I haven't had bad experiences on eBay, but it's been several years since I've bought fabric there. the last time I got into a bidding war on some out of print Laurel Burch fabrics, and won after spending a ridiculous amount on them.

And then the fabrics were re-released 2 years later. :(

Purchased fabric on E-Bay, with no problem at all.

Alot of times you can fine it on ebay where you can't find it any where else?

I've been really pleased with my fabric purchases on ebay. I even got a set of small african batik squares for 1 cent! (plus shipping, of course, but that was only $2.)

The thing that has amazed me is how quickly the sellers get stuff to you once you buy. I've had only positive experiences so far.

I bought from Emerald City Fabric and Craft. I bought 2 charm packs of RJR fabric for about $11. They were fast with shipping and I thought that was a good deal.

I never had any problems, but my brother bought me some and never received it

I bought several fat quarters on E-Bay. I will never do it again. Very poor quality, thus unusable. You could see through half of them and the other half were as stiff as cardboard.

I have purchased many yds from various sellers on Ebay & have been pleased with all of them. Good prices & fair shipping most of the time.

My favorite to purchase is 30's and civil war fabric's.

I have purchased fabric numerous times on ebay and so far all of my experiences have been very positive (I am knocking on wood as I write this). The fabric has been good quality and exactly as the seller listed it. I always check before I purchase their selling rating and if they have any negative feedback against them. I think that is important. I also don't hesitate to contact the seller if I have any type of question before I buy.
Good luck to you.
