Fábio Pires Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 I was surfing on ebay and found this seller "yescarnivorousfarm" with nice offers and prices, but all the pictures seem to be taken in the jungle. I'm not sure if they are collecting seeds in the wild or not. Anyone else know this seller? Best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bux Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Look suspicious for me like most seed offers on EBay : Too much species from many different countries available at the same time... I usually buy seeds from cultivated plants. Fabrice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmidt.D Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) I know I will make myself pretty unpopular but he looks like a reliable seller or at least has reliable dealer in those areas since you don´t get any results with a picture reverse search(I just tried some, they could be still "hidden photos") and also some pictures shows his ebayname "yescarnivorousfarm". So I think the seeds are legit (whether they are fresh or old is another matter). And since the photos are always taken from the jungle there is a possibility that these are wild collected seeds. So please do yourself a favour and don´t buy seeds without knowing for sure, whether they are wild collected or from cultivated plants.

carambola Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Well, I wouldn't call someone who destroys the native habitat of these plants for profit a reliable seller, no matter how fresh the seeds, no matter how low the prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmidt.D Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) And how do you call someone who might offers real and fresh seeds? I cannot prove that these are wild collected seeds I won´t assume anything. Sure, personally I would not buy them since I don´t think they come from cultivated plants.

Zerbirus Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 Ok so ive brought a few packets of seeds from him since february. Ihad mixed results during late winter when temps were lower (1 dubia, 1 aristochioides , 0 naga, 12 lavicola germinated) but in march maxima wavy 50%+ , 0 dairi atm etc and now a few from may are germinating with the speed growing rate amount for the latest 4 seemingly accurate. They were flower stalks collected wild by people there then sold to him, I presume they spread some seed in the area and dont poach them. Hes very good with the amount and sometimes throws in bonus seeds if you buy multiple at once. Never had any issues with him. If they were poached then I wouldnt buy from him but ive never had any issues with him as a seller and hes been truthful about seed stocks when I asked in february if he was getting this and that soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
