Buy 3rd party ink on ebay

[nche11]

I just looked at ebay thinking I will be able to find some good quality ink there. I can only say oh my god! I found only 2 listings of Image Specialists ink and 0 for Formulabs (alotofthings). But I found one seller with 1250 refill kits at the moment. Further searching I found this same business with a different ebay id sells another 600 refill kits at the same moment. That's 2000 refill kits on a same day from one single seller.

I think this seller does not have more than 20 or maybe 30 different refill kits. They all look similar but the seller sells them to all models of HP, Epson, Lexmark and Canon printers. They look so similar that they must be a set of generic ink kind of stuff. They all look like factory assembled from Chinese factories. Oh my god. When did ebay become such a flea market of inkjet refill kits? Should I say refill junk? It's crazy and he's got some buyers! What is going on there? Oh my god!!!

Hobbicolors ink is sold on ebay - and that certainly is NOT junk.

If you want good quality ink at a very competitive price, go there.

I will second this.
Dave @ Hobbicolors has great products.
His shipping is lightspeed fast.
Packaging is superior.
He has answered all my questions quickly and thoughtfully.

Dave sets a high mark for all eBay sellers.

Thanks for the quick replies. I did find Hobbicolors. Its listings are much fewer and are buried in the ocean of thousands of repeated listings from not just one sellers but quite a few. It appears that these thousands of repeated listings are for the purpose of squeezing competitors out of selling on ebay. Very interesting. Now I probably won't advise people buying from ebay any more. I suspect Hobbicolors will last too long to stay on ebay. The flea bay is much like a jungle of junk now.

Very very much agree, I'll third that
Ordered my last 5C-LP large refill ink pack on 26-June, received it on 1-July over here in The Netherlands.
With the current rate of exchange USD <-> EURO, I'll never find any refill ink which is so cheap and with such quality over here in Europe, if there is any.
