But since Yuuki-Cha refuses to reply and based on my previous experiences with them, I am going with Chesslover's recommendation to add them to the list.

I don't understand why the owner of Yuuki-Cha doesn't work things out with Chip. Doesn't he/she realise that Chip is a respected member of an important tea community, with his opinions valued by many. From a PR point-of-view, an ongoing problem with such a person is bad news indeed!

Having said that, it wouldn't be the first time I have seen a retailer act irrationally, and against their own best interests. :shock:

+1, it is paradoxical. I prefer to do a lot of positives for vendors. And I do do a lot of positives. Yuuki-Cha by their actions and lack of actions has made it impossible for me to to do anything ... including Yuuki-Cha inclusion in OTTI tastings.

After my last post above, I figured I would give it one more try which I will post under the Yuuki-Cha topic.

Marriagefreres they sold me tea so old you can't believe it. I know it has a big history so but they sold me several teas so old you couldn't even tell if they were good teas to begin with. Sadly i bought more than one tea: Sun Moon lake tea, golden needle and alishan and they were really old.

UGH. Sorry to hear about the troubles, and thank you for the warning(s)!

He is trying to save on eBay fees by charging the majority in shipping.

It also looks like he is simply reselling at a higher price. This seems to be a tea bought from fengyuan-teashop for £15.99.

eBay charges you final value fee for shipping too, so it makes no difference if he sells the item for $1 and shipping for $49, or charge you $50 and free shipping

Few years before if i recalling correctly they didn't charge fee on shipping and that was a main reason for 0.99 prices .

valuetreasure on ebay sold me a teapot brush... it smells like a dead animal. The teapot stand that I bought was varnished by a 2-year-old it was such a mess-- avoid.
