Regulations and Verification Systems of Online Sales of Pets: Discussion
Mr. Paul Savage:
When a person who has created an account and posted advertisements for dogs for sale hits a certain limit, he or she needs to be registered as a registered seller of pets with the Department. If that person does not want to register, or creates another account to get around our checks, we return his or her money, say thank you, tell him or her that he or she needs to register and give him or her all of the information. That person's card cannot be used again until he or she presents a registered seller ID.
