I think he may be operating under another user name now. I came across several listings the other day that were incredibly similar to his (policies, shipping, wording etc) and the seller had abysmal feedback. I can't remember the user name, and who knows, it could be another person all together. But, I did notice that Bill Asia all but disappeared shortly after Ebay changed it's feedback policy so that sellers can no longer leave negatives.

I just purchased a Cattleya from Kawamoto and have to say so far they are tops in my book. I asked a question from the listing AFTER I won and paid so I was definitely thinking I wouldn't get a quick response and lo and behold not even 3 hours later I got a response. Also got an email same day saying my order had already shipped.
I won the listing on a Tuesday, they shipped same day and I'm getting this Thursday. Which is JUST crazy considering I'm in Ohio and they are in Hawaii! I think they also have a retail website.

Also purchased a Stuartiana Phal from efgorchids which was in pristine condition. I've never seen a phal that looked this good.

Now we just have to get these darn Florida and Hawaii vendors to start potting in bark! I can't keep anything alive in moss

I can't imagine that everyone out there doesn't already know this, but "Pea and Shell" is the name Carmela Orchids uses on eBay. One of my all time favorites!

My advice, don't buy from that store...unless you are a big fan of saving half dead orchid...
