For stamps where the gum condition is very consistent in quality, such as with more modern issues (like post WWII) a scan is not always shown since the condition is always the same from one example to another. We will note any gum side faults if a scan of the reverse isn't provided.

To avoid additional costs you must group your items into a single transaction with a single postage charge when making payment.   It's OK with me if you leave your order open and unpaid for a couple of days while you finalise your selections.

Paypal charge a 30 cent flag fall per transaction and eBay charge commission on each postage fee paid (even if I subsequently refund it to you).   Every time you pay with Paypal this happens and paying with multiple transactions when a single one was possible unnecessarily duplicates this.

I will refund you the duplicated postage charges minus the extra non-refundable fees.

To group your purchases, use the 'Add to Cart' button when shopping via ebay.com.au and then pay for your 'cart' when you are finished. Alternatively, you can group the items into a single transaction by going into your 'My eBay' then 'Purchase History' as long as you haven't paid for the items yet. Proceed to make payment from here and all items will be combined into a single transaction. If all else fails please contact me and I will arrange for a combined invoice.

I apologise if this causes any inconvenience but these fees are unnecessary and can represent a very high percentage of the sale price on lower priced items.

These will be hand cancelled almost always and thus will be a fine collectible item in their own right. Only a few percent of the millions of letter rate stamps used are traditional sheet stamps and thus gain a greater collectible value above the more common self adhesive version. Naturally occurring scarcity always wins with all collectibles.

All orders sent within Australia and overseas are posted in a high quality cardboard mailer with further protection inside against moisture and bending.

Some sellers might be a little cheaper than us for their postage and handling fee but our method offers a lot of extra value and is of a high quality. If you don't like this and intend on leaving a low rating after you order, please don't order from us.

If your order has a total value of $100 or more it must be sent with tracking which costs $A19 instead of the usual fee. This is for a standard size envelope weighing less than 50 grams (about 2 ounces). If your packed order weighs more than this then additional costs will apply

No questions asked.

We ask however that you return the item to us using the same level of postage service that we used.

Items are returned at the buyers expense.

Upon receiving the returned item we will issue you refund for your initial purchase cost.

Unfortunately collection and bulk quantity lots are not returnable unless they do not match the description given.

For orders that have a value of greater than $100 tracking will be required and costs extra. Please wait for an adjusted invoice before making payment.
