I'd wondered about selling some unusual seed I've been growing but
wondered if there were a lot of regulations? Some "proper" seed suppliers
seem to be registered as seed packers and claim "EC Rules and Standards".

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

I have no idea what they are (I remember using pipettes in chemistry class)
- are they actually filled with some medical something (Frontline, at a
guess?  anti-flea or herbal supplement, or somesuch?)

If they're medical, I'm not at all surprised.  My mum had a load of my nan's
medication left in her car when she died, and the only way to dispose of
them was to take them to a chemist.  Couldn't, I believe, even donate them
back to a hospice or community nurse.  Presumably you have to be qualified
and registered to hand them out.
