Anyone know what happened to Peter Jakubek both his Esperaza web site and email have disappeared. I know he has a large number of unsatisfied customers over the year.

I guess his insect business didn't work due to his lack of professionalism.
Only honest sellers can succeed on the long run.

He's still fairly active on eBay, using more than one user name.

I think he's in the wrong job, reading that feedback I wouldn't even buy pins from him, they would probably come damaged and he wouldn't accept the blame.

Actually, I have dealt with him a few times, the last time by accident on eBay not realising it was him, and I've never had a problem with him.

With 22 negative feedbacks on ebay, I can't believe anyone would buy from him.

I do not know him and I never dealt with him. But the 21 negative feedbacks come
from 2 customers and 1 from a "privat" registered Ebay customer !!! 22 negative fbs are
relatively much in one year - 2 unsatisfied customers relatively few.
499 positive fbs are noted for the same period (I didn't count the customers)
If ever he had, what I need - I would risk a deal !

There are always some people ( fortunately small percentage of )
that will never be happy and will always complaine no matter what you do. I know as I am dealing with my customers everyday too.
I don’t buy specimens so I don’t care too much but 94.5% score I wouldn’t be worry if I want to order something.

Kalamay,
Just to point out that e-bay americaninsects-world shows up as if it is located in USA (MT, I think). That is false. This was also a source of trouble when esperanza was his/her brand name. On the other hand, I almost certain Peter Jakubek is not his/her name.

Last weekend I successfully bid on some auctions that were listed under americaninsects-world. Seeing that the listing stated the item location was "Montana USA", I unknowingly bid with confidence that I would not have to bother with importing the items since I live in the US. While awaiting an invoice from him I ran across this thread and I was rather upset to learn about this guy's actual location. Three of the items are a subspecies of P. apollo, which as everyone knows is CITES II listed. Since I have not paid him yet, I asked him directly if he was located in the US, and if these items would be sent from a US address. He keeps stating and insisting that his listings are correct regarding item location. I would rather terminate the transaction instead of illegally importing protected species, because of potential problems that might arise.

Ask him whether CITES permits also come with the specimens. If they don't then don't pay for them. You need to have proof that they were legally imported in the first place, even if they are now in the USA.

When he listed his specimens that were up for auction, he claimed that none of them were protected species. Thinking back now I remember one of them being Papilio hospiton, Which I did not bid on, and which has been moved from CITES I to CITES II recently. He told me in one of his messages to me that there was no need for any permits, and that the package would be safely delivered to my address. At this point I feel that it would be in my best interest not to pay him.

If you are in the US, not only is there the CITES issue for apollo, but if the specimens are European they are protected under national laws, and the Lacey Act would also apply.

Indeed, Adam is 100% right.
Even if shipped from the USA, these specimens are illegal. So don't buy them and report him to ebay.

What is the psychology of wanting to buy CITES? There are far rarer papilios than hospiton etc. it’s easier to find alexandrae for sale than Papilio erskinei

Why not if bought with CITES permits ?
Without permit, it is a stupid risk...

I totally agree. I bid on his auctions because he states that his location is in Helena Montana, which the last time I checked was in the US. The issue we American collectors have is that importing any wildlife (stuffed birds, animals skins, ivory of any kind, stuffed fish, etc., even insects) is subject to USFWS regulations. Packages get inspected when they cross US borders. I simply don't want to risk any trouble with the authorities just because some individual is trying to make some money. He keeps insisting that he is in Montana, even going so far as sending me a street address complete with zip code, but after reading this thread and speaking to other collectors, I have a strong feeling he is lying to me. His listings are misleading because he is purposefully lying as to his whereabouts in the hopes US buyers will bid on his auctions.
