eBay Recommendations
Here you will find personal recommendations for individuals and businesses that sell beading and jewellery supplies via eBay. All eBay ID's listed ship to the UK, and are split into 2 sections: UK based sellers and International sellers, all have a fantastic feedback rating of 97% or more.
The sellers have been listed by their eBay store ID not their personal ID (except for those without one of course)! Artists selling their lampwork creations on eBay have been listed on our Handmade Lampwork page for your convenience. To avoid duplication sellers who also have their own website have their eBay store link alongside their main site on the appropriate page. If you know a seller listed here also has their own website please let me know so I can update their listing.
Please remember to check the eBay seller's feedback before placing a bid and ensure you are fully aware of all shipping costs and sellers policies. Don't forget orders shipped into the UK from non EU countries may be subject to customs duty so this may affect the final cost of your purchases.
I know it can sometimes be hard to share your favourite eBay sellers with others so big thanks go out to everyone who has contributed.
