Anyone have experience buying from eorchids (Ebay seller)?

I am not a customer yet. They do have a plant I may be interested in.

Any feedback, good, bad or a bit of both, would be appreciated.

Not a seller I have bought from regularly, but no problems. I wouldn't hesitate for an interesting plant at a reasonable price.

Thanks. I am currently watching a couple items. The Ebay ratings seem positive, but I understand you can't always rely on those.

DOH ! ! !

Just missed the closing bid on a Phalaenopsis pulchra that I was watching that eorchids had listed. Went for a nice price too.

Guess I will just need to keep looking for this species.

I've gotten a plant or two from them. I don't remember the transactions, which means they were good.

I have actually purchased few orchids that did not come from very local sources. Most of my plants come from trading divisions, or the occasional good find at Lowes. I have orchids that I recall coming from only 5 true orchid growers/vendors (excluding Better Gro, through Lowes, or similar). Jewel Orchids (still pretty local), Carter & Holmes (visited their greenhouse to buy), and . . . DECADES ago, Jones & Scully (long out of business), Cali Orchids in Barranquitas, PR (changed hands long ago), and another orchid nursery in eastern Puerto Rico (can't recall the name, likely out of business too).

I have been fortunate in that the vendors I have purchased from have all been good ones.
