Are you ex- military? Try searching veterans if you are..

Many thanks for the sticker- proudly on the back of my car!

Done

You could also try UM - unmounted mint - which a lot of sellers use

Hi Karen Seems to be an Ebid thing as I have had over 100 sales with no notification

The vast majority of stamp sellers are only online now. A 2% tax levy will make things difficult for those of us who have already suffered a major downfall in profit. Anything more will mean a lot of...

If your items are high value I would suggest a store is a good idea, more publicity and as madeleine said, it encourages potential buyers to check your other offerings.
All the best,

Hi I use Pinterest to show some of my stamps. I use other social media as well, and get regular sales.

Lol. Rub it in they always do.......

And all the best Bill!

I think success is a very personal thing. Some sellers have good sales with relatively few listings, others have listed thousands to get good sales. If you want to go full time as a stamp dealer (as...

Hi
The best method I have found is to soak the stamps as previously mentioned. With self adhesives, place them in a bowl of water with lemon juice slightly tepid and leave until cool. Gently peel...

Hi
If they are mint stamps, describe them as 'mounted mint'. They are worth less than never hinged unmounted mint but do retain a value, 20-30% of catalogue is about right. If they are used stamps,...

Hi Ray
They should be fine for used stock but I have found that mint stamps tend to pick up staining quite quickly from toning on pages, think its a reaction with the glue.
All the best,

Hi Marie

I know the US is in the process of lifting the ban on Cuban items, but you may want to play safe:-

Ask your customer NOT to pay any eBid invoice you send

Create a Paypal invoice,...

Very good suggestion - think most of the collectables sellers would agree

'mh' works fine - over 4000 hits. Dont forget 'mm' too!

Those are the main 5, though I have had delays and checks for selling Ukrainian stamps as well. One way around the Paypal problem is to send your customer their eBid invoice BUT instruct them not to...

It depends on the condition of the album and contents. If very good, they can go for a fair amount as a whole unit, as these albums are still sought after by collectors, who can then fill in the...

Hi I recently have had a few 99+ sales; I work around it by issuing multiple invoices, explain to the buyer not to pay the eBid invoices, then send a Paypal request for the total amount, using the...

Hi I would fill in some details on your 'About Me' page, this instils a bit of confidence in buyers. Use the Social Media buttons to advertise your items. Make your items a little cheaper on here -...

Lighter fluid works just as well as watermark fluid at a fraction of the cost, just make sure the area is well vented and give the stamps a little extra time to dry out. I used to use an electric...

Done as well

Bah! Humbug!

When selling stamps for a collector, there are lots of factors to take into consideration - condition is the primary factor, although this can be mitigated somewhat by rarity. Cheapest is not always...

Hi
Thought I would raise this with you - currently there is no indication to buyers that sellers have received an order and are working on it (processing). I have noticed quite a few Forum points...

Have a look at www.vietnamonline.com - it explains the different phrases for the address.
You could always ask the buyer to write out his address and e-mail it to you, then copy it onto word, print...
