or can anyone please share name of a reputable seller on ebay etc?

I hate to recommend based on a small data points but nevertheless it may be better than someone's random choice.
I mostly buy directly from aliexpress (China).

I recently got two of these and they work fine:
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product ... 33667.html
I had OK dealings with this shop so far.

In November I bought these
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/ESP8266- ... 41193.html
which also work fine. But an esp-12 from this shop took over 6 weeks to *ship*, and only after I opened a dispute.

So you take your chances...

Good luck

Had the same problem with seller named Small Mall. AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

I have the same experience with Banggod vs Alienexpress. The first one clearly more reliable IMHO.
