Why would a site set up categories so that gullible members can be deliberately  ripped off?

The worst part is that there are more listings put on as time goes by and some gullible Aussie sellers buy

 

bulk lots and then sell these frauds.shok.gif

Those are the sort of listings that need reporting to the authorities.....ACCC, ACORN and anyone ele that may be able to act to get them removed.

I bought some money tree seeds a few weeks ago. That seller also had 70 inch TV seeds (as well as 100 inch). I've planted my seeds and waiting for them to geminate. I'll let you know if they grow so you can put an order in for TV seeds. The seller guaranteed them. For $1,500 for 5 seeds, I thought it was a bargain given it grows every denomination of both polymer and coins. Go me!

Tippy if you are wanting to send money to UK sellers you will need a paper money tree too as we have only just started issuing plastic fivers and I haven't seen one yet.

 

My paper money tree is now a metre high but the seller says it will not fruit until it is half as big again, it looks very healthy so no reason to think it will not live up to expectations.

I bought some of those Burning Bush seeds but, every time I think they're sprouting *woosh*!  Little burst of flame and a puff of smoke and they're gone.

 

Maybe I'm not watering them enough.

Cool, just what I was after! I'll add it to my cart along with some rainbow paint I can paint the pot with when I plant it.

i had a brilliant idea, when a refund is requested (they do happen at times unfortunately)

 

could i send a money tree seed instead of money?

 

if the buyer is a good gardener they could wind up with more than the refund

 

another win win situation?
