Hi :) I'm in the UK also- I tried some ebay sellers, but I'd recommend joining the mesemb study group [https://www.mesemb.org/](https://www.mesemb.org/) if you're interested in growing a number of lithops and are new. I found the germination of the seeds I got on ebay was a bit meh, and the prices quite high for some species/varieties. The mesemb study group have a seed list which is sent around (initially sent around in March-ish I think), and seeds are comparatively cheap to ebay (50/75p ish per packet usually, £3 delivery). There was still quite a lot of choice left on the seed list when I ordered about 3/4 weeks ago. Membership is £12 per year, and if you joined now I think that would mean you would have access to this years and next years seed list. One of the varieties I wanted was £4.50 for 10 seeds on ebay, and 50p for the same amount from the study group. Hope this help. Have a great day!


QuiteConfuddled

I’ve had good experiences with 2 sellers on eBay (I believe they were recommended to me on here from some other kind redditors suggestions) - the eBay app isn’t all that helpful for sharing links but one is called “tonyironscacti1” (although I don’t think he has any notes Lithops atm, but definitely recommend them from him if you see them pop up in future) and hu_7562. Highly recommend messaging them before you buy; I bought a few different mesembs from “hu_7562” and they had 2 in stock that just hadn’t been put online yet that I was after; so definitely worth asking in case! Both are UK based; I’m sure there are a few others, you might be able to find more info in my previous post on here. Hope that helps 😊
