I have a question about Ebay that I hope you all could answer...
What sellers do you guys use because I have recently started to browse through ebay and have seen phenomenal deals, but I am very wary about buying online.

AddictedCountryman, I purchased from Baldan's Orchids on e-bay and was very pleased with the results. I am sure others out there have purchased on e-bay and will be able to help.

Thanks- I will have to try them.

Nias orchids and orchidtn are two my favs

Duncansflora is a can't miss opportunity if you want healthy species and miniatures. Duncan also has some larger sized chids and hybrids.

Here are a list of eBay vendors that I have dealt with personally and were very happy with their healthy plants.

shermantp- Cochleantes marginata and Kefersteinia sp. (in spike and bud)
Larry's Orchid - small but healthy masdies - NBS
Baldan's Orchids - Phal equestris 'Gino' and Phal equestris 'Riverbend' X 'Zuma Beach' (with spikes)
Jchristyorchid - Blc. Imp 'King Cup' - NBS
ogonewild - Lance at Orchids Gone Wild (at separate website also) Hybrid Phrags in S/H - NBS
creeksideorchids - Cochleanthes White Knight - BS
coke_it_is - Phal lueddemanniana var. delicata (in spike)
tomfoolery29 (OB member) - Sophronitis cernua - NBS
exoticorchidspr (Eli Santiago Jr) - schombo/myrmeco hybrids - NBS

Hausermann (website not eBay) - Phal violaceas (2 with spikes, one - NBS) - be sure to repot
Andy's Orchids has his own website and am very happy with my Laelia reginae
All these vendors and sellers were very accurate with their descriptions and their packaging of orchids was good to excellent.

NBS = Near Bloom Size
BS = Blooms Size

DON'T BUY FROM BILL_ASIA on EBAY!!
 

Listen to All the others here my dear! As I bought from most of them too :) No issues!!

BUT, BEWARE OF EBAYS; BILL_ASIA
DO NOT BUY FROM, OR TRUST THEM ON SENDING YOU ANYTHING TRULY IN SPIKE/BUD, GOOD SIZE (AS PICS SHOW) OR EVEN ALIVE!!!!!

I just received a shipment from them (which takes A LONG LONG TIME) VERY POOR SHIPPING SCHEDULE!! But anyways, every last one from BILL_ASIA is being Sphag'd and Bag'd as we speak!!! Totally desicated, black, brown, yellow leafs/roots!!! I paid for all to be in spike/bud. I received half with them, half without!! The ones with, had no live, strength to even keep the bud/spike alive, so they were all withered away.

I have NEVER ever given Negative feedback to ANYONE!! Until Now with Bill_Asia...

Plz don't waste your hard earned $$$ on they're sorry looking orchids!!

I totally agree. And not only does he send dumpster quality plants bare root and wrapped in newspaper with absolutley no viable roots anywhere.....but he's a jerk! I get along with everyone, but this man is a HATEFUL TINY LITTLE MAN! Don't waste your time with him!

Let's stick to positive feedback on vendors - granted there are people that sell orchids that I will no longer deal with .. but there are plenty of reliable vendors also .. Let's focus on those.
Any negative feedback on a seller or vendor is best left for email discussions - I fully understand the frustration of paying for and receiving an inferior, unhealthy orchid(s) - I have been there myself.
Conveying personal negative experiences is one thing (again, best left for private discussions) but personal attacks on someone is highly uncalled for.
Thanks for understanding :)
