on there with my name next to it ::
lovely blue/white marble oh god i so want it but i guess if i cant get him
just hope he goes to a very special home
sad now

I know I torture myself looking on there all the time But I think you're right, I sure I read something about there being no legal UK shipper or something. I will have to satisfy my cravings with the silver dragon pk pair I just bought off ebay :D

[tropical girl]

It is illegal to import into the UK without the necessary licences unless it's done through a transhipper which at the moment the UK doesn't have. The nearest transhipper to us is Germany, but you'd still have to have the licence to get them here. The USA, Australia and some other countries have them and that's how they import from Aquabid.

Some aquabid sellers will ship directly but you risk a very big fine and the fish being confiscated and destroyed if you are caught!!!

I was looking on aquabid yesterday and one listing had contact details for a transhipper in the uk, i'm just gonna see if i can find it as i know there hasn't been one in the uk for ages

[Netty]

Was it for Kevin Piper?

[crystal]

Yeah thats the one, don't tell me he hasn't actually got a licence??

[Netty]

He did have but as far as I know he stopped acting as a transhipper sometime last year.

[incognito]

Is kevin even breeding these days?... since last augest/sept i've not seen or heard a thing. And even then he was supposedely re-building fish house?

Many of the thai peeps do mention kev but he's not been transhipping for a good 2yrs+ that i know of unless he's back in action?

[crystal]

I'm getting annoyed cause i can't find the auction. It was him and there was contact details for him.

[Netty]

The last time I contact him was the beginning of last year and think it was shortly after that that he stopped. I've noticed on quite a few that his name still appears even though he's not doing it anymore.

Unless he has decided to do it as noone else does so its a good money spinner!!

[Netty]

Nah.....I'm pretty sure he stopped....unless he's just doing it for a select few :lol!:
