Good eBay ACCESSORY stores/sellers

This thread is for your recommendations for good eBay accessory sellers

But lets keep it as a thread for posting links to your favorite eBay sellers that you go to for ACCESSORIES

I would rather we didn't use it for the one-off new lens deals (there would likely be one reply per member, and this thread would lose the plot!). So accessories only please.

Some history: a while back I got some FAKE Ultra II cards and had a battle getting my refund. And also I recently bought some generic/third-party/after-market α100 cells only to find out they were the right size and shape (and being sold as for the α100), but NOT compatible with the camera! So, I personally went through some pain getting the cash back on those too. So in reply to that I shall post in here the two eBay shops that I used to get GOOD cards, and GOOD cells.

So ... recommendations for GOOD/RELIABLE eBayer sellers selling good accessories.

Hopefully this will become a good point of reference.

PLEASE - NO RECOMMENDING YOUR OWN SITE - THAT WOULD BE ADVERTISING & QUICKLY DELETED

and I've popped it up as a *sticky* for reference, and thank you to Heidfirst for the idea, we exchanged a few PMs around finding a seller for some lens caps I think it was?

& Fotodiox/Qualityfoto was my source for generic centre-pinch caps - they do 2 types.
Based in the US but they were cheaper than buying from Hong Kong eBayers & shipping by USPS took about 5 days to the UK.

22/01/07 Bought some more stuff (stepdown rings etc.) & again turned up fine in the UK 1 weeek later.

If they don't have it, there's a good chance they can get it. They found a hard to find UV after a short email to them. www.maxsaver.net

copy that, I have also bought filters from them ... good seller

(thanks H20boy for adding to this thread :>)

For generic wired remote cables for the 5D, 7D and I presume the A100 try Hudson River Photo. I bought a cable from them which is well made and the delivery was good.

For many things Minolta, try Minolta Mania who also gave good service.

I bought my A100 w/ a custom kit from:

Cameta Camera
If they don't have what you want on auction, you can call them and buy it directly...I had them custom build my A100 kit for me.

I buy all my CF cards here:

j.d.katz is well known for his camera bodies and lenses, but he also has quite an assortment of accessories from original Maxxum straps to filters and creative expansion cards.

I have used Crooked Imaging a few times. I ordered a raincover for my Tamrac bag at 15:00 yesterday and it arrived at 08:00 this morning.

I didn't think that I would buy on eBay from someone named Crook (after whom the store is named) but this guy has proven to be 100% (as is his feedback!).
