    im new to this paracord tying stuff, looking for the cheapest place to buy different colors. I dont need super long lengths, just enough to get me started with a couple of lanyards. I was thinking ebay? How much should i be paying per foot?

    Paracord is actually really cheap. You can get 100 feet for around 8 USD about anywhere. You should start off with about 100' because knot tying takes up a lot more cord than you think.

    The cheapest I was able to find online with shipping was about $10.50 for 100 meters from an ebay seller. It claimed to be real paracord made in USA. There's lots of "550" paracord from China for less. You can find 350 lb cord for about $5.
    If anyone can show me where to get true 550 cord online for $8 with shipping that would be great!

    I liked that paracord master and all the different colors, but most of them seem out of stock, is that normal? When should i expect to see it in stock?

    I read that supply captain has shipping cost that starts at $30. Paracord master is $6 shipping to US only.

    I bought 50' for £1 at local Pound shop.

    This stuff isn't paracord by any stretch of the imagination but for practice it's great stuff.

    In the UK it's about £3 for 50' of proper 550 paracord.

    I can't remember exactly how much, but my last order which had somewhere between $20 and $25 in 25' lengths was about $30 or so after shipping, so their shipping should be decent.

    Supply Captain shipping starts at $5. It was easy enough to check on the web site. I've place orders for several hundred feet of paracord and never spend over $14 for shipping.

    Thanks for the shipping info, it may have been easy for some but I for one is somewhat limited in that area! LOL

    Ok, I was able to find the shipping at Supply Captain by entering my order and information and going through the process. For paracord up to 4 pounds. 1st Class International $11. So including shipping that makes it about $12.50 each 100ft if I order two hanks.

    @ Throc : That seller (trpenn64) is the lowest price I've found with $10.60 for 100ft including international shipping. From what you can tell his paracord is the 'good stuff' , 550lb type III ?

    Throc Loaded Pockets

    Yeah, it's good stuff. He ships pretty quick too. I've had a pretty pleasant experience with him.

    I use supplycaptain for paracord. Even though I'm in the UK, if you order enough (my last order was 900ft) the shipping works out OK. I like the quality of the cord from them, and the shipping is great. My last order took just four days, that's from order to frontdoor, not bad going considering how far it is.

    900ft; holy paracord Essexman!!

    I should check out this Supplycaptain ;D
