Some people on another plant forum I visit have. The majority of them seemed pleased.

I've seen the plants on E-bau and they seem healthy from the pictures.

The good thing about snow is that it makes your yard look just like your neighbors!

I've purchased several plants on eBay. I've even had some shipped airmail from Germany.

You can get a good laugh too when you see people list a plant as rare and have the price jacked up. Most of the time they are plants that I can go a mile down the street and buy 10 of them! One guy even had a wandering jew listed as rare.

Lord, please let me be the person my dog thinks I am!

oh and i forgot to add i have a question how do they ship the live plants?

I'm interested in air plants. I haven't found a good supplier in my area so I thought about e-bay. I think I'll wait until May though- wouldn't want to risk a frost getting them!
Thanks,

Oh, and to answer your question about how my plants were shipped...

Mine were shipped in 3" plastic pots. They were side ways in the box encircled by cardboard and then surrounded by padding. They had somehow even managed to put some take around the rim of the rims of the pots to prevent as much soil spill as possible. But the take was not touching the leaves. But not everyone sends plants that way. Some are rooted cuttings.
A really nice lady on another forum sent me a bunch of cuttings. She wrapped the roots loosely in wet paper towel and slipped them into ziplock bags. She place them all in a box filled with styrofoam peanuts.

I've always looked at the ratings of sellers on e-bay, put now find myself reading about how they package the plant. I only want to purchase from people who realise that plants are living things and need to be treated as such. Thanks for the valuable info.
