I bought some snails, crabs and Ricordea for this guy about a year ago. It all arrived alive and healthy to Ohio.

I have also purchases zoos, shrooms, snails, cucumbers and many other things at Ebay, I have favorite sellers and before bidding I alway check the feedback , less then 99.00% positive I dont even look, under that I look to see what the negs were.
There are many great sellers on Ebay but some make there money off the shipping.
I just recently bought some corals from a person. He had some beautiful earings bin for .99 but shipping was 10.00 (hmmm?)
I emailed him and asked if I bought them all, 5 pairs would he just put them in the box with the corals, he said no, the shipping is fixed on them. Yea I bet it is.
He can ship them for under a dollar regular mail.
So be carefull about what they charge for shipping, most make there money there and sell there corals cheaper then most and you think your getting a great deal, but you are not.
Just be careful, read the feedback and the amount he wants for shipping.
Anything over 45.00 and I move on to the next item.
