Or maybe even know this seller from the world of Ebay.
They are offering Rajapuri for $3... I am a little afraid the plants are a little too cheap and could be labled wrong. They are claiming a 4-6" plant (TC). Anyways they are willing to ship to Canada so that is what peaked my intrest.
Thanks- Matt

I have bought several from them, but just got an email yesterday that his mother died in a car accident and they are way behind on shipping new orders. Never had a problem with them in the past, but it's your call.

Thank-you for the heads up. That is terrible news. I work as an insurance adjuster so I see that all to often and it never gets any easier. My heart goes out to his family and I will hold off on any orders for now, but will look them up in the future.

I BOUGHT FROM THEM TO. The plants wre fine , but I had to file a claim with paypal to get them. I sent them many emails that were never answered. Forget phone calls no one is in.That story about his mother has been used many times. Check ebay feedback. I have been very happy with wellspringardens ,better shipping. That reminds me tallpines over charged for shipping.

I might be an eBay junkie, but it wasn't that hard, took all of 10 seconds! ;)

Would be interested to see the email you got regarding the mother just buried, killed in a car wreck - if you still have it. I must say that I have not had any problems previously, but if the seller is conning me, I want to be prepared.
Thanks, this kind of info is just one of the things that keeps this org so good.

I must correct something I said. I WAS WRONG WHEN i SAID THE STORY ABOUT HIS MOTHER WAS USED BEFORE. i NEVER RECEIVED AN EMAIL . I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED BEFORE I said anything. THE REST OF MY POST IS FACT.

His mother must die a few times a year, because thats the same excuse he gave me back in January after I said I was going to try to get back my money(via paypal) after no plant, and no emails(many sent) after a month.
I finally did get my plant, and he wanted me to change my feedback, because of his mothers death, I said I would, but I never did. He must not like his mom too much to use that excuse every time, I mean come on that's lame.

I have never bought or checked out this seller before this thread was started. One thing that caught my attention is that he has been listing new auctions since the supposed death of his mother. He seems he is not only a liar, but an idiot.
I imagine his feedback would be worse than it is but many buyers in the past probably did not post anything negative out of fear of retaliation. They don't have to worry about that any longer because of changes in eBay policies. Several of his negative and neutral feedbacks describe not getting their plants or taking a long time to get them. I suspect the only way you'll get yours is to threaten to file a refund request from PayPal and post negative feedback. Good luck!

Wow, that's unfortunate that someone would stoop to that level. I used to work with a guy that used that excuse to get a discount on an airline flight. I think it's really bad karma. What will they do when their mother really passes away?
