Get a hit on eBay

This post was written in November 2007; specific information contained within it may be out of date.

You can buy practically anything on eBay, including, it seems, cannabis seeds. The only “weed seeds” available on eBay itself are the kind that tortoises like to eat, so eBay have helpfully improved the buyer experience by including some off-site links to places you can buy seeds and equipment to grow your own.

Selling the seeds might not be illegal in the UK, but listings would certainly be pulled under eBay’s own Drugs and Drug Paraphernalia Policy. Just like off-site links, it seems what’s okay for eBay is not necessarily okay for sellers.

Many thanks to Steve for the screen shot.

    That is hilarious… it is certainly not allowed here in the U.S., but I have seen a few listings similar to that here and there. eBay never seems to be REAL quick about pulling anything unless it is your own listing :)
