Anyone buying anything from a marketplace like eBay MUST make
absolutely
certain that they know exactly what they are purchasing. Study
those
photo's, if they aren't detailed enough email the vendor and
ask for
more pictures. Study the vendor's rating. The buyer must
beware. If you
do feel that you have been duped, then a threat to make
complaint in his
ratings may persuade him to refund your money. I have seen
complaints
rubbished by the seller though and people keep buying from
them.

I've yet to find anything that I considered enough of a bargain
for me
to risk buying from eBay.

Good luck

And ditto for me. I don't think you can get him on his
definition. Literally he is accurate. There's an assumed
"artistic" (or at least "attractive") in front of the word "tree"
in "tree-in-a-pot" but beauty is in the eye of the beholder (as I
think Billy stated).

I will repeat what I have said befo E-Bay is a damned poor
place to purchase bonsai (and, frankly, bonsai appurtenances,
like pots or tools) unless you KNOW who you are buying from --
and that's almost "know" in the Biblical sense ;-).

I've looked, but have never bought -- and don't think I've missed
much that was worthwhile.
