I purchase trees from ebay and wanted to know anyone's opinion who is familiar with grafting. Do these look ok? The first is a weping Japanese Maple palmatifidum lace leaf
Grafted tree question
I paid between $14.99 and $20 for each tree. I want your experts opinion on the quality of grafting and any thing I need to know about the care of these babies.

Buying grafted plants online, you have some courage there! It looks like good deals to me. When those grafted plants get bigger they would command a very much higher price. An important thing I'd think is you may have a reputable grower/grafter source. Just don't buy a car or a house online! I'd say good job! Tho, I'm not really an expert. I hope you didn't get burned. Hey, I bought a used car Saturday, (I test drove it twice though), I may be in the same boat!
I purchased a beautiful tree 2 years ago as a memorial for my dad. The weeping limbs of the tree reminded me of him shrugging his shoulders when mom fussed. It was funny and made us laugh. So I paid $165 for a 4 ft tree, forgot the name, it's spiraling around a stick and the limbs hand - droop. It's so nice and the nursery owner said the trees came from OR.
I searched ebay and found this guy who is from OR and had around 8000 positives and no negatives. I wanted to give it a try. $14.99 - $20 wasn't bad and shipping was very fair, I think $7.99 for the first and $2.50 for each additional. They look healthy enough but wanted some grafting info before I leave feedback.
