Has Anyone Ever Used This Ebay Plant Store

[iroc]

I ordered some things from here today so I can tell you my experence but I was wondering if any of you have used them aquadise

I bought 3 X Microsorum pteropus - 5+ leaves rhizome. 4"+ inches high. and 2 bunches of LUDWIGIA REPENS 5+ plants. 5 inches high for 17.00

Haven't used them, the low feedback rating and so-so prices is what's holding me back. A lot of it seems recent too.

Well I will offer a report when I get my plants (IF I get them )

If anything happens, you can ask them to resent/refund. A lot of their positive feedback seem to be from people who didn't like their order, but asked for resents/refunds.

It seesm like they have pretty good feedback, but I am a ebay newbie so I donno............

 

[dizzied]

97.3% is actually quite low, especially since it's not a new member. 99.8% would be considered good feedback, and I usually avoid anyone with less than 99.0%.

But if you do take a look at their feedback, you'll notice they're willing to resent/refund, so you should be still be okay.

that means people have done business with them repeatedly... 1 person bought 3.5 things on average from them... thats good enough for me.

There is a 5 page thread over on planted tank about this seller titled "Aquadise on ebay= con artist" so make of that what you will, the thread is in the general discussion area, it has been kicking around the front page for a couple of weeks but has slipped back a bit and can be found on page 3 atm.

Buyer beware, or at least read through that thread first of all and then make up your own mind.

I really hope it wasn't a con, but I will report to this borad on what happens

 

[Dave1]

everything was fine for me... it just took a little while for me to get them because there were being shipped from Texan to NY, but everything got here fine and is growing great, and they gave me more plants than stated in the auctions.

The fact that they have so many buyers and yet still such a low rating is why they should be avoided.

i just let them ship it for free... and they were all packaged in bags with some water in them, and it look 6 days from when i paid for them for them to arrive at my house... and they arrived alive and in great condition considering when they arrived at my house it was close to 0ºF outside. i had NO DOA's

hey iroc you are lucky if you get ur plants on time, and in good time, they use first class, most plants are emerged, and shipping takes like 20 days,, if they remember... they forgot alot of orders and their plants are usually DOA but he will give a refund, most people think its cheap but its worth what ur gettin, dead cheapp plants

ur better off going to a all american planted tank forum to buy stuff from swap and buy
