    I doubt any have had any experience with this vendor as it's domain was registered 6/20/11 there are many well established pepper seed vendors that have been mentioned on this forum. If you don't want to risk and be one of the first to find out if they are reputable or not then I advise you to wait until reviews are posted.

    There selling a bunch of dead seeds!

    IT'S NOT YOU IT'S THE SEEDS!
    I bought GIANT ATLANTIC PUMPKIN Seeds from them on Ebay but they were not GIANT ATLANTIC PUMPKIN Seeds. Any one who has grown them know what they look like very large thick seeds. This guy even has a picture on the ebay listing showing a good picture of the seeds. The ones he sent me look like the pumpkin seeds you buy to eat no what he showed on his listing. Small and normal small in size. I saved my seeds from last years plants, but they did not germinate so I bought some from these guys on ebay. Rob's Rare and Giant Seeds say if your not satisfied let them know with in 7 days. I let them know I was not happy and asked if he wanted me to return the seeds. No reply from them. I went to Ebay and launched a complaint. Rob's Rare and Giant Seeds did not respond to me or ebay so they gave me a refund. As the other person stated "most of the other feedback I have seen is neutral to negative except on ebay which most ebayers leave immediate feedback and not feedback after growing." Lots of people complaining of no germination of the seeds! SO buyer beware..I was only out $3 but I did not get my Giant Pumpkins in the ground this year and it really makes me mad to see some one taking advantage of good people by selling pipe dreams not good seeds! From what I have seen of other reviews the seeds do not sprout! Do your self a faver and look at other reviews!
    Thanks

    Lack of post-grow feedback is because eBay allows feedback only within the first 60 days after the transaction. I think it should be longer - especially in some categories.

    I bought seeds online from Rob's Rare and Giant Seeds on July 22, 2015, and the seeds were never delivered. They processed my credit card payment, but didn't confirm the order by email or communicate with me. As they don't provide any contact details on their website, I can't even contact them (figures!)

    FWIW, I very much recommend www.chileplants.com I purchase 18 plants from them. All arrived beautifully and all but one has put out a lot of fruit. The failing one is the infamous white tomato, tons of flowers, no tomatoes.

    Janie was very very helpful with me when I had a questions on feeding, etc... I have 2 tomatoes, 5 eggplants and 11 peppers producing nicely sans the white tomato, big plant but tomatoes must be invisible.

    This is an old original post, but I love www.chileplants.com too. It's a lot to ship, and just a tad late if you are way out west, and for many it is plants but no seed, but last year I bought plants on a late season sale, and overwintered, and that was good. Those overwintered plants are looking amazing.

    Mixed results here. Bought two varieties of chili peppers from them. One variety came out strong. Most of the plants did well and produce nicely. The other variety (#1356 in their catalog, chili pepper tepin/chiltepin) was a bust. None of the seeds gave plants. I'm a bit annoyed because the variety I really wanted to grow is the one that was DOA.
