I have bought several plants on ebay.
Most of the phals have been virused and were returned with very courteous vendors.
I have now encountered a couple of catts that were also virused but fortunately only with CymMV; still working those issues out.
The species plants I've purchased, even if inexpensive, were virus clean; interesting I thought.
I think 4331Steven has top notch stuff and it is evident when watching, with some fascination I might add, how much his plants go for every week and he pretty much sells ALL of his listed plants.
No other vendor does that.
Maile49 was also an outstanding seller with top notch virus tested "stuff".
That is the short list of who I would buy from again.
Furthermore, I very much agree with all the points Ray made.
And Maria, I just called Canaima this week and Michael Sinn answered the phone himself; he is delightful. I would call them.
