I have bought on ebay. I check the seller out and also check the shipping cost, sometimes it is more than a quilt shop. The times I have order4ed I have been happy with the fabric and service. But I usually only buy fabric by the manufactors that I know.

I have ordered from ebay. But I tend to stick with fabric I've already seen at other places.

I buy from e-bay to find certain colors or themes to add to a quilt. Also, since I live in Florida it is hard to find a nice selection of flannels to use when I make snuggly kids quilts. I do not buy precut...truthfully cause I'm a little OCD about it being cut right. Like the others I check the sellers rating and I read the feedback.

I have ordered from E-bay and have several sellers that are well worth the time to go through whats being sold. If there is a start price... I take into acct how much fabric, for example I like a quanity of fabrics, i.e 5 of 1 yards to be used for a pick 5 quilt.. anyway I divide what quanity into the inital price. If it comes out less or at least $4.00 a yard, I will watch it until I see if there is any increases along the way. If it's fabric that I recognized and have a general idea of the price per yard, then I will think what is the most I want to pay. And then I make my decision as to bidding on it. I have seen fabric that would normally sell for $9.00 a yard and if it's really a great fabric, I will watch the bidders because by the time you add the shipping into it, sometimes you are not saving a dime.
