New eBay Seller of Galicia Negra

It's more than likely a fraud.  The same goes for Black Maderia on eBay.  There are a lot of sellers of BM on eBay but looking at the posted pictures....it's not truly BM.  If you don't know the seller, its best to just stay away.

Absolutely agree! Work too hard for my money to give it to someone unknown and potentially scamming people.... Spend your hard earned bucks with those folks who have established a reputation for reliability and trustworthiness....

I'll guess St Jean and Bourjasotte Grise.

It's sad that these scammers can just keep going.  You'd think ebay would stop them after so many complaints.

So plant-creator is selling a 4-pack of trees (item# 263032727599).  One of them are a Galicia Negra.  If you compare that with your person's item (item# 322549380922), the leaves of the Galicia Negra are very different.  Maybe it's because the stage of development?  I don't know.  But his seller smells a lot like dausername1 / 77Peony, et. al.

Recommend staying away.  If it's too good to be true, it's probably a scam.  And quite frankly, even the scammers try and trick you with an ultra high price as a "rare" tree when it really is fake.  Stick with a reputable seller from the forums.

Best of Luck!

I'll add Black Greek to my guess. Maybe I can win half a cutting.
