  • Update to my last post - I closed down and re-booted and now I am able to get in. Not sure what was happening before. I am still trying to figure ouit what I am looking at ! Steve
  • Well I signed up fpr Discord and the app was added to my desktop on my laptop. I signed off and I am trying to get back in but I seem to be in an endless loop now I put my userid and password in and it keeps going back to the sign in screen. I have …
  • i think inflation has caught up now to stamp collecting. I was even running a sale withh a promo code to my "regular" buyers and it hardly generated any sales the last few weeks. This is the slowest it has been in quite some time for me.
  • Well the PRINT issue that was also mentioned in my original post is working this morning - that was fixed. However, the sign in screen does take abot 30 - 45 seconds to pop up when I sign into HIPSTAMP.COM. It is not there when you first sign in - …
  • I missed the part of the email they sent me that showed a slight increase in the rate from yesterday - however as other's have said that I can live with - so long as I can stay in the Basic tier since I rarely go over 5000 items - I never reach the …
  • I just got an email response from support. They have decided NOT to change the item levels for the Tiers of Basic and Featured. Basic will remain at 10,000 items and Featured 100,000. Looks like enough of us have complained about that part of the ch…
  • Rod, You are in the same bracket as I am. I have been paying for the Basic store monthly for $9.95 and i have about 5000 listings. The change to a featured store to maintain my listings would be $32.95 a monthly basis not the $26.95 you mentioned be…
  • I am not happy. "The End For Me May Be Near !" My store has about 5000 items at any one time. So I have been in a Basic store on a monthly basis since Hipstart started and I currently pay $9.95 a month. So with the # of items I have Basic will no …
  • thanks Ted for explaining this to Wayne. I have had 2 of my regular buyers ask me the same question via an email message. I never ran a sale with a minimum before - and I will not do that again because it makes it appear as there is no sale - unless…
  • Scott, I spent 30 years in I/T well before web sites but even using in house applications we had what you said is 100% correct !! Steve
  • I have spent several days trying to get used to the new format. When the listing new items changed awhile ago - I had problems with that as well. I have gotten used to that except for not being able to figure out how the Year field is working - I th…
  • The View My store was the first thing I noticed was missing and I just could not even bother to look at anything else. I was just getting use to the new listing format and now this on top of that. I am not very happy right now !
  • I did the bulk update and I can not find any items that are showing the old rate. It was just one odd invoice that reverted back to the old rate, Maybe someone had items in their cart before they checked out - could that have picked up the old rate.…
  • I noted the "year" field problem when they first changed the format. Truthfully, I could care less about this field. I beleive that buyers only care about the Scott# when searching - the year was a nice to have but I do not even look at what is fill…
  • First of all as a seller I am guilty of not always providing the feedback to the buyers until after they provide feedback to me first. If they are new buyers I tend to wait to make sure there are no issues. For regular buyers I post right away becau…
  • The hundreds of OLD positive feedbacks I am getting DO NOT Have the comment "Positive Feedback Automatically Left After 45 days" They are all BLANK !!! When I go into the Feedback I need to reciprocate they all show up and was having to weed thru t…
  • Thanks - it is like a treasure hunt - if you don't look in the right spot you would not find it ! Announcements like this should be more visible especially to the sellers. Steve
  • Then that's another thing - where are these so called annoucements posted ? All of these recent changes just come out of nowhere.. Steve
  • Everyday - I clear off Feedback showing in ones I need to reciprocate too and the next day an entire new batch shows up. This is ridiculous ! It totally has made the feedback more meaningless than before !!
  • I knew something was strange the other day when I suddenly got feedback with a positive rating but no comments from 3 different buyers one of whom I knew had not bought from me in a long time. I checked back and sure enough it was from many years ag…
  • I have started listing using the new form. I am getting used to it somewhat. However, I noticed that the YEAR is not being filled in on a consistent basis. Now perhaps I never noticed it before on the Old Form but it is so obvious now. I see the cat…
  • Glad I saw this today. I am always looking for places I can donate and send excess stamps that I have. I sell here on Hipstamp and one other site but I have so many extras that are just not worth even the effort to sell since they are so common and …
  • I listed several new items using the new List Similar form today. It took me awhile to figure out that you MUST CLICK underneath the solid line when you put in the description - in order for the Item Specifics to update. If you do not click under th…
  • In the list few days I have created a handful of new listings. I can see if everything identified was fixed - using the single page form will be faster. However right now with the item specifics not updating - it is a pain to change at a minimum the…
  • Now I see what Carol is talking about. When I first looked at this last night - I was not even paying attention to these values. When I used List Similar - I knew they would all be updated by the system - now I tried one and it just leaves the infor…
  • I wrote a scathing review of this change on this discussion board post - late last night. This morining it is gone ?! Perhaps there was a system problem why it dropped my post but I feel like I have been censored. I am not going to repeat what I wro…
  • Well I guess I got scammed. Someone back in June told me I should look at EBAY and pick up some forever stamps at a discount before the rate go up soon. I was skeptical when I saw the roll for less than $10.00. I got the roll and just put it in a dr…
  • I guess I have not seen it yet because I never create a listing from scratch. I always pull up a current listing and use the list similar option and just edit from there. Did they ever announce a change to this ? I like it the way it is !
  • Lee, I found 34 older persian stamps that were hinged on some pieces of paper. I am not sure if the are originals or reprints. I will try to look at the catalog to identify which ones they are. I will send you a message when I know more.. Steve
  • Well my test FAILED !!! I had 3 folks use the code to get a discount on some small sales. I had more sales from people not using the code the last few weeks. So that means to me that people reading these announcements on the discussion board and ha…
