wow. all i can say is so far ultimaker support has been lightning fast.
i also knew it would be "yes, that really cheap filamnet from ebay will be awful" i can imagine it being very inconsistent diameter, and lots of air bubbles.
i belive faberdasherry was actually the site i was also interested in, and very good prices!

faberdasherry is highly recommended.
If you want to buy from ebay don't go for the cheapest reels.
You need quality 'input' (filament) if you want quality output. (prints)
As for guidelines, it should be 3mm (in practice this usually comes down to 2.85mm)
If it is 2.8 or 2.9 that is all ok, as long as it has a consistent diameter.
