But Joe Sharman likes to profess his own lack of access to modern technological aids such as electricity so I'm sure somebody must be helping-out with his eBay sales. Perhaps the change of name is to reflect that Monksilver Nursery is now selling as a business rather than via an individual?

Don't know about those - but Mark Smyth had a list of respectable sellers the other day - here are a few...
North Green aka erifis88
Andy Byfield aka bitarla
Blacksmiths Cottage Nursery
Cornovium
Engelsdropje
Ian Christie aka sgtmajor47
wheelieneily
wirralwave
ombersleyplants
Beth Chatto
Matt Bishop
farmhouse5000
Anne Wright is DRYADZNY
groman4444 is Melvyn Jope
there will be some more you can trust- it would be helpful if they were added here ... the GOOD ones! There are some selling that are new names for old trouble - caveat emptor !

It would be very useful to have a list of the ebay seller names of reputable sellers - as you say, there's a lot of fraudsters out there. I wouldn't buy on ebay unless I knew who the seller was.

Yes, a positive list is good - negative reports cause too much grief all round - some of the shysters get very ratty!

Some will list something which they don't even have. Just to get a bit of money. Very very sneaky.

Maggi, Ralph and Lewis I can vouch for wheelieneily, I bought a galanthus three ships plant off him the week and it arrived the other day. It arrived well wrapped and in a cardboard tube and was a good size plant. I would definitely order from him again.

And who is queen-beez?
My AT tells me that this seller has changed their name on Ebay, not necessarily dodgy but:
User ID Effective Date End Date
queen-beez 19-Nov-12 Present
greentipsnowdrop 14-Apr-10 19-Nov-12
