On Ebay they sell pothos for monsteras. On Etsy , it seems everything is a scam. They set up a shop selling plastic toys or dolls, then they switch to expensive plant cuttings that are obvious scams, and etsy seems to do absolutely nothing about it.

Until those marketplaces start being held liable for scams there is no incentive for them to care since they take a cut of the proceeds. On the other hand I'm not sure what's scammy about this? As far as I know selling something for a huge margin is not in itself a scam?

    Both would fit the mold just as well no?

  They don't actually sell the expensive stuff, they scam people with other plants
