This post is more about being cautious and doing your homework, not meant to give a seller a bad rep.
I do have to say that other than the plant being only half the size of what was shown, right now, it appears to be healthy. Time will tell if it came with any hidden (insect) problems.

If the item was not as described I would leave a negative or at least neutral feedback after trying to resolve with the seller first.
I had to do that for the very first time, recently. Of course I've received some plants that were smaller than expected, a bit of yellowing, late shipments, etc... but this one was just too far from the description to go unnoticed.
I hated to give out the negative feedback, but the seller just kept prolonging the case. They only resolved after Ebay stepped in and told them their options. This was after a month of back and forth.
Learned my lesson with that one. Even if the seller has 100% positive feedback you need to check out how many items they've sold, and what those items were. This might not necessarily be the case with your seller, as you said you recognized them.
Prior to this plant they'd only sold one other one. The rest of their feedback was generated from book sales and crafts. So while they may be an excellent vendor for books, their plants were a different story.
