I really hate that I have to do this. I don't like harming people or taking food out of people's mouths. Unfortunately, after so many warnings, the seller has given me no choice.
I placed an order with username "Terranova" for 50 Eugenia patrisii seeds for $130 with shipping. Unfortunately, I received a package of only 20 seeds. I messaged them, they told me it was a mistake and they will try to find another buyer in my state and send my order with theirs. That buyer would then forward the seeds to me. Seemed like an awful idea, but I told them okay and please keep me informed. A month goes by, I hear nothing. I messaged them again explaining that I wanted the rest of my order or refund my money, please. We ended up messaging back and forth about 10 times. I was always very polite. Of course, they never initiated contact with me, and they never would have if I didn't message them. They didn't want to take any responsibility for their mistake. They just wanted me to go away. It was 4 months of ridiculous excuses as to why they couldn't pay me. Now my last warning message, that I was going to make this post, was ignored. So here we are. I think some people think American's have money to throw around and that couldn't be further from the truth, especially for me right now. I'm out of work with a long-term leg injury and I'm trying to make some money on the side doing something I love. I hope the seller hasn't disappeared and does the right thing so I can remove this post.
I wish I had said something sooner, I hope they didn't take anyone else's money. Next time I'm not waiting to report a scam seller. Of course, they're just going to make a new account and continue to "sell" their seeds. I would recommend being aware of what he/she is selling and the area it's coming from in order to try to avoid them. Oh and only 2 of the 20 germinated under ideal grow conditions.
