Hi I will be ordering from wistuba on May 9th. Mainly a lot of N. Madagascarines and a couple Attenboroughii. If any experienced growers would like a few extra Madagascarines or to buy an Attenboroughii off of me when it arrives lmk. I can also add things as a group order but my budget will break if I go over $500 which isn't really a lot but I have to be responsible with my finances lol.

I recently received my Wistuba order so doubt I need more, but I'm curious on your process. Are you looking to share the import fees, or are you figuring you are already buying stuff so you're covering that and allowing people to just jump in? Also, are you looking for pre-payment for items, or are you going to accept someones order and pay them when the items come in and you are ready to ship them out? I'm just looking to clarify your post a little. You're super new here so I think it may be kinda hard to get people to join in and pay ahead on stuff, but also it's more risky for you to buy things for people without having that pre-payment... I thought there were rules regarding group buys but I can't find anything, so carry on and everyone be as safe as you can!

Sorry for not clarifying. I will be importing a large quantity of N. Madagascarines and a couple larger N. Attenboroughii. The large quantity of N. Madagascarines is because of its rarity in cultivation so I will be grabbing as many as I can buy and just selling the rest for $20 including shipping. I don't do PayPal f&f I only do PayPal invoice for goods and services for the security of the customer and it makes refunds easy in case something goes wrong on shipping. Also I will allow people to add to the order and just use PayPal invoice for goods and services as well.
I guess when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Cost me twenty bucks for nothing. I'm hunting leopard now.
oh did he take your money and not send the plants? I have heard multiple people say that across several different forums.
No. He sent me info to purchase pre paid medium priority mail box. I did so, sent him the QR code that was generated and have not heard back since. Not sure of the scam here but now I get to fight with post office to get a refund. I do not understand why he went to the trouble he did. I would never send an individual monies and thought this was legit. Again, if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
Gotcha, hopefully, you get your refund back. the whole thing is odd for sure. I am not sure what he has to gain by getting an address but who knows? I'm glad to hear you didn't send him cash though.
