Are there any regulations about selling seeds over and above anything
else?

I've sold seed on ebay, particularly for large pumpkins. As long as you're
clear about what it is you're selling, and for things like pumpkins you have
to take into account potential cross-fertilisation so the baby may not
resemble the parent! But if there were regulations, I think ebay would have
put a stop to it!

Damned right. I tried to sell unused Frontline pipettes when our cat
died and they (and Gumtree) were on to it within an hour. Never occurred
to me it was an offence
