I only sell on the daylily auction "gramps" seed seller only.

The problem I see with selling on Facebook is there is no long term way of keeping post pinned to the top so people can bid in an auction setting.
Maybe it works for fixed price, or someone with only a few to sell.
No organized keeping track of sales or buys, no options for billing or collection, and I was told it's a nightmare to collect from everyone that buys.

This last season I will have listed over 1,300 packs of seeds on Mike Longo's Daylily auction by the time I am done, the seeds that sell are listed with each buyer, there is another page for the unsold.
I can keep track of who is paid up, who isn't, all shipping dates, plus feedback, and it also has a message option for questions from buyer or seller.
There is also mediation for problems, limited to what can be done but at least it's a start to attempted resolution.
Any fees to me are a bargain for what I get and the audience I can reach.

What I like about Facebook is that it is a great place to share pictures, ideas, free advertising, etc, these groups are hopping with activity, newbies to established hybridizers, any thing you want to ask or share, someone will reply.
Even a few groups for buyers to share info on sellers, the good or the bad, and at least one group for sellers to compare notes on problem buyers.

For pure organization nothing I have seen yet comes close to Mike Longo's Daylily auction, For sharing information Facebook groups are light years ahead of anything the AHS ever had going, and nobodies the boss Smiling

I was also watching to see what was posted. They are a seller in KY. I don't know them, but had hoped they might get a better review. Angry

Dana look at the seller's reviews on the LA. Based on what I saw I would buy from this seller. Sometimes our expectations can be unreachable. If I saw something I wanted I wouldn't hesitate to buy. My humble opinion of course. Someone name "Bonehead" gave this seller an excellent review. Not sure if it is the same Bonehead here on g.org

Yeah, I always do, but let me tell you, I had a horrible experience with a seller there who has rave reviews. They even resorted to name calling during the dispute resolution. I was allowed to change my rating, but only to neutral and it's still the only neutral they have. So you never know. Sighing!

That is true, years ago I bought from a lady that several had been given good reviews. I thought my fans were pretty wimpy. I always try to send in an order what I would be happy to get myself.

Dana - my first purchase on the LA was from someone that had less expensive daylilies, and I thought for the price the fans weren't bad so I gave a good review. I now know that those fans were less than acceptable for me and won't purchase from that seller again, however I already left a good review, and the seller was very nice to work with and sent several bonus plants. I think that unless we have a really bad experience we tend to give good reviews. Not sure why, just guess it's human nature. Instead of looking at the reviews on the LA, I go to the Facebook Good, Bad and Ugly and some people that won't put a bad review on there when I ask will instant message me with their personal review of negativity if they are a so/so seller. I got two like that on the same seller, but neither would put a bad review on the site, not sure why, but I paid attention to their instant messages and chose not to purchase.

Thanks Ginny and Teresa. Thank You!
I'm so very new to the FB Good, Bad and Ugly therefore, it's not the first thing I think of, and I really wonder the point of it both here and on FB for the very reason you just said. It's tough bc nobody wants to *feel* responsible for the potential downfall of somebody's livelihood Sad , even though it's the seller's own problem, in all reality. Plus they can change, that is, if they should so choose! Crossing Fingers!
I didn't mention the seller's name publicly, but I would privately, as you're aware...
