With myself for the most part. I had been trying out some carnivorous plant vendors on ebay and had a mostly positive experience so I thought I would try some cactus. Found a seller with a lot of inventory who was doing free shipping. Plants arrived totally dehyrated and somewhat flattened. I mail order a lot of cactus and have never gotten any like these!
Echinocereus rigidissimus rubrispinus - was a nice size but was flattened and still feels pretty soft.
Ferocactus hamatacanthus - small but cheap, very ugly as its damaged and still doesnt appear to have grown any roots after about a month
Echinocereus viridiflorus v. viridiflorus - multiple heads but very tiny and one large head was removed today as it was rotten. Oddly one head appears to have 2 of the tiniest flower buds I have seen on a cactus. This one might live.
Gymnocalycium bruchii - was cheap but only about the size of a quarter. Oddly it has a bud too. Think its the HO T5 lights.
Have you had any good experiences from ebay and if so, who?
I didn't leave any bad feedback but feel I was given half dead plants the person wanted to clean out of his green houses.
From now on I will stick with the online vendors that have worked.

Note, I did go back and leave negative feedback. First time I have but I feel I should when someone is selling poor quality plants.
