I have a question that maybe some of the Stamp sellers can answer.

During my travels picking up postcards and cigarette cards I also end up with a lot of stamps,I dont collect stamps and dont really want these stamps but I end up with them because they end up being chucked into boxes of Ciggy cards and postcards.

I thought I might put some on here and decided I had better go and look at Stamp sellers categories and prices before I jumped in with both feet.

Having done this I cant for the life of me see how a lot of stamp sellers on here make any money at all.

Ive seen stamps listed at 6p plus £1 postage.Now even if the stamp was free by the time you have paid 85p postage a 30p Paypal fee and possibly a 2% fee to ebid by my calculations its a loss, and thats not taking in account the time taken to scan and list it.

Im guessing the only way you can make this pay is break up presentation packs you have purchased at considerably less than face value (thats what I do all of the time when selling postcards),and then try to persuade buyers to use Paypal F&F.

So stamp sellers,how on earth do you make any money when selling a stamp for 6p ?
