Good eBay vendors to the UK?

[PrognatusAfera]

Hey all!

Sorry if a thread of this nature has already gone up--I couldn't find anything.

I've recently moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, and can no longer use the sites I used to for online orchid shopping back home. I have seen the general thread on vendors in Europe, but I think it was mostly websites. While I will be using some of those, I do also love to do some eBay shopping--I used to get some really good deals on some beautiful plants!

So, does anyone have any favorite eBay vendors for getting orchids in the UK? Thanks in advance!!

I see you haven't gotten any ideas yet...
You can order from any european ebay vendor, it's just that you'll pay more (a lot or little depending on vendors) for shipping.

My personal favorites:
Popow-orchids (Germany- has many plants there that are not on their website)
greeny-pottery (UK- specialized in neofinetias and other japanese orchids- they don't have plants for sale lately)
yangs.orchids (UK- a lot of Phals)

I don't have others to recommend, since ebay is not my primary source of plants. My impression though is that there aren't the sort of deals you'd find on the US ebay, since many vendors I follow are moving away from the bidding system and setting fixed prices.
