Many of the pictures on Ebay are illegally used from popular websites. Around two days ago, 5 Windmill palm seeds were on Ebay with a picture of a Needle Palm. Whats even more funny is that the seller stated that the photo was taken by his/her self even though it was stolen from a Nursery web page.
