eBay simply charges the seller monthly, so that's not really a problem.

I just wanted to point out , there is a lady selling here late husbands plants. And very nice plants too.
But the plants being descust here are from a different seller and where bare root and gray in coulour.
People should be careful before accusing others, especially a bereved spouse of selling illigal plants.
And make sure they get there facts right.
I really hope she hasn't received any hurtful messages.

The ones I've seen are being sold by a business seller. There is no reference to late husbands. I've found those - it is a different seller to the one I've seen previously.

I've come to the conclusion that threads about eBay listings are perhaps not a good idea.

Maybe initials of the seller account would help to identify the listings correctly, as I understand sharing a direct link isn't the best idea.

Its amazing how easy these threads get confused/messed up.
Its actually quite simple. One seller is selling up her deceased husbands collection- nice plants.
The other is? well enough has been said about those plants but one thing is for sure they will be bought by folk who don't care a jot about conservation, never have and never will. Reflection- Sorry that's a bit harsh we can all change :lol: :grin: .

BTW This morning I ordered several Ariocarpus plants, seed grown of course, from David Quail. A simple process and therefore don't see what problem there is with his web site.
