The one out of country sellers likes to charge high price for couple of seeds and it's a bummer. 2 weeks ago I bought 10+ seeds for 8 bucks from canada to test my green thumb for Nepenthes. When it arrived I immediately sow it on sphagnum moss before leaving to edc. When I came back it germinated.Here is a similar thread about ebay sellers, it's a good read with suggestions by experienced growers:

So in ebay I do ask and have them send me pictures of the seeds with name and date written on the piece paper to confirm they are real.HUM562 wrote:I bought mine from ebay also yes they are expensive recently Last week I bought 6 seeds from Spain for 5 bucks and 50 seeds from Florida for 5 bucks cheap in good price.
