I bought 2 variegated florida aeae's and one variegated ta nee from
ebay last year. After they started growing, I realized these were definately
not variegated plants at all. It took a couple of months to realize it and
by the time they started growing good, it was too late to do anything about it.
I couldn't file a dispute with paypal or my credit card company.

The supposed variegated aeae, turned out to be a dwarf type banana
plant with redish pink stems that look similar to that of an aeae.
The suposed variegated ta nee turned out to be nothting more than
an ensete glaucum.

It has been 8 months now and the plants are still growing and obviously
not from variegated stock. I don't want to mention any names because
BKinterplants wouldn't like everyone to know these are the things he does
Tried to upload a photo but it doesn't seem to be working.


BUYER BEWARE!

It doesn't hurt to ASK, that way the folks at least have the opportunity to fix things.
There are a lot of good reputable outfits out there that stand behind their sales.
Happy customers are the best advertising, & many sellers subscribe to that as well

BKinterplants sucks!!!! This seller is a scam artist! I had a bad experience from this Thialand seller as well. Don't buy anything from him. I did dispute it and won. I recommend you contact eBay and show them pictures of the plants you were supposed to receive and what you actually have.

Anytime you want to purchase plants check out the great members here first. If we don't have what you want we know where to get it.

Good luck!

Every time I cantacted BKinterplants he just plays dumb. Making statements
like:

"Are you sure you buy from me"
"I sent correct plant to you"
"Maybee you make mistake"

He doesn't seem overly interested in fixing this problem. Even if he did
offer to resend the plants , he won't pay shipping, and why would I want
to pay $85.00 in shipping and perhaps end up with the same result?

Also yesterday I received an email from his store on ebay saying "sorry
you didn't win Variegated Musa" It showed a price I supposedly bid of
$39.99 and the actual seling price.
The only problem is I never bid on this auction.????
Does this sound like a reputable seller?
I'm sure he's quite aware that most of the banana bulbs he sells end
up dying once they reach his customers. So he really doesn't expect to
be found out. He also knows that in the odd case like mine where I was
able to grow the plants, by the time I realize I'd been taken, I can't
do anything about it.
I would never recommend anyone buy from BKinterplants or BKinterseed.

I have never had a problem with Wat9228 or her other store Gloryshadow.
I found all her plants to be true to form, and when I had a bulb arrive
rotten she refunded me no problem. The downside is she is really slow,
mainly because I think she has a very busy life. If you have patience, I
recommend her.

I found Thailandplant to allways sent the correct plants. If there
is an issue though he is not as willing to rectify the problem as swiftly
and easily as wat9228 (Warunee Khetrakarn)

I sent the info to ebay but the response I received was exactly what I
was expectiing. The told me that the 45 day dispute deadline has passed
so they were sorry but there was nothing that they could do.
As for buying from members on this site, I'd love to, but most
won't ship to Canada.

This already became a sort of mantra but: The Best plants comes from members here!

I absolutely refuse to buy any orchids from thailand. They have made quite a reputation for ripping off people. Any reputible sellers there that have your feelings hurt, sorry, blame your countrymen. Any place that is so 'fast & loose' with integrity can do without my $$$.

Also, I believe that is the origin of Musa 'Florida' that is some variegated type. I just don't trust it, and won't take it if offered free.

Well... this is what the guy posted "elsewhere":
I'd say either let the guy fix his "mistake", or let the bashing begin! (suggestion void where it violates TOS)

I guess it's not just his bad english. I was going to buy something from him but I did not trust the description. he does not seem to know what he is selling, or plays dumb.

He is also selling a so called variegated Xanadu which is really
a variegated P. Bipinnatifidum cross usually sold under the name
"ring of fire". Anyone buying this and hoping for a Xanadu is in
for a suprise.
I've been growing this plant for several years, and it's nothing
like a Xanadu.

He is also selling a an extreme variegated Musa Tanee, which isn't
a Tanee at all. It is really what they call a Musa Florida AEAE.
It is differently variegated from the normal Musa Florida you can
usually find in Thailand and like all his plants, it's way overpriced.
This one can be found for at least half the price if your patient.
