Hi John
I have, for a number of reasons, not looked at the Stamp Forums since your reply, so here is a belated thank you. Your advice is always informative. best wishes. Ray
I have been offered some good condition stockbooks that have slight toning on some of the pages. I would welcome views as to whether toning would make it unsafe to keep stamps in these stockbooks....
I have just noticed on the list of prohibited countries that it includes "Western Balkans". A quick search on the internet suggests that this comprises the following seven countries:
Croatia,...
Thank you.
I tried bicarbonate of soda with a few stamps, and also included a bowl of cat litter as well (suggested by a neighbour - as this removes smells from fridges) and it worked. I am now trying it out...
Is it unusual to find an Aden stamp used in Dar-Es-Salaam / Tanganyika?
Thanks for this suggestion, worth a try.
Does anyone have any advice on removing cigarette smoke odour from stamps and albums?
Thanks everyone for your comments. I asked in our main PO - now based in a WHS store - and was advised that they do have handstamps that could be used to carefully cancel stamps with. However it...
I know what you mean re closing of post offices. Where I live, the very busy main PO in town closed a couple of years ago and was replaced by a much smaller unit at the back of a WHSmith store. I...
I have recently purchased some stamps from a considerate seller based in Denmark. When the envelope was received there was a small label taped to the top right corner with a request that the post...
Sledgehammers and walnuts come to mind. As if the sale of a stamp more than 100 years old between a UK seller and presumably a UK buyer would make any difference at all to the current embargo of a...
Quite a list, much longer than I thought, and containing some countries I did not think of. Is this list published anywhere by PayPal ? I had a search of PayPal but could not find it - probably in an...
A couple of years ago my PayPal account was suspended because somehow it picked up that I sold a stamp issued by Sudan. The problem, and I was not aware of it, was that Sudan was an embargoed country...
Thanks Mel - will have a go a that.
Just got back from a visit to a major electrical store where I saw some fantastic new TVs. Pictures were great, but probably from an advertising DVD made specially to show off the picture qualities....
Thank you both for your replies. Bills term "print error" has me thinking about errors and flaws generally. Am I now right in thinking that "print errors" - such as the one I have illustrated,...
Can anyone explain the red line across the stamps shown in the images with this post ? Although I cannot verify it, I think it was caused during the printing process, and has not been "added" by...
I too have used strips of varying height cut down to the required size. If you haven't already acquired one, I would suggest you also acquire a guillotine to cut the strips to size - using the scales...
Thank you Hugh and Madelaine for the latest replies on this thread. Most grateful.

I am now down to my last few drops of the wmk fluid I have been using, so now want to explore using lighter fuel. Is there any particular brand that you use?
thanks

I forgot to attach an image of the card to my earlier message. Here it is.
How many members remember going into shops like F W Woolworth as a child and buying packets of "Ace" stamps? You could buy 6d (old money = 2.5p decimal currency) packets of one country stamps or...
Has anyone had any recent transactions / communications with Alexey Krasilnikov (ie cristlurd) from Moscow? Over the last year or so I have had some excellent transactions with Alexey, and looking at...
Thanks Hugh
Lighter fluid might be the next thing for me to try!
Ray
Many thanks to bluebedouin, suesjools, olivia8143 and ropegg. It looks like there are ways to proceed, although I suspect it may be a bit more difficult in my case - the buyer resides in Moscow ! The...
Over the last couple of years I have sold a number of items to a buyer who has always paid very quickly, correspondence fine, feedback left on receipt of the items. In all, an excellent buyer....
Thanks Meebo and Tony41
I shall investigate the shipping code tool. Hopefully I will be able to apply it to all of my listings in one go, rather than have to apply them individually in the first...
Has anyone used the eBid "Bulk Edit" tool to change postal rates on their listings?
I also saw a mention in the recent eBid Newsletter of an "Export and re-upload" tool - has anyone used this? ...
Thank you both John and Bill
I think I will pursue other means of detection before using lighter fluid ! I suspect John is correct re customs regs - I would need to check with the online sellers...
