For the third time in the past year or so, one of my buyers appears to have been de-registered before the transaction was even completed. Quite a number, considering I only had 7 or 8 sales during...
Thank you! I missed part of that-- I knew you could change the "view," but missed the sort order.

The whole thing seems a bit dodgy to me, so I avoid anything at ALL ambiguous. I live in the US, and am subject to US law... and even if I have US stamps from the early 1900s overprinted "CUBA" for...
I was also wondering if there was any news on the front of store keepers being able to use the "setup" for their stores to create a default setting for how a visitor sees the content of the store...
What I mostly noticed was monster increases in low weight first class packages from the US to foreign destinations. I used to charge $8.00 flat fee for packages (items in a bubble mailer) under 3oz...
Glad to see this question addressed here. Seems to me that the most logical approach would be for store owners to be able to set the default for their stores. In my case, I sell postage stamps to...
Well Tony, that's an interesting perspective... however unrelated to my intent.
The above was actually intended as an attempt to kick some life into an otherwise "dead" part of the forums-- I...
Hoping to maybe kick a little life into the stamp collecting forum... if anyone still cares or is "listening!"
Let's start with the basics: What do you collect? Specific areas, or thematics... or...
Good points-- I suppose I forgot that people approach collecting in different ways... when I was a beginner, I tended to start new areas by buying "500 different" (or however many) packages so I...
Speaking of "number of stores" and all that...
As a stamp collector, I would find it very useful if it were possible to see ALL the stamp stores across the subdomains on a single page... rather...
There used to be a fairly common term merchants used, which you don't see very often, anymore... "The item costs £17, postpaid." Another way of saying "all included."
Consumers-- especially here...
Don't know if this has been reported-- I seem unable to reorder my store categories.
I just created a couple of new subategories for one of my shops-- as usual, they were appended at the end of...
I imagine "souvenir postcards" like these are a collectible onto themselves... I suppose they might be interesting to a "general" stamp collector. They are certainly quite colourful and interesting....
I personally don't-- I have a few postcards in my stamp collection because the stamps on them were used at a time or place that's relevant to my collection but I don't have them "because they are...
Just taking a moment to revive this thread-- after the "re-boot" of eBid with a new layout and more "modern" feel, it seems to me the site offers some excellent opportunities for stamp sellers,...
Much talk and discussion is made of "the future of stamp collecting," and many who have been in the hobby for decades are concerned about an overall decline, as older generations of collectors pass...
Looking around the eBid "stamps" listings (with over 500,000 active listings, definitely a "major" category) I often find myself puzzled by the volume of very common material offered, and the sheer...
This may be a redundant question... but did we "lose" some posts when eBid "re-wound" the forum to the old software/forum drivers?
Seems like some posts I remember replying to are no longer...
A very useful feature for postage stamp sellers-- often an item is best served by being listed under the "country" it belongs to, AND under some special category like "postmarks" or "covers" or...
Sort of related... I find it rather sad and a little depressing that the top level domain "ebid.com" has basically been "squatting" for almost a decade-- never turned into a web site, and never...
Oooh.... that's not good.
I've seen that message before on Pinterest, in connection with a writing site-- at that time it meant that Pinterest had identified the originating domain as "excessively...
More years ago than I care to remember, my dad's intent in getting me interested in stamps as a wee child was so i could learn about the geography, history and culture of other places... growing up...
Yes, I've always enjoyed Stamporama, too... although it has been a while since I last checked in there.
Also spent some time lurking (mostly) on the "Stampcommunity Family" forums.

A markdown feature would be a nice thing to have, especially one that allowed us to choose specific items to include in a "special."

Most likely, the ads you see are served as a result of places you have visited on the web, or searches you have made, or "related" searches you have made. Most ads on web sites are "contextual,"...
For me, it isn't-- and likely never will be-- an "all or nothing" proposition.
I really like eBid because-- as a seller of stamps to collectors-- it allows me (as others have pointed out) to sell...
I know we now have our own part of the forum here on eBid, just for stamps.
I was wondering though, if anyone else is an active participant at other stamp collecting forums around the web? If so,...
I've always preferred used stamps. There's something appealing about the "story" a postmark tells about the stamp... and how it was used to carry out its intended purpose of carrying the mail.
My...
I've been looking at the "Buddy Points" and the "Affiliate Program" and my enthusiasm is a bit lukewarm.
A couple of reasons: One, I don't like tossing "sales pitches" at people. Two, I don't...
