gardenofeden Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 has anyone else noticed the eBay listings from an eBay seller called gardeningrussell? They have been annoying me for ages, as many of the plants are mis-named. Seems all the photos are nicked? from the interweb too, just do a search for the speceis on google and the photos used come up within a few pages. If it annoys you too please feel free to message them. I have emailed a few photo copyright holders too to see what they say (including Triffid Park) Here is an axample of one of their listings gardeningrussell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexa Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 You can tell from the description that he really know's nothing about CP's. I've not looked so I don't know if he only sells carnivorous plants, but it's basically rubish. Good call on the copyright issue, he really should be warned. Alex.

andyoliver Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I agree. The copyright thing needs to be address but if the people who own it don't enforce it then what can you do!?! If you click his "shop" link he sells a lot other plants and not just CPs, lets hope he knows more about them!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobile Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) 'WILL KATCH WASPS' Looks like he could do with a spell checker too. Very popular seller though, with 13000+ feedback and 99.9% positive. Edited August 28, 2009 by mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 well Triffid Park got back to me and said that they had not got permission, as expected, and would be contacting them. The seller has now pulled all their Sarracenia auctions, seems to indicate that all the photos were lifted without permission. Small victory at least....
