Hi everyone, just was wondering if anyone has order corals off eBay and how was your experience.
Would you buy corals off eBay.

I have not, with a few exceptions purchased at local fish stores all my corals have come from club members. Just post what you're looking for, I'd bet someone on here will sell it to you.
From eBay, I’ve purchased from Cornbred. But that’s it. The transactions went smoothly.
His photos were a bit over-saturated, but not too much compared to others. I’ve been able to get similar colors.

Yeah I see some good deals if you buy muiltable corals.
i bought my aqua-cultured orange tipped elegance from ebay - mainly because it was 70-80% cheaper than anywhere else. she arrived looking pretty freshly cut and had some guts hanging out. i emailed the seller who said that it'd been cut for at least 2 weeks and assured me that it was very hardy.
well, its been 62 days and she's still alive and looks to be doing well.
a lot of the big websites sell on ebay as well - however if you're buying from a "no-name" seller, i would look at his other stuff & feedback and then gauge your risk tolerance. but generally, i feel with the bidding wars and everyone buying from one seller to offset shipping - you end up not saving that much unless its something that you just cannot find or if you're planning to buy only 1 item.

I've bought quite a bit off of Ebay. It's riskier, but if you only use vendors that have numerous positive reviews, it isn't so bad. Also highly recommend quarantining/dipping anything you buy, as there aren't any policies put in place to protect you typically.

I have bought sps 15-20 packs several times. No issues. Just make sure there are plenty of good reviews
