You can stop people from offering cuttings here or you can encourage them to continue offering cuttings here. Here's how.

Agree 100% with Bob.

It's hard to be patient, though.  We're all like this dog, but with figs instead of cupcakes (well, some of us are like this with cupcakes, too):

This is not about what you buy on ebay but about those times when someone offers you cuttings for very little cost.  If you chose the gift option then you are paying the fees and that's fine.  Some people are selecting the purchase option and saddling their benefactor with the fees.  That's not fair unless you're including enough extra to cover the fees.  You can find out the fees by first selecting the gift option.  Either way I often include a few extra dollars.  That way if many of us do it it's like the forum is treating that person to a desert or something.

And I'm hearing this sort of thing from more than 1 person who is offering cuttings.

I couldn't agree more.  Thanks for that gentle reminder.
