OZ contact?

[abax]

How might one get an email to OZ about an ebay offering
and how I prefer shipment?

Glad you ask, I saw OZ offers 3 schlimii for 60.00 (I believe it is an amazingly great deal)
since I don't have any schlimii yet (The funny think is for a long time, I did not think schlimii looks good comparing to manzurii, fischeri, so I did not buy that species at any orchid shows) Now, I just got fischeri & manzurii, I want to get schlimii to complete those similar species .
I know that OZ has many crosses of schlimii, the info says that if you want to buy more , contact , so I email OZ thru ebay twice try to see if I could request to get more then one set of three so I can get all the crosses ,one of each cross (not repeating cross)
I didn't receive any reply yet, so I am crossing my finger too

Another way though ebay is to contact member or PM John C though Slippertalk. He is very good about replying pretty quickly.

I am kind of tempted to contact him by PM, but I afraid that I would upset him for bothering him with something that he may consider not important at all . I imagine most of his plants are premium connoisseur materials and not the package deal like this (for this , I would expect some of his employees to handle my inquiry and not the owner himself)

Hien, trying to contact them before actually buying the
plants is impossible as far as I can tell. I suspect it's an
ebay rule rather than OZ preference. However, shipping
is important this time of year and I won't buy the plants
without knowing if they'll ship the way I have to have it.
Good luck.

There is no ebay rule that blocks contacting the seller. Actually you are supposed to ask all questions before you bid. On the sale pages there is a contact Seller link to make it easy to ask questions but it's up to the Seller to respond.

If you have an eBay account, you can contact sellers.
You should see "ask seller a question" near the bottom of a list.
You click on it.

I have an account with ebay, but on the particular offering
I've looked everywhere on the page and cannot find the
contact seller...very frustrating.

If you look at the Shipping section of the ebay listing it has a link "Contact Seller".
Or click on the sellers name and it takes you to their info page.
Like this:

http://www.ebay.com/usr/theorchidzone?_trksid=p2047675.l2559

Upper right corner is "Contact".

I tried so let's see what happens. Probably the damn plants will be gone by the time I get some kind of reply.
Hien I'll let you know if I get a response if you'll let me
know if/when you do.

I often contact them for info through the eBay listing.???

my experiences say use the email that Justin provided. John is trying to take a very hands on approach to running Orchid Zone. Also, both the Orchid Zone and the buyer can get a better deal by completing transactions outside of Ebay if it is for non-specific plants (ie, not specific clones offered on Ebay). Also don't forget that since John is taking such a hands on approach, there will be times where it might take a couple of days for him to respond if he is travelling...but overall that is a better situation that if he has a whole lot of different people responding to inquiries

I did use that email almost a week ago and sent a message
via ebay as well. Perhaps he is traveling. I know if I ran
my tree nursery like he seems to run OZ, I'd lose very
valuable customers.
