  • I go out of my way to always use modern commemorative postage stamps on all of my mail, especially on my customer's orders. I believe a person chooses to make a purchase based on much more than just what is inside the package. Especially repeat cust…
  • If you're willing to enter someone's giveaway is it really that hard to push the store link to enter their store? It's my opinion that it you are automatically entered into the store it's just as easy to leave without browsing. I wish you would be t…
  • Mark and Justin, I love this feature and I appreciate all the hard work you put into it. What a great marketing tool for all of us! Thanks again
  • Thanks Mark.
  • U.S. 1898, Western Cattle in Storm would be on my list.
  • Hi, could you guys please let me know how you determine the suggested retail price of your stamp or collection for the giveaways? Thanks.
  • I started this discussion almost a year ago and it now seems that people are entering items in the giveaway section. Could anyone please tell me where I can find out how to enter my product. I would really appreciate it. Thanks
  • I prefer to ship each item in it's own display card or glassine. If I pay 4.6 cents per display card and 3.9-4.3 cents per glassine and have a 5 cent per item up charge. I then pay a variable rate fee on the 5 cents. That is not a profit in shipping…
  • Robert, some would ask why some fanatic would spend so much time and money collecting stamps at all. It's like I tell my children, "If you can think of it, someone in the world is collecting it". I hope you don't take this the wrong way, you seem li…

  • I remember Poppe and their store. I know what they did but it's not for me to say. I was kidding around with Michael on the 1,000,000 stamps. I assume if that became an issue Mark/Justin would deal with it. https://www.hipstamp.com/store/wasatch-st…
  • Must have to keep working on it.

  • If someone is going to resent paying 5c extra per item (which is what I pay for a display card or glassine) I am going to assume they will choose not to shop at my store. I'm sure the person who is aware of an additional per item charge and buys fro…

  • If you exceed 10,000, you should move to a featured store. If you can exceed 1,000,000! Please call me and give me your secret. Haha. Hope you have a great day!
  • Maybe I misunderstood. I will buy from several sellers and pay shipping to each of them, not full shipping for each item from one seller. I charge an extra5 cents per item because I send each in it's own glassine or display card. That l don't mind p…

  • Hi Michael, featured stores are limited to 100,000 items, premium stores are limited to 1,000,000. Hope that helps.
  • So back to several sellers listing the same cheap stamps as a lot of other sellers. I usually start with my favorite sellers list and move on from there. I found a stamp in one of my favorites awhile back, he must have had 50 or more copies. I order…

  • Thanks a lot Ron, I will do that. I appreciate your help.
  • I already have seen that happening Ted. I call it the Shopko mentality. Raise the price then advertise 70% off. I think some sellers just think that way. I usually skip right on by. Have a nice day.
  • The issue I have with the feedback system is that so many sites ask for feedback.I know a lot of people only leave feedback if they have had a negative experience. It's interesting how people put so much importance on a feedback rating but don't ta…
  • I really don't understand the problem here. If there is no demand for the products a store is selling it will eventually have to make changes or go out of business. Based on the sales I've had and the excitement of the "soaring sales" thread, seems …
  • I agree with you Doug. I use a legend listing my abbreviations and use SF-space filler in my title line. I also list the reason(s). Thin, repair, pin holes, etc. My daughter collects topical stamps and I will pick up a stamp for her in a second if i…
  • Sold a fault stamp for 2 cents again with my last order. That's 3 in a row. I have never sold a 2-5 cent fault by itself. I also believe we all have operating costs. If I started having buyer's purchasing just faults l would definitely rethink thing…
  • I was looking for collectible cards for my son and a Hipstamp add popped up. Pretty cool!
  • I agree there is a line a stamp really is not worthy of listing. I have started listing stamps with minor faults, repairs, etc. I include this in the listing. I have listed some of these stamps as low as 2-5 cents. I realize that we do not make any …
  • As a seller/buyer, your payment has to clear before it is shipped anyway. If you only want to accept PayPal, you could just say that on your homepage. I am grateful PayPal isn't our only choice. Maybe the pre-apprval is a temporary fix. I will pre-a…
  • Okay I found it under Terms: •Numerical Grades (Stamps), and prices based on Numerical Grades (such as SMQ Values), can only be displayed if the item comes with a Graded Certificate from the PSE, PFC or APS. If you type in graded stamps on the home…
  • Thanks Robert, if I do run across it I'll post.
  • I agree with you Brent, it will probably take some time to settle in and I'm sure there are alot of customers watching to see how things will come together. I am taking advantage of the time to learn all I can about the new system. I have alot of fa…
  • Ross, Thanks for the heads up on the forum discussion. I appreciate it.
