Im not sure how/where to raise this topic, but here goes. I'll get it off my chest and then calm down!
I am fed up with all those sellers who describe their common as muck plants as "Rare" Most of them are NOT, so please stop doing it and get over it. Secondly, professionalism. If you know anything about botany or horticulture, you will know how use and spell correctly a plant's generic and specific names (which part of the name to capitalise). Mistakes are understandable from amateurs, but when a seller purporting to be from what sounds like a professional nursery errs...come on, lift your game

welcome to the discussion boards.  Just a tip for your future reference, just as you are fed up with the stuff you posted about SO TOO do posts added onto the end of a thread that do not add to the thread in any way.  Your post has nothing to do with the original post or anything that was added to it in January of this year.

"Im not sure how/where to raise this topic", so . . . . . . . start a thread of your own and canvass ideas about your topic without resurrecting an old/defunct thread.

should have been . . . . . . "just as you are fed up with the stuff you posted about, posts added onto the end of an old thread that do not add to the thread in any way annoys some forum members"

 

(I toned down edited the original sentence without reading it back before posting)

Just remember that post from WA to the eastern states may as well come by camel it's so slow which might be why there are not a lot of sellers. You would need to post express.

No mention in the resurrection post about location. I suspect they are not in WA, given the complaint is about sellers misspelling genera, etc. Not something that is restricted to plants, either.

 

I love the generic book info that shows the wrong author - knocks out all the mega dropshippers (and any of the smaller sellers who use catalog [sic] data) for anybody searching by title and author and leaves those of us who spend some time on our listings in the box seat.

 

There should be more of it. I encourage every bookseller to use the catalog [sic].

 

Edit: I am at a loss to understand why capitalisation is an issue - eBay's search engine (like most) ignores capitals. It's an AASCI thing - if the AASCI number is > 128 (?) then number is that  -128. Which is basically forced lower case and everybody is happy.
