    De-registered buyers

    For the third time in the past year or so, one of my buyers appears to have been de-registered before the transaction was even completed. Quite a number, considering I only had 7 or 8 sales during...

    Re: Sort order on store

    Thank you! I missed part of that-- I knew you could change the "view," but missed the sort order.

    Re: PayPal embargoed countries

    The whole thing seems a bit dodgy to me, so I avoid anything at ALL ambiguous. I live in the US, and am subject to US law... and even if I have US stamps from the early 1900s overprinted "CUBA" for...

    Re: Sort order on store

    I was also wondering if there was any news on the front of store keepers being able to use the "setup" for their stores to create a default setting for how a visitor sees the content of the store...

    Re: USPS Price Increase 01/17/2016

    What I mostly noticed was monster increases in low weight first class packages from the US to foreign destinations. I used to charge $8.00 flat fee for packages (items in a bubble mailer) under 3oz...

    Re: Sort order on store

    Glad to see this question addressed here. Seems to me that the most logical approach would be for store owners to be able to set the default for their stores. In my case, I sell postage stamps to...

    Well Tony, that's an interesting perspective... however unrelated to my intent.

    The above was actually intended as an attempt to kick some life into an otherwise "dead" part of the forums-- I...

    What areas do you collect?

    Hoping to maybe kick a little life into the stamp collecting forum... if anyone still cares or is "listening!"

    Let's start with the basics: What do you collect? Specific areas, or thematics... or...

    Good points-- I suppose I forgot that people approach collecting in different ways... when I was a beginner, I tended to start new areas by buying "500 different" (or however many) packages so I...

    Re: Free Postage

    There used to be a fairly common term merchants used, which you don't see very often, anymore... "The item costs £17, postpaid." Another way of saying "all included."

  13. Reordering user created store subcategories

    Don't know if this has been reported-- I seem unable to reorder my store categories.

    Stamps worth taking the time to list

    This may be a redundant question... but did we "lose" some posts when eBid "re-wound" the forum to the old software/forum drivers?

    Seems like some posts I remember replying to are no longer...
  20. Re: Facility to put an item into more than one store category, please?

    A very useful feature for postage stamp sellers-- often an item is best served by being listed under the "country" it belongs to, AND under some special category like "postmarks" or "covers" or...

    Yes, I've always enjoyed Stamporama, too... although it has been a while since I last checked in there.

    Also spent some time lurking (mostly) on the "Stampcommunity Family" forums.

    Re: Stamps ... Mint or Cancels?

    I've always preferred used stamps. There's something appealing about the "story" a postmark tells about the stamp... and how it was used to carry out its intended purpose of carrying the mail.
