Re: [aroid-l] Let the buyers beware.

Folks

I have bought almost fifty items on eBay, not plants & they have nearly all
been from wonderful honorable people.  Because eBay is "moderated" maybe
sellers & buyers have to be good to each other or they don't last long
there?   I haven't tried selling Spathiphyllum  cultivars on eBay to the EEC
(no time consuming papers necessary between the 26 Countries) .  May be a
splendid way to cut down to species only here.   Thanks!

Thought I'd send the following, a light smile to the present chain!
