Has Anyone Bought Plants On Ebay?

[Liam50]

i was thinking about buying some anubias and mosses so i went on ebay and i was quite impressed of the prices but not sure about p+p as they are coming from half way across the world.

if this is from the malasian shop aquatic magic, then i would say go for it. they are a sponsor on ukaps and i know many people who have brought from them before, i presume p&p will bump the price up a little but still they seem to be a good company and have some of the more hard to find plants such as the different types of mosses

good luck

Yeah, theyve always been good for me.

I use aqua*range as well, also a very good seller.

We should have a list of reliable plant sellers on ebay that we want to recommend...

I've gotten plants from aquatic magic before.
Bought a tiger lotus bulb, it never grew and rotted in the tank. Requested another. Finally arrived completely squished. They then offered to send me x-mas moss instead. They sent it, and it all died.
I'm in the states though and it took over 2 weeks for any plant to get to me, so I'm sure that didn't help lol. They were nice enough to try to replace the dead stuff, but after the moss, I just gave up on it.

I would def look for someone closer to you first.

P@H and my LFS have plants at very good prices. My LFS has a tank full of all different kinds of plants - Java Fern, Amazon Sword, Cabomba, Anubias etc. all for £1.50 each
P@H does 3 for £5 as well and if you go in to the one nearest me on a Wednesday afternoon or a Thursday morning then you get first pick since they get them in on a Wednesday morning
Having said that, I have just ordered some more unusual plants from www.plantsalive.co.uk - I'll let you know if they come and what condition they are in.
