Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine
Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion
Mr. Paul Savage:
Yes. The person buying does not pay a fee. He or she gets in contact, gets the contact details or sends a message through the website. There are different methods of contact. Under each ad there is a list of tips we give people for when they go to see the dog. We update those regularly when we get feedback from customers. That transaction then happens off the platform. We do not take a deposit or something like that because situations might change and somebody does not want to sell that pet anymore, for example.
