Seeds Ordering Seeds Online A Good Idea?

I can’t speak from experience because I never ordered seeds before but you should be alright as long as you buy from trusted sellers with a good reputation and no you will not get in legal trouble for buying seeds online. Sounds like your friend didn’t do much research before buying so a good tip is always research the seller one way you could do this is by reading their reviews or possibly Googling their name. Hope I was of some help.
