Re: Issues with ebay sellers

[Guest guest]

I've never seen the seller called The Full Orchestra advertise more than 10

of an item, so I doubt you are talking about him. He is the only ebay

seller I have experience with and the only one I recommend. He is the

only one I have seen that doesn't repeat the medical lies about iodine on

his products.

Regardless, everyone should be prepared to be inconvenienced right now

since there is such a demand for the product. I ordered immediately and

got my order yesterday.

I ordered 2 bottles of Lugol's from The Full Orchestra last Sunday and I

received my bottles promptly on wed. I'm very happy with his service. Thanks for

the recommendation .

Iodine prices are crazy on ebay and supply seems to be limited these days.

Naturodoc.com still has stock for 5% Lugol's solution.

http://www.naturodoc.com/ND-Lug1.htm

I was going to order iodine but I think I will wait a while since I still have

an adequate supply and the market is unstable.

Problem with herbsproonline; I ordered 5 bottles of potassium iodide, 240 per

bottle, 32.5 mg and paid through pay pal on Saturday, March 12 when the auction

showed over 300 bottles remaining. Wednesday I got an email saying they were

out and an offer to provide me something with just a few micrograms of iodine as

a substitute. Apparently they really don't keep any in stock and just obtain

the bottles after the auction closes, which they could not do after a flood of

orders. I still do not have my money back. Fortunately I have plenty of

Iodoral. I am not so concerned with the radiation issue since my wife and I are

surely fully saturated after a year of about 50Mg per day, but I am concerned

that it will be difficulty to get more in a few months when my current supply

runs low.

if you have questions about shipping. Sometimes they even send you a note,

outside of ebay's message system, telling you they ran out of potassium iodide,

and then offer another so-called replacement that has very weak potency (not

even close to what you need).

250 pieces of the product available. After I finished the purchase, it still

said he had well over 250 pieces of the product. A few hours later, the number

of pieces was still well above 200, so although it was selling, it was not

" flying off the shelf " quite yet. So I definitely should have had dibs on the

product he did have.

was relying on his supplier to have it and send it to him so he could forward it

to ebay purchasers. In other words, the " Quantity available " count that you see

on so many ebay listings might be fake.
