orchid seeds on ebay?

[Coldgrower]

Sorry all, Back to the seeds on Ebay. I purchased seed of Arethusa and another terrestrial from the seller in Turkey before they were selling them in the "turf". No seeds ever arrived. When I questioned the seller a full refund was sent. I actually never expected to get the "correct" seed, and certainly didn't expect to get a refund (like instantly). I have to agree that perhaps there was never any orchid seed to be had and that the turf is likely lacking seed. Unless you know what to look for, most people would never go searching to see if seed was actually there.

And he's back on Ebay again, last few days his 'seeds & turf' keeps popping up in my screen. Has anyone on OB ever tried to report this with Ebay, and do they care? Because it came to mind to report this rather special orchid seed in a bag of turf, which grows into a Phalaenopsis.....

I have been a member of ebay for more than ten years. I tried everything I could think of to report the variety of orchid seed sellers that are selling "whatever". Only thing I could do was to post to the Ebay discussion board and Ebay even edited my post

As it's been said elsewhere, why should Ebay care? they are making money regardless of what is or isn't being sold. It seems to me that Ebay has gone a ways downhill as of late. I used to buy and sell there with confidence. Now, I'm not so sure.
