Tom, I have opened a couple of your listings and UK is not included. Neither are many other European countries, Australia, Japan or China. I no longer ship to UK because they expect you to register and collect taxes on sales made to their resident…

I missed the auction. Can you list this lot in your store?
-
Thanks Mark for the clarification.
-
Those are the invoice numbers for my last 21 sales.
-
The problem is that some might consider that "overpriced". Apparently the poster claiming he couldn't find any Japanese stamps reasonably priced as he wouldn't pay full CV or 2 to 3 times CV for those offered doesn't know how to search for minimal …

Thanks Michael. If it goes up by 1, I might try it as I increment by 1. I know the invoice numbers are not unique to a seller. The point I was trying to make is of my last 21 orders, the numbering generally range from 4299697 to 4326344; however…
-
Is the next number generated always the same increment or does or does it vary and skip like the invoicing system?
-
Thanks for showing this option, but as previously stated, I will not use it. While it says auto-incrementing, I wonder if it counts by one's , two's or three's or some other method? Their invoice numbering system makes no sense to me. I see the n…

I also file items using private ID. I always assign my own number, but I believe I read on another thread that they can be auto assigned, but that feature, if true, would not interest me.
-
Greg, Robert is correct. Please see Mark's comment on this thread: 558 items missing from upload Mark Rosenberg by Mark Rosenberg · May 2022 because it appears that you've reused the same Private IDs on several hundred listings - and Private IDs mu…

I had a tracked envelope returned as "non deliverable as addressed," but explained the situation to my Postmaster and she simply crossed off the message and resent without it costing me any additional money. It was delivered the second time in 2 da…

Decisions Decisions. Should I buy his $25,000 Italy #mi263 or Scott #192 for $0.10.

Ray no one sending you a stamp order from the US to your US address would need to pay $8.75 to send it. I'm talking the minimum amount YOU should be paying to legally ship an order from the US to Australia or any other country outside the US. Ever…
-
Sorry but the the stamps shown are all very common and have no to minimal value.
-
Ray I also had that happen to me. It was on a tracked item. After explaining the problem to my PO, they simply scratched off the "no such address" and resent it at no cost to me. It arrived the second time without issue. Also, in your case the it…

I did absorb the fee. HipStamp did eliminate both his negative feedback and my positive feedback to him; however they did not remove him from site. Unfortunately we can't block buyers, therefore he could pull the same stunt again costing me or som…

Scott, the link provided by Greg is the pair being questioned. It has been soaked and I can't identify any gum. My first thought was that is would be shinny gum because it is a pre-cancel, but when I also saw values for dull gum listed in mint col…
-
I had planned to reply with something like that, but thought I would pose the question first in case there was a way to do it. I will wait until AM to respond, to allow someone else to chime in.
-
That was my dilemma too. No gum, so I can't tell, but potential buyer wanted answer and I was hoping someone could help. Thanks Greg for your comments. Maybe we can both learn something from someone else.
-
Here's the pair being questioned.
-
Tracking provides proof of shipment and receipt which might come in handy if your customer either doesn't receive or claims they didn't receive. Depending on the sale amount, an extra $2 might be worth it rather than needing to refund the entire a…

Typically HS wouldn't need to step in because your purchases are protected by PayPal who would refund your money. However, if HS is notified of the problem, I'm sure they monitor it and react if a particular seller continues to receive a large numb…

I'm glad that other "sellers" like myself, have spoken up and defended their credibility. Personally I'm offended by the inference that there are only "some sellers that are good" and that one should primarily deal with "credible dealers" which are…

Perhaps you are unaware that you can't use the forum to bypass listing and selling fees. You can "advertise" or promote what you are going to offer for sale or auction, but you can't solicit a possible buyer with the purpose being to get around sel…
-
Option two sounds good to me. Besides, now that he has paid, I think you are obligated to follow through with the sale. If you didn't, he might post negative feedback and you don't want that. You can give him a piece of your mind later, if he deci…

Just because your return address is on the envelope says Harry's Stamps, it doesn't tell them you are actually mailing stamps. They probably assume you are only mailing correspondence. Next time tell them you are mailing stamps and see what they c…
-
John my advice for you is to list as many or a few as you desire. While some may not like you listing multiples, many others do. Within the last hour I sold 4 copies of the same stamp to a buyer. If someone had told me to only list of 2 or 3, I w…
-
Simply create a new listing with the agreed price, but be sure to reduce it by your normal shipping charge. HipStamp will add this automatically when they provide the buyer an invoice. You will be provided a listing id number. Simply send that to…

Kent, I never had a problem with PayPal not wanting to take my money or provide me money when others are buying stamps from me. Why not give it a try?
