Default Beware of Fake Plumerias on that well known auction site.

It seems there is at least one seller that is milking his pics for all they
are worth.

If you think you are going to get the plant depicted in the pic on the
site you might want to think again. It really pays to pay attention to
detail.

If you put in a search for "Plumeria blue" you will notice you get
a few listings for plumeria miracle blue and if your lucky enough you
will get a listing next to a miracle blue listing for a bio bubble blue.
If you look closely and compare the two you will realize it is exactly the
same plant. The bio bubble blue looks much brighter and nicer then the
miracle blue it's picture was taken at a closer range and at a slightly different
angle. When you compare the similarities in each picture you realize they
are the same flower but look much different from each other.
If that search doesn't work here is a couple of auction numbers to look at.

Plumeria miracle blue 321126500150
Plumeria Bio Bubble blue 111114824967

Then if you look at the pics of

Plumeria violet-fox 190874457102
Plumeria mary 281144010799
You will see completely different flowers and in the background the exact same
plant (leaves) on each auction, but the leaves are different colors for each auction. An obvious hoax.
Anyone looking to buy Plumerias from Thailand might want to think again
or go with a seller that is known for selling the real items.
The more the word gets out the better, as it will discourage the dishonest
sellers from using these tactics if they know they can't get away with it.
Spread the word.
