Beware of Cheap 1st & 2nd Class Stamps on eBay!

NORTHERNLAD · 29-01-2009, 07:17 PM

Just thought I would spread the news, there are some Ebayers selling cheap 1st and 2nd class stamps on EBay, the savings are around 35% from PO prices, but any saving is good news, they are unfranked and we have bought a few lots of 100 stamps for posting out smaller items. Have a search on Ebay! No idea how they do it - they must be nicking them from work or something!! We got three books and they were proper self adhesive unused LARGE 1st Class Stamps!!.

6 months ago i bought a large amount of stamps at a cheap price all looked proper ect.i then found out they were fakes it was all over the local news paper & local post offices were doing checks on them & when the item arrives to reciver they was charging them (bloody nightmare for me).Not saying more fakes are about but just watch what ur buying

good pointer, but I would be worried.

You can get discounts on bulk mailing, but that is not by normal stamps. I have seen stationary companies do deals, saving a few %, but 35%.

Forgeries or half hinched, my guess!

Thanks for letting the community know.

I've changed the title of the thread in the hope of drawing more attention to the report.
