There is a reason why I always use a credit card to purchase animals sight unseen .... It gives a degree of protection in cases like this.
Unfortunately there are some dealers out there who are much more of a snake than any of the reptiles they sell.
Peter if you paid by credit card or paypal I would contact them ASAP and dispute the charges. I think paypal only gives a 30 day window for this and they care more about the sellers (they pay the paypal fees) then the buyers but they do have a complaint process. Your credit card company has a much better view of frauds against credit card holders and might be easier to deal with. At the very least disputing the charge might motivate the seller to change his attitude a little.
There is also a neat message board at http://www.[bleep].com/forums which allows you to post bad experiences about dealers and also allows them to respond.
Best of luck with that girl and I hope everything works out ok.
Joe
