SWIM is wondering how to ensure he gets 100% lye. He never had any problems buying 5 months ago, but now all the lye being sold on ebay is '99% pure'. Thats no good.

Is this normal or should I try looking a bit harder?

Depends on what is the rest 1%. It may be radioactive phosphorus or just residual water. Better contact the seller and ask him directly. You want to know because you plan to cook pretzels the traditional way.
