   Purchasing plumeria cuttings, plants and
    seedlings on eBay can be an exciting adventure,
    but unfortunately it can end up as a very
    frustrating experience if one doesn't know what
    to look for.

   After locating cuttings, plants or seedlings one
    likes, the buyer should take a look at the
    vendor's positive feedback which is shown as
    a percentage.

   It should be close to or at 100%.
   Directly below the positive feedback is the
    feedback score which is the number of actual
    positive responses the vendor has received from
    buyers.

   This number reflects the number of products sold
    to customers who provided positive feedback per
    items purchased.

   The higher that number is reflects the vendor's
    reliability to provide quality products on a
    consistent basis.
   Plumeria cuttings, plants and seedlings are
    offered from vendors worldwide on eBay with the
    majority being located in the United States and
    South East Asia, for example Malaysia and
    Thailand.
   Unfortunately, some vendors from South East
    Asia have given a bad reputation to the region in
    general as they were selling poor quality
    plumerias to eBay customers.

   But this should not keep one from purchasing
    from vendors in South East Asia as long as they
    show a positive feedback close to or at 100%.
   Reading the latest positive feedbacks left by
    previous customers also is a helpful tool when
    making the decision to buy or not to buy from a
    specific vendor.

   This is found on the merchant's homepage
    located right below the positive feedback and
    feedback score.
   Following are some tips for purchasing plumeria
    cuttings, plants and seedlings on eBay.



   Only buy if you're able to see a picture of what is
    being offered to the buyer.
   When viewing pictures of dark blue or purple
    plumeria flowers, the buyer should know that
    most of these pictures are produced using
    photoshops and the colors of the flowers have
    been altered.

   Generally speaking, there are no known dark
    blue or purple colored plumeria flowers.
   During certain months of the year, especially from
    April to July, rooted plumeria plants with visible
    inflorescences, flower stalks, are offered.

   If an inflorescence has already opened flowers,
    the developing buds and inflorescense may be
    lost after the plant arrives at its new destination
    and is planted in a climate different from its origin.

   Shipping stress may be another contributing
    factor for the loss of the buds and inflorescence.
   If the inflorescence has emerged only a short
    way it may or may not continue to develop in its
    new home due to the above mentioned reasons.
   Showing a tennis ball or shoe next to the plant
    offered gives the buyer a clearer perspective to
    the actual size of the plant he or she is thinking
    about buying.

   Check on the shipping charges which should be
    reasonable depending from where the cuttings,
    plants or seedlings are being shipped from.

   One can compare the shipping charges from
    other eBay vendors in the same area for a
    perspective of what would be considered
    reasonable.
   Question phrases, like very easy to.

   Each plumeria has its own characteristics, and
    when adjusting to a new non tropical temperate
    growing zone the plumeria has to face new
    challenges to root, flower and grow.

   If the vendor offers a return policy, it should be
    read very carefully. The buyer can contact the
    vendor with an email for any clarifications.
   One has to be leery of purchases that offer free
    phytosanitary inspection certificates and free
    shipping from overseas.

   Generally, there is a cost for each inspection
    certificate and, of course, shipping and handling
    charges. Any shipment of plumerias coming to the
    United States or Canada needs to have properly
    executed inspection certificates.

   One may contact the local Customs office or visit
    their website to find out what forms and
    procedures need to be followed.
   Some foreign vendors include a disclaimer
    notice on their eBay page stating that they are
    not responsible for any cuttings or plants
    confiscated by Customs agents.
   Sometimes a picture of the mother plant is
    placed next to the picture of the plumeria
    seedling.

   The buyer is interested in purchasing the seedling
    which is the item that the seller is actually offering
    to sell.

   Placing the pictures next to each other can bring
    about confusion.
   The buyer may come to the belief that the flowers
    of the seedling will look the same as the mother
    plant.

   This is not the case.

   One unique characteristic of plumeria seedlings is
    that they never grow and develop to look
    exactly the same as the mother plant.
   When purchasing plumeria seedlings the buyer
    needs to make sure he or she understands these
    points of confusion by carefully reading the
    seller's description to know what he is selling and
    what is being purchased.

   The buyer needs to know that the picture of the
    mother plant does not suggest that the seedling is
    going to be an exact replica of the mother plant
    when fully developed and grown.
 In conclusion, it can be said that eBay is a great
  place to shop for anything, including plumeria
  cuttings, plants and seedlings if one follows
  guidelines on how to choose a reputable retailer.
