eBay Scammer Alert

I have only sold twigs, I mean CUTTINGS ;>}, on eBay one time, but have over 5000 sales over 10+ years to over 20 foreign countries for magazines related to trains and model railroads, among other items. I KNOW that if this "RottenRob" gets enough negative feedback and "report buyer" messages they will kick him off. But no one seems to want to do that enough.
One problem is that you only have a limited amount of time to leave feedback, a MUCH sorter time than it would take to grow the cutting large enough to tell that it is not what was advertised.
I contacted him and asked, "Are you going to mail out Brown Turkey cuttings, as you have to so many others in the past?" and he replied it was only hearsay, since I was not a customer. I do not wish to send him money just so that I have the "right" to denounce him, so actual people who have been burnt / scammed by him need to rise up and get him gone!

If you want to buy on eBay, buy from Harvey C, Plant - Creator (Ray), KK or Giacomo (Just Figs). I've dealt with these and a few others and had great experiences. I was scammed by both dausername1, 77Peony, and RobRod815. Don't waste your money like I did. Deal with someone reputable.


I saw this post one day AFTER I had sent payment for Ponte Tresa.  Contacted him on Ebay regarding maybe my fear of receiving questionable cuttings, returned the cuttings the same day I received them without even opening them up and he quickly refunded my money. Looks like I'd have been grafting Brown Turkey back on my Brown Turkey shoots. Of course, now I don't have anything to even wonder about turning out to be Ponte Tresa. As a novice to figs (Celeste and BT are all I've ever known), I was hoping to expand my tasting experience so hope a Ponte Tresa will be offered in the future that I can depend on being the real thing.  So glad, though, I happened to see your post.
Thanks!
