How do I order seed from Mr Ko's Ebay shop?

Hi, I was wondering how purchasing seed from mr ko works. It doesn't make any sense to me. Everything is sold by auction to the highest bidder and the auction ends every monday so he only sells one of everything once a week? And I can only bid for 4 items because ebay has a security restriction on how many items you can bid on. What the? Ive been onto the orient adenium site and its super simple to order there. I messaged Mr Ko a week ago with the plants i would like to get through his website but i havent gotten a response. Has everyone else had experience with how to order from Mr Ko?

    HI Ben, Welcome to this forum. I f you go in to adenium@adenium.co.tw and get into his website it will come up as Skillful Hand GARDEN 2017 Price list Click onto this and their is a row numbers on the top like 1 2 3 Click on this and it will show you what he has for sale most of these are on ebay. I didn't go theough e-bay as I put a order through with this. I f not sure send a message to Angelic his translator and tell her what you want, then she will send you how much and you pay through pay-pal if you got it I think I paid it us dollars. Another very good seed seller is Orient adenium

    and yang ming I have to say I have got all my seeds through these three and I have found orient adeniums seeds to be the best. If you have any problems let me know. Mr KO HAS SENT US A E-MAIL ABOUT SEEDS AS HE WAS NOT TAKING ORDERS AT THE MOMENT AS HE IS TOO BUSY get him on Facebook if you have a facebook account

    Ben, There are a number of people that have or are trying to place orders from Adenium_ko (Ko Chi Lung - Facebook). They have been having responses as to them being very busy and having to restrict to eBay at this point. I believe that it is not a way to put people of. Ko has been so good to buy from for many years now and I do not believe he is being dishonest. Much of what Sue has already mentioned.

    He will be back in full swing, I am sure.

    Hi Sue I just looked at yang ming web site looks amazing

  • 9 years ago

    Ben, I have ordered with yan ming and their quality of seeds are really good, they are in the same area as orient adeniums they are having a bit of sale at the moment 15% off order but you have to spend 80 us dollars for seeds. yang ming and orient worked into together for the business even though they are separate companies. Their is a lot of yang ming which orient has not got lol. Ben if you are looking for some grafted adeniums go into the website rareimports wa. I have order 6 off her and they only arrived last week good plants for only $25 each as she is having a sale on at the moment She only send to Qld post was $55 for 6 express post, that another option if you wand plants .It is hard living in Aussie as we cannot get grafted plants. Adenium NT is another place I have been getting some grafted plants.Hope this imformation is a help.

    Yes thanks heaps Sue now I'm broke after buying from so many different online shops. Hopefully one day there will be enough adenoum lovers in Aus so we can just swap them with one another and put an end to this importing problem adenium lovers have.

    Hi all Aussie Adenium lovers and welcome to the group Ben. I live in West Australia, I can't say Im lucky to be able to drive to RareImports, as I seem to go there and get a grafted plant or 2 every 2 weeks lol. By now, I know them well and they know me well. Their plants are truly well grafted and imported. Other than RareImports, I buy Mr Ko seeds on ebay. I will end up with nice plants but no rootstock to graft onto. I wish I would be able to share some cuttings later, but due to WA tough quarantine laws, that wouldn't be easy.
