My experience over 2 years is that there are some honest sellers but quite a few are not! I have bought a large number of seeds, mostly tets. and have so many dips from the first year you would think I only bought dips. A very large percent of seeds received last year were rotten on receipt. As for the plants, one turned out to be a Kwanso! I can't remember off the top of my head what it was supposed to be but I certainly never bought one of those. We Can Dance is in it's second year and the foliage is still only 4 inches tall, no flowers this year either and 6 other plants from 3 different sellers are all in an intensive care unit on life support! They are starting to look like they might survive but if this winter is as bad as last I doubt it. I had one seller invoice me 4 times for a seed win that I had paid for within an hour of the close of the auction, good thing I had my PayPal receipt. Then once she finally acknowledged I had paid, she claimed she had sent them the week of the auction. Of course I never received them till months after and they were all rotten anyway.
On the up side there are 3 plant sellers I'll have no problems purchasing from again and one seed seller that I have nothing but praises for that I will continue to buy from BUT as for the rest, I'm done with the auction.
