Has anyone purchased seeds from eBay before?

Any experience?

Thanks

I have purchased from Mark Korney on ebay a couple of times. I recognized his photos the first time and was quite satisfied so I bought from him again last year. He had some crosses and others at very reasonable prices. If i remember correctly they were about $1 a pack if you bought 10 packs.

Mark used to post a lot on GW and some here but he has a lot on his plate these days. Hope he sells seed this year.

I remember Mark and wouldn't hesitate to buy seeds from him. I do remember several conversations over the years though, about less than trustworthy people selling seeds on Ebay. Of course you have to watch the blatant misrepresentations and think about the sources and what their purpose might be ($$). People whom are less informed may pay outrageous prices for commonly found seed, or believe claims that guarantee a certain amount of produce, etc. You just don't know what you are really getting unless you know the person and trust that they are representing the seed as best as they know.
