I buy from this shop on Ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/littlecraftybeadersshop/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

Very good and quick service, never had any problems.

I get mine from all over the place. You need to know the typical price for what you are looking for so that you don't overpay. Here are a couple of sites that I've used and been happy with the service from:

http://www.beadaddict.co.uk/uk/index.htm
http://www.spoiltrottenbeads.co.uk/
http://www.jewellerymaker.com/

I buy Murano glass beads and have been happy with the first two as I've been able to make things at a fraction of the shop bought price (the third one is more for semi-precious stones and findings).
I also wanted to post the second and third sites because whether or not you buy something from them, they have useful tutorials so you can see some of the techniques (apologies if you know them already).

I don't particularly like eBay, its not for me, but you do see some very good deals on there too, but again, you really need to know what you are looking for in order not to overpay.
