  • Bob, So to do what you are saying includes all the old data from items that have been sold up to 15 years ago, both auction and fixed priced,, take the offers and hipvalues combine then divide by 2 to come up with it. yet 2 paragraphs later you st…
  • Bob, Even if you take into account some of the others issues, you still have the issues that those values also include vales for auctions, fixed price and lots. In order to come to some reasonable price range you are going to have to do a number o…
  • Bob, Why would you give him a bad tool to use that will take him longer to work through. From what Tom is stating I think I what may be going on. He didn't state which Scott cat values he was using. Now if it is mostly the older listings and he ne…
  • Here is 1 example. https://www.hipstamp.com/listing/canada-j6-10-used-cv2465/8945357 If you look at the sellers feedback, the very last one he got was from 2009.
  • Hip values also include many items that were sold back in the days Bidstart. (So the average Hip values can include items that were sold as far back as 10 years or more.)
  • Harry, Go into Pypal and at the top of the page click on activity, there is a link to get into reports. Under reports there is a link to get your yearly summary which will have the total of fees paid to Paypal. You can set the dates range you're l…
  • Scott's doea have prices for both the complete stamp and the halves. They are footnoted after each set.
  • Hello Dwight, The 2 main reasons that a lot of sellers have gotten away from shipping outside the US is due to USPS and UPU rules ,regulations and postage costs on shipping outside the US. To legally ship any merchandise outside the US all merchan…
  • John, Just remember there are some folks that just like to act like grumpy old goats. Take what some of them are saying with a 40 lb bag of salt.
  • It most likely goes up by 1 each time. The invoice system is a different matter as those on the invoice are given numbers when the order is made. Those are Hipstamps invoice numbers. those are not broken down by seller per se. I would think the rea…
  • John, Someone else may want to use it and they may not know where to look for it. It looks like it does the same thing that Greg does. The seller puts in the prefix and then it generates a suffix on the next listings that are posted. And the onl…
  • It's on the listing form under preferences Preferences Auto-Generate Private IDs When auto-generating Private IDs, you'll enter in a prefix, and we'll add an auto-incrementing counter to each new listing. (To the right is a little grey circle tha…
  • Ted, It really isn't a matter of whether it's worth the time and effort, it comes down to a practical matter of being able to handle lower value material quickly and easily otherwise you won't make it. If your minimum price point is 25 cents per i…
  • John, First off you need to understand that depending on the type of show can determine the type of seller that shows up at the show. As a general rule of thumb at most club shows you will find very few of the sellers are usually selling by bulk. …
  • Ted, Just a curious question for you. Would you take the time to scan and list 100's of common unused postal cards as single listings showing each card as an individual listing? Or in some cases is discretion for those type of items a better optio…
  • Luree, Actually it would put the onus on the seller, as if the packages can not be tracked as to whether or not it was delivered to the customer. How long before it would be that Paypal or other credit card processors suspends those accounts for …
  • It would go to the Mail Recovery Centers And Correspondence is destroyed and anything of value is auctioned off. https://faq.usps.com/s/article/What-is-the-USPS-Mail-Recovery-Center Undeliverable mail determined to be of value, meaning the content…
  • You do realize that most of the sellers are charging you per shipment and NOT per item. Most customers have a tendency to purchase more than 1 item so that the shipping does not come out actually to $5 per item. (If you happen to ONLY purchase that …
  • Also by the 1920's the year was almost always listed as 4 numbers not 2. In the 1800's you see a number of them with 2 numbers for the year but by 1900 they were using 4 numbers for the year. Scott As to the usage it's nothing special, somewhat c…
  • Those are CDS cancels without the year. (Which is fairly common.) Are you aware of the fact that many CDS cancels DO NOT include the year in the cancellation? That cancelation is July 2 without the year included. (The 12 and 13 are not dates either…
  • Bob, Paypal doesn't always charge a dispute fee. I think they will charge it if the dispute was started via the credit card co. If the dispute starts on Paypal they usually don't charge that fee if the seller is proactive with the dispute. (IE if …
  • John, Actually you state in your own return policy this Your satisfaction is guaranteed. Full refund upon receipt. Hipstamp terms and conditions require you to honor YOUR own policy. As you did get the stamp back according to your return policy a…
  • Is that how they figure out the amount of volume that they can take up? IE they seem to be able to take up the square root of the volume of the smallest possible box they can fit into but yet on the other hand they can also take up the area on your…
  • Greg, This may seem like a silly question but how did you come up with John selling off almost 15% of his listings for the month? If he currently has about 860 and sold about 56 then his listings for the month would have totaled about 920 with abo…
  • It's listed in Scott's under Poland General Government. after the regular issues (Don't have the number off hand at the moment.)
  • Steve, On the store landing page on the left hand side is a number of filters. Scroll down to the shipping and filter and make sure that is marked as US. (I think what may be happening is that somehow that box got checked for Netherlands and when…
  • Bob, Lauren is showing you a screen shot taken from the store directory, which are all premium stores. (If you are a featured or basic you should be under one of those. The premium stores are listed first, than the featured, basic then starter stor…
  • As Bob only ships to the US (unless you change the ships to filter to show US, you will not see his store if you are outside the US.)
