I bought three - yellows are a particular favourite of mine. 
What were they supposed to be Arthur?

I did not see one.  I am not sure what knowing the address of the seller on EBay would do.

It could be the same person Art:

BobyDog on here has the email "laulaufluffy@B....."

and the ebay seller (who has sold 55 lots of Sandersii at £10 each) is called "laulau78pink"

Folks, when Bobby Dog started this thread he said he had lots  of sandersii and when I  said I'd seen his 'drops on ebay he agreed with me that he'd sold lots...... we'll see what he says but I understood it to be the same person!



Off now  to Dunblane..... probably see some 'drops there.  ;)

please people, as per some people on ebay, i have requested that if things are wrong then i am more than happy to refund, it is my problem, i have faulted and must hold my hands up
as to why this happened i cannot say as this is new to me
last year the clumps were all yellow,
and now a few are green, well more than a few
i can and will refund, i have kept all the payment notification from paypal please bear with me
pm me your details
there has not been a con , but a genuine mistake

When will you lot ever learn, the remedy is don't buy from Ebay. The trouble is many of you just can't resist what looks like a bargain :(

Bobbydog will you refund everyone who bought from you? and those on Ebay?

David, lots of Ebay sellers are good honest people.

I see there are many bids for all those "unknown" snowdrops.

I agree.

I think this was a mistake when entering a new selling area - David don't tell me you have never made a mistake  :)
