First Ebay Purchase!

[jrodpad]

I've been curious about buying chids online for quite some time - but I've been put off by the cost of shipping relative to the cost of the chids themselves.

This evening I found an interesting oncidium that I thought would fit in well with my collection:

Miniature Oncidium Tolumnias Red Berry

It was a great price and the shipping was less than $8. I'm a bit worried that it might be that the deal is too good to be true.

Does anyone have any experience with buying from ebay? The seller was increadableorchids. Has anyone bought from him/her before? How much shipping damage should I expect? Any rehab tricks that I should think about to keep the oncidium healthy after spending a few days in a box?

Thanks!
