Hey there, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with an eBay seller under the name of "carmenalcalacaballero". I bought some seeds from her but wanted to see if anyone had experiences with this person. I was a little curious because I had just noticed some of her items come up with "New York" as the location, but the profile says she's in Spain. I bought some P. esseriana and N. amp red X ventricosa seeds from her. It's a bit early for me to know for sure, but I do see a little sprout in the Ping pot. Not very experienced with growing Neps but I've heard they take long so I'm not expecting anything soon from that pot.
I also bought some N. maxima seeds from a seller in the States under "exotics-of-wonderland". He seemed like a nice guy; nice communication so far anyways, and was curious if anyone had positive experiences with that seller. I checked the blacklist but I don't think I saw either of these people mentioned.
Oh, and just a side thought, but could the blacklist have all the mentioned people just listed on the top? I guess I'll mention that there. Just so it's a good quick-look list when I peek on Tapatalk because I usually look at the eBay app from my phone, I thought maybe it would be more convenient for people to have all the blacklisted on a clear list so they don't have to skim the whole thread.

I bought a pack of drosera seeds from the first one before, it shipped from Poland and there's germination and it is drosera for sure. Is it what they claimed to be, though I have yet to find out. Willy

Willy Oh, and when my Pings are bigger, would you be able to tell if they're esseriana? You have a great collection and I have little to no experience.

I'll be more than happy to help, but I'm sure dvg and KP and other members will have much more experience than myself

Thanks! Well, I'll make a new thread for it, if I'm able to take a good enough pic for the tiny things.

okay so for carmenalcalacaballero seller, the seeds are legit in terms of being CP seeds. However, beware because the seeds aren't true to the types. I have bought from him/her twice, first time I ordered D. adelae seeds because I was curious - turned out to be D. indica. Second time I ordered Ping seeds - turned out to be drosera (not yet ID). So buy with caution. If adventure and mysterious random dew is your preference, I think this seller is for you. Willy

Yeah, my Ping. esseriana is some unknown Drosera as well. I'll know more when it gets bigger. I'm curious if it'll be the same as yours.
