For a group of people who spend a large amount of time collecting postal ephemera, there's not a lot of knowledge displayed in this thread about contemporary international postage services. 1) Both Australia and New Zealand have suspended some int…

Looking good! Appreciate that it's available on HipPostcard too. Been browsing the data the last week or two. Just happened across it.

It's called competition.

If the international service has del-con (delivery confirmation) to the destination in the foreign country, you can now get tracking through to the final address. For example, a customs label number with LZ prefix on a package I mailed Jan. 3 can b…

So... stepping around the noisy oyster ... and back to the headline news at top of thread - Mark, any GMV data for HipPostcard, the kid sister to HipStamp? The forum over there is so, so quiet, I thought I'd stop on by to meet with up BidStart pal…

If you have got problem(s), send a message to Support. Usually very helpful & response is quick to most requests.

^^^^^ and that sync works really well when Mark is managing its technical requirements. Better than any similar sync on any other site I've sold on.

Is this a good bargain? . https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/1862-71-us-revenue-scott-r79-washington-160-green-cv-12000/10254545

Stop the Perfidy Now!

Looks like my friend Hamish has been getting stuck into the stamps again. I forbade him to nibble my postcard offerings. I'm very sorry for his destructive ways. If you see him, turn him in will ya? We've gotta get him off the perfs!

It would be nice to have a seller dashboard of summary stats in the Members Area to be able to see at a glance what month to date sales have been etc. instead of having to download a CSV periodically. I miss that from the old My BidStart set up. It…

Over on HP, I've had some sales this month. Ran a sale by email marketing newsletter for a week & that pushed things along. Though not exactly "soaring" results it keeps me interested in keeping listing & staying committed to the site. At so…

Thanks, Mark! That explains it - my HP notifications go to a MS account. Double whammy with Paypal's mess & the MS delay, but being aware of the situation now I can check my Hip account & PP directly till things get back to normal.
-
So, you know what happens when you say sales are slow? Right. Something sells. So just to reiterate my earlier statement, HP is VERY dormant right now. Ok, back to listing more...
-
I'm over on HP where things are dormant. I'm waiting while the technical things are put in place then I expect some marketing will start to move things along but I expect that to be slowly incremental. There's been a loss of buyers from BS-SGM- to H…

Perhaps the buyers need a reminder to redirect their interest to HS. Often enough that they take the effort to do so.
-
So, thus far, discussion suggests sales may or may not be soaring because sellers may or may not be using customs forms for international shipments. Food for thought that may keep you hungry for more.
-
John, I think Mark is saying the order is just counted by Paypal as if it were 1 item. The order itself contains all the individual items sold & that information is still included within the Paypal payment notification or receipt. The order = a…

See Mark's post of Aug 7 above.
-
Yes, I think I pulled 5 years up some time back. Just change the time period settings. Of course, PP may have changed it so you can't go back more than a year since I last did it. I just update for the time period since I last pulled customer info &…
-
The FB group is doing just fine, thanks. It's an alternative forum free of a particular selling site's limitations. It might pay to remember why the group was set up in the first place about a year ago. We're also casting things broader than one par…
-
Well, I guess that mostly answers my question, John! LOL. But we'd already discussed what's likely to unfold.
-
Mark, What of those of us who don't deal in stamps? Will you be making any announcement re those categories, eg postcards, and whether BidStart will be an ongoing platform to trade them on? I temporarily closed my BidStart store back in early Apr…

I heard a whisper in the wind that there was a Hip place that echoed both of the old & the new in collectibles. HipStamp awakens, but maybe out there in the future some day there'll be a HipPostcard too. We'll be waiting. Meantime, enjoy the …
